Most alerts will be sent out to members in real-time (for example: Security alerts, Mobile Deposit alerts).
You are not allowed to make a payment to a loan from an external account. You must first transfer the funds from a linked external account to a share account. Once the funds are available in the share account you can make a loan payment from the share account by navigating to Transfer & Pay. Or you may make a loan payment by clicking on the Pay Now button on the Dashboard or on the Accounts & Loans screen.
Yes, alerts can be sent via mobile SMS, email or push notification to a mobile device. Navigate to Tools, Alerts to set up your alert preferences.

ACH process days and time are from Monday to Friday at 2:30 PM EST. If an ACH was requested on weekends or Holiday, ACH will be processed on your account on the next business day.
You can turn off these alerts by navigating to Tools, Alerts, clicking the gear next to the alert you are wanting to manage. Simply slide to turn the alert off and click save. Since your alerts are customizable based upon the alert type, you will need to manage or turn off each alert that you do not want to receive. *Note, there are some default security alerts that you cannot turn off, merely change the method by which you receive them

Mobile App
iOS and Android users will need to delete the old app from their devise and download a new version of the TEGFCU app. To download the TEGFCU app iOS users need to go to the App Store. Android users need to go to the Google Play Store.

Transfer & Pay
Account to account, account to loan, and member to member transfers are immediate. Setting up an external account for ACH transfers requires the micro deposit verification process and therefore is not immediate. Additionally, transfers set up for an existing external account would still take the 3-5 day window for the transfer to make it to its final destination.

On the Add Account screen select “Send money to another TEG Federal Credit Union member”. You will need to know the recipient’s last name, account type, account number, share or loan id.
