CROSS ACCOUNT TRANSFERS
Finally, you can transfer money to your spouse, your son or daughter, or any other account on which you are a joint owner! EFCU members can now make transfers between two separate main share accounts on PowerLine (telephone banking) and e-Branch (internet banking). Get an application!
  • Transfers can take place over PowerLine and e-Branch.
  • All requests for authorization to make Cross Account Transfers will require a signed agreement by all owners of the account from which funds are being transferred. Applications may be obtained from an CSR in a branch or by calling the Member Service Center at 800-223-2177, or by clicking here. Fax signatures will not be accepted--you must come in to the branch or mail the application back.
  • Cross Account Transfers are limited to transfers from savings, checking, or a line of credit to another savings, checking or loan at EFCU.
  • If there is an Overdraft Line of Credit on a joint account, both the primary and joint owners of the account must be signed on the Line of Credit loan documents as well as on the Cross Accounts Transfer agreement.
  • The transfers do count as Reg. D transactions and as a result count toward the maximum six transfers per month.


Direct Payment or Self-Directed Automatic Bill Payment
With Direct Payment, you can have various payments debited from your account automatically. For those institutions or companies that allow you to make electronic payments, you must initiate the process with them and give the company approval to take funds out of your account each month for that payment. Click Here for more information.

If you only want to make payments to other EFCU accounts or loans that you carry, please contact our Call Center at 301-670-1300 or 800-223-2177.

Point-of-Sale
STAR Point-of-Sale (POS) enables members to make PIN-based, secure, real-time purchases directly from their checking accounts without writing checks. STAR POS also eliminates the need to carry excess cash and even has a "cash back" feature. STAR POS is accepted among grocers, service stations, fast food restaurants, and other retailers using your eFCU ATM e-Cash Card or e-Check Debit Card.


Payment Protection
Credit Life and Credit Disability Insurance is available to members with EFCU loans. It may pay a benefit to help pay off or reduce the debt in the event of death of the insured, or may provide a monthly benefit to help pay off or reduce the monthly payments in the case of disability. The insurance protects your financial stability and credit rating and is available to members without the hassle of a medical examination.
