How to Set Up Automatic Transfers

Automatic transfers allow you to set up recurring payments to another Alltru account, an external account, or even another Alltru member.

Accessible through online banking, automatic transfers allow you to set up recurring payments from one account to another account. Because the transfers are automated, after you set them up it requires no additional effort on your end. Choose from a variety of frequency options including daily, weekly, every 2 weeks, monthly, and end of month. This free service is a great way to automate paying off your credit card or budget for your important financial goals without having to think about it.

PRO TIP

Automatic transfers can be used to set some money aside each time your paycheck deposits into your bank account – just automate the transfer and watch your savings grow! If you’re planning on saving for a specific goal, check out our Online Savings Tool.

Keep in mind you can always edit a scheduled transfer series or delete the series in its entirety.

External Transfer (accounts outside of Alltru) limits are:

  • $1,000/day
  • $2,000/week
  • $5,000/month

Note: External limit amounts are subject to credit union approval.
