How to Connect your External Accounts

Connect your external accounts at other financial institutions so that you can manage all of your finances from your online banking dashboard.
 

With online banking, you can connect your accounts at other financial institutions so you can access all of your accounts in one place. Conducting an external transfer allows you to conveniently transfer money between your Alltru accounts and accounts at other financial institutions. You can also set up recurring automatic transfers from one account to another at any time. There is no limit to the number of external accounts you can add to your online banking dashboard. It’s free to connect your external accounts and easy to set up.

Important – Add your external accounts for two purposes:

  • Transfers: this allows you to transfer funds to and from your Alltru accounts and accounts at other financial institutions.
  • Aggregation: this only allows you to view your external accounts on your online banking dashboard to monitor funds, but they’re NOT available for transfers.
