Enrollment & Fees

  • Bill Pay is a way to pay businesses directly from your account without using a card or check. Instead, you access Online Banking or the UFCU Mobile app on your device and authorize a payment to a biller. UFCU sends your payment electronically when possible or via a paper check through the mail. Payments can be sent as soon as possible or can be scheduled. They can be one-time payments or recurring.

  • There is no fee.

  • UFCU checking accounts are eligible.

  • Yes. Any secondary or joint owner of an account can create their own Login ID and password to access Online Banking. Joint owners can view all activity and make transfers.

  • No. Bill Pay is accessed from within Digital Banking.

Payments

  • Only bill payments issued by check are eligible for a stop-payment To place a stop payment on a bill payment please contact us.

  • No. An electronic payment cannot be stopped after the payment date. You can edit and/or delete a pending electronic payment before the payment date only if the payment displays as pending.

    If you send a payment by mistake, you must contact the merchant directly to request a refund.

  • For electronic payments, funds are withdrawn from your account after UFCU’s cutoff time on the send date. For payments by check, funds are withdrawn when the biller cashes the check.
