4. Take a picture of the back of your check.

6. Tap the Deposit button.

A portion of your funds may be immediately available; however, we may place a hold on the funds if we require further review of the deposit.

You’ll receive an email receipt for the deposit and if any adjustments are required, a follow-up confirmation email will be sent.

Tips:

• In addition to smoothing out creases, it helps if you put your check on a contrasting background.
• The mobile check deposit will attempt to automatically capture the check photo. If it’s unable to, a manual take photo option will come up after a couple of seconds.
• The Affinity Plus mobile banking app needs permission to access your device’s camera in order for mobile check deposit to work. If this access has been disabled, you can enable it from your device’s Settings app.

Transfer Between Accounts

Transfers between your accounts within the same membership can be scheduled for immediate, future, or recurring. There aren't date restrictions (weekends or federal holidays) for internal transfers.

You'll only be able to select the accounts which allow transfers. For example, you cannot transfer from a WINcentive™ Savings, so it won't be available as a transfer FROM account in the Transfer Money screen.

Transfer to an Outside Account

Transfers to accounts outside of Affinity Plus, external accounts, can be scheduled or can be set up as recurring. External transfers usually process within 2–3 business days, excluding weekends and federal holidays.

Set up an External Account

External accounts are set up from Move Money from either the mobile banking app or the online banking website. This processes uses micro deposits to verify accounts, so it can take 1-2 business days to get an external account set up.

Once the account is set up it will stay in your list of accounts to transfer to.

Use Bill Pay

Bill Pay is a service provided in the mobile banking app and online banking. There isn't a fee to use this service.

How it Works

Payments made through Bill Pay are sent directly to your payee, and done so electronically when possible. Most companies across the U.S. can receive electronic payments, but if the payee CAN’T receive them, a paper check is mailed to the address you provide.

Bill Pay Timing

At the time you're making the payment, you'll select the Deliver By date, and the calendar will automatically display the earliest possible date for this the payee. For electronic payments, this is typically 1 – 3 business days; for check payments, it's typically 3 – 5 business days.

How to Use Bill Pay

If you’re new to the service, you’ll be taken through the enroll process the first time you access Bill Pay.
