Free Checking

With­in Online Bank­ing, go to the Dash­board. On the right-hand side, halfway down, you’ll see a Quick Links sec­tion. You’ll find sep­a­rate links to acti­vate a deb­it card or a cred­it card.

You’ll find your check­ing account num­ber on the bot­tom of your checks. If you don’t have your checks with you, you can find it in Online Bank­ing. From the Online Bank­ing Dash­board, click on your check­ing account. This opens a sep­a­rate pan­el that shows your recent trans­ac­tion his­to­ry.  At the top of the list of trans­ac­tions, you will see a link that says Account Details. Click on this link, and the dis­played infor­ma­tion will change. The account num­ber for a check­ing account is a four­teen-dig­it num­ber, list­ed as the “MICR Account Number”.

There are a few steps to take to help make sure your Mobile Deposit goes through.

• Make sure to endorse the check on the back (include your name, mem­ber num­ber, and “For mobile deposit only to SF Fire Cred­it Union”)
• Make sure you have suf­fi­cient light­ing where you are tak­ing the picture
• Make sure the sig­na­ture on the front of the check does not obscure the account details
• Make sure the check fits with­in the frame on the screen when tak­ing the photo
• Once you receive a Mobile Deposit #, please record on the back of the check and retain the check for two weeks.

If you get an error when try­ing to launch the cam­era, check the Pri­va­cy set­tings for the cam­era on your device. You may need to give the SF Fire CU Mobile App per­mis­sion to access the camera.
