2. What's an external account verification? How does it work?
As security enhancements continue to be an ongoing focus and priority for TLCCU, we require verification procedures for Online and Mobile Banking external transfer account setups. (Formally called Financial to Financial Transfers)
When a new financial institution is set up, our system will generate two deposits for random amounts less than $1.00 at your other Financial Institution.
After you receive the deposits, you must verify these transaction amounts in Online or Mobile Banking before scheduling any transfers. This ensures that the correct information about the external account was correctly entered, and that your transfers to or from that institution with TLC will be successful.
