Electronic Transfer via Automated Clearing House (ACH)

This service offers fixed-amount electronic transfers recurring on the same date each month as well as one-time transfers to your SECU Savings or Checking account(s) from your account at another ACH-participating institution. Electronic transfer is an Automated Clearing House (ACH) transaction routed like a direct deposit transaction. It is not a wire transfer.

Electronic transfers can take up to five business days and are subject to SECU processing times.

Please Note: All transactions and signatures are subject to verification. When completing the form, please note that your financial institution’s routing number is the 9-digit number found on the bottom left of checks.
