Depositing/Moving/Wiring Funds

    In branch: $200 will be available by the next business day. Otherwise, most checks are available within 2 business days.

    ACU ATM: The deposits are reviewed daily Monday through Friday. Generally speaking all or part of the funds are available by the end of business day if the deposit was made before 4 PM.

    non-ACU ATM: Funds will be available after 7 days. To have the funds released earlier, call the Help Center at 801-866-9728 to have the check reviewed.

It costs $20 to setup and the name on the destination account must be the same as the origination account.

  • Should register my device?

    Choosing ‘Register Device’ authorizes ACU to store a security certificate on your computer which will speed up the verification process in the future by eliminating the need to use a Secure Access Code on each login. Don’t register the device if you are using a public computer. If you delete the security certificate or “cookie” that we’ve stored on your computer, or if you request logins from a computer or device that has not been registered, you will need to repeat the Secure Access Code process in the future.

  • How is interest calculated on purchases on credit cards?​

    Interest is calculated by multiplying the Daily Periodic Rate, the number of billing days, and the Average Daily Balance. The Daily Periodic Rate is the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) divided by the number of days in the year. The Average Daily Balance is calculated by adding the daily balances of the entire billing cycle and dividing by the number of days in the billing cycle.

  • Why is the APR on the monthly statement be different than what is listed on the card agreement?

    The statement APR can be larger than the card agreement APR because the statement APR includes any transaction and late fees. When one or both of these apply to the credit card, the APR will be calculated to reflect these finance charges.

  • What interest and fees are associated with cash advances?

    All credit cards will be assessed a transaction fee for every cash advance. The transaction fee is the greater of 1.5% of the cash advance or $3.00. In addition to the transaction fee, interest begins accruing the same day the cash advance is taken.

  • What is the late fee if the statement balance is not paid by the due date?

    A late fee of up to $25 is posted posted to your account if minimum payment has not been received by close of day on the 26th of the month. If the 25th falls on a weekend, members are given an extra day.

  • What is the deadline to avoid being charged interest on purchases?

    Members should pay their statement balance by the 25th of the month in order to avoid finance charges. If members fail to completely pay off the statement balance by close of business on the 25th, their account will be assessed interest on the next monthly statement.

    If members pay the statement balance before close of business on the 26th but after the 25th, they would avoid the late fee but will still be assessed interest on the next statement.

  • How much is the minimum payment?

    The minimum payment includes three numbers: the greater of 2% of the balance or $25.00, any amount of prior minimum payments not made, and any amount above the credit limit.

    Most often, the minimum payment will simply be the greater of 2% of the balance or $25.00.

  • When should the minimum payment be made?

    Minimum payments must be made in the first 25 days of the billing cycle. Any first or additional payments made between the 25th and the end of the billing cycle do not eliminate the penalty of late fees. For example, an additional payment made on the 27th does not count towards the next month’s minimum payment. Instead, the minimum payment must be made between the 1st and the 25th.

  • I just paid off my credit card. Why does it say I still owe money?

    The initial balance you saw was the interest calculated at the end of the previous month. Interest also accrues from the beginning of the month to when you pay it off. This is call cutoff interest. It is the interest that will be accrued at the end of the month when a statement balance has been carried over from past months or cash advance interest for the current month. This interest won’t normally appear on the account until the end of the month.

  • Can I payoff my credit card completely in online banking?

    Yes. It takes two transfers. Interest and balance can be viewed in Account details, but when making the necessary transfer, online banking requires the payment to be completed in two separate transactions.

  • Can I pay off cash advances before I pay off purchases?

    The normal order of payment is 1) unpaid purchase interest, 2) unpaid cash advance interest, 3) purchase principle, and 4) cash advance principle. To pay cash advances off first, call our Help Center or visit a branch for assistance.

  • How long do I have to dispute a statement error?

    You have 60 days from the billing date to dispute a statement error.

  • I got a $50 fee on my Go2 credit card. What is that about?

    Go2 cards have an annual fee of $50. It is waived when members have a total monthly direct deposit of $250. You were assessed this fee because within the last 12 months there was at least one month that did not meet the required $250 minimum direct deposit.

  • How can I increase my credit card limit?

    Please submit a credit application via online banking, send a request through Messages wtihin Online Banking, calling the Loan Department at 801-399-9728, or visiting your local branch.
