External Transfer FAQ

As security enhancements continue to be an ongoing focus and priority for TLCCU, we require verification procedures for Online Banking external transfer account setups. (Formally called Financial to Financial Transfers)

When a new financial institution is set up, our system will generate a debit and credit for a random amount less than $1.00 at your other Financial Institution, then you must verify this transaction amount in Online Banking before scheduling any transfers.

Select transfers from the menu.

Select "External Accounts" and then click on either of the "+External Account" buttons.

You will be prompted to enter your password for security. Then you can enter the external account information. Once the information has been entered you can click "Submit."

You will need to check your account at the other Financial Institution in 3 business days, then log on to Online Banking and correctly validate the verification transaction amount under the Transfers, External accounts tab. Click on the > to the right of the institution.  Validate link by entering the transaction amount in order to activate the new account for transfers.

The new setup will be removed from Online Banking after 39 days of when the setup was established if you do not provide the validation amount.

You will have 3 attempts to correctly enter the verification transaction amount. If this is exceeded, the financial institution will be locked from use and the set up will need to be added again.

Once the verification amount has been verified, the account will be active and you can begin scheduling transfers immediately. Please allow 3 business days from the date of your request for the transaction to be posted.

All new external accounts are subject to the verification process and will not be available for immediate use until the verification process has been completed.
