Is there a RIGHT way and a WRONG way to sign the checks I write?
When you are signing a check you've written, please be aware that you should avoid letting your signature interfere with the MICR line. The MICR line is the series of numbers printed at the bottom of your check. The numbers are printed in magnetic ink and they represent the credit union's routing number, your account number, and the number of the check you are writing. When a check is being processed it is scanned by a MICR Reader, and if your pen has strayed into that MICR number when you signed your name the pen marks interfere with the proper scanning of the check. Keeping your signature away from the MICR line helps you and the credit union!
What do I need to know about setting up automatic loan payments?
When you sign the form to authorize payment transfers to your loan, the transfers are set up in the system to happen on the day(s) you request and those payments happen automatically. The system will not check to see if a payment has already been made to the loan during the month.
So, if you decide to make your loan payment in person or via online banking transfer, you need to be aware that the scheduled automatic payment is still going to come out of your account also.
If you need to make a change to your scheduled automatic payment transfer please contact 1st CCU to submit a revised authorization form.
