Out for lunch with a friend and need to send them money on your phone? With such a wide assortment of personal payment apps and options out there – Cash App,™ Venmo,® Paypal,™ Apple Pay,® Google Pay,™ Zelle,® etc. – it can be challenging to figure out which one is best for you. But before you head to the app store, download another app and input a bunch of personal banking info, check out our personal payment feature, Send Money.
How does it work?:
- Send to anyone, even if they aren’t a Credit Union member.
- Your friend can determine how they want to receive the funds : Paypal, Venmo or to a checking account with a debit card.
- Send a recurring payment or schedule a payment for the future.
- Note: You must have a checking account and debit card to use this service.
How to send money:
- Click here to get started or log into online banking and select "Payments & Transfers" and then "Send Money."
- To send a one-time payment, enter your friend's email or phone number and the amount you want to send. Click “Transfer Funds.”
- To send a scheduled or recurring payment, click on the clock icon and enter your friend's email and the amount you want to send. You can select never (one-time payment), weekly, or monthly. Please note: Scheduled and recurring payments can only be sent to an email address.
How your friend receives money:
Note: This service does not include an option for you to request or receive funds at this time.
- Your friend will receive a link via text or email alerting them that the funds are ready to be transferred.
- They will then make the choice to receive the money via Venmo, Paypal or into a checking account.
- If your friend is a Credit Union member or their financial institution is within the Send Money network, the funds will be transferred directly to their Credit Union account.
As personal payment options continue to change, we’ll monitor new developments to ensure we’re offering the best solutions for our members.
Note : As with any personal payment option, it's best to only send money to people you know. No other personal information – such as their account number – is necessary, which provides an added sense of security.
