Direct Deposit

It’s a fast, safe and convenient way to receive your paycheck, eliminating waiting periods for paper checks, and the need to visit a bank in-person to deposit your check.

Check with your employer to see if they offer direct deposit, to eliminate your bi-weekly trip to the bank and make your money accessible instantly on payday.

Mobile Check Deposit

If direct deposit isn’t an option with your employer, MCCU’s mobile banking app allows you to easily deposit paper checks right from your phone. Simply take a picture of the check you want to deposit and upload it directly to the app with no additional fees. 

At MCCU you can automate your deposits to go into specific accounts for saving or spending, taking away the need to manually transfer money between your accounts.

Bill Pay & Re-occurring Payments

Your bills are probably the last thing you want to think about. Let alone, take the time to log in to every different website to pay your bill. With the convenience of bill pay and re-occurring payments, you can automate the bill-paying process by setting-up automatic payments. 

Text Alerts

Take the stress out of wondering whether you have enough money in your account for spending, savings, or bills, with text alerts. Stay on top of your account balance and transactions by receiving text notifications. With MCCU’s text banking, there are a number of alert preferences you can select from.

Zelle^®

Enjoy the ease of sending funds to family, friends and others you trust through Zelle^®. A convenient way to send money right from your mobile banking app or online banking account.
