First time users
First time users: Please enter your Account Number as it appears on your statement, and use the last four digits of your Social Security Number in the PASSWORD field. After you've logged in, you'll be prompted to select a secret PASSWORD of your choice.
Reset passwords. Don’t let a forgotten password lock you out of your account. Click the “Forgotten Password” link in the Online Banking Login Box to reset it yourself. You’ll be asked to enter your account number and answer your security question. From there, you can reset your password. (If you’re unable to answer your security question, contact us during business hours, and we’ll be glad to help you.)
Test your browser. While Online Banking works with a wide range of browsers, there are some settings and add-ons required for optimal performance. If you’re having difficulty with Online Banking, click the trouble-shooting “Test your browser.” You’ll receive information about your specific browsers and tips to help improve your online banking experience.
E-mail notifications. In addition to receiving automated e-mails when your balance climbs above or falls below a certain level, you can receive “heads-up” notifications to tell you:
- your account balance at regular intervals
- when a specific check has cleared
- personal date-driven reminders.
To set up automated e-mail notifications, log in to Online Banking and click “Account Access” and “Notifications.”
With Internet access, you can easily and securely manage your credit union accounts 24 hours a day from any computer. Online Banking allows you to:
- monitor account activity without waiting for monthly statements (a plus in detecting and stopping potential account fraud, avoiding overdrafts, and tracking spending)
- transfer money between your credit union accounts
- transfer money between your credit union accounts and those at 20,000 financial institutions nationwide
- view account history (deposits, cleared checks, etc.)

- pay credit union loans
- request withdrawal checks to be mailed to you
- export account history into programs like Microsoft Money and Quicken, and more!
Text message notifications. Give us your cell phone’s messaging address when you complete the Notifications sign-up form within Online Banking. If you don’t know your phone’s messaging address (your phone number @ your carrier’s unique suffix), you can find out from your cell phone carrier. Also, be sure to ask your carrier if you’ll incur any additional charges for text notifications sent to your cell phone.

First-time users should enter the last four numbers of the Social Security Number on their account as the PIN. After that, you'll be prompted to enter a new secret PIN. Your secret PIN must be between four and 16 digits. Your PIN also will work with our automated Telephone Banking system.
Online Bill Payer
Pay all your bills in minutes from a safe, secure, easy-to-use Web site that you access through Online Banking. Security experts recommend electronic services like Online Bill Payer to reduce your "paper trail," cutting your risk of identity theft. Use it to make one-time or recurring payments and to verify payments that you've made.
You're always in control with Online Bill Payer. By selecting a payee from your personal Bill Payer screen, you can enter an amount to pay and the due date of your bill (you also can set up payments to be made automatically on the date you choose). The funds are deducted from your checking account. (Online Bill Payer cannot be used with a savings account.) Allow up to five days for payments to reach payees (the same as you would if you were writing a paper check).

To sign up for bill payment, log in to online banking at the box on the right of the screen. Click "Money Manager," "Bill Payer," and "Click here to sign up."
Funds Transfer & Popmoney (formerly, Online External Transfers)
Funds Transfer
Transfer funds between your accounts at School Employees Credit Union and those at financial institutions across the country with Funds Transfer. It's fast, available around the clock and, unlike wire transfers, it's FREE!*
Funds Transfer allows you to set up one-time, recurring, or future transfers between any external accounts on which your name is listed and your credit union accounts. Transfers can be made from any Internet connection and take three to four business days.
To learn more Funds Transfer (including troubleshooting tips), please visit FAQs or try our Funds Transfer demonstration now by returning to the Home Page and clicking the Demo link.
To sign up, you must be the primary account holder at School Employees Credit Union. Log in to online banking at the box on the right of the screen; click "Money Manager," and "Funds Transfer & Popmoney."
* Daily and 30-day limits apply to amounts transferred. Some limits also apply to the frequency of withdrawals from savings accounts.
Popmoney ("Pay Other People")
If you use wire transfers to send cash to your college student or to give money as a gift, you’ll want to take advantage of the Funds Transfer feature, "Pay Other People."
“Pay Other People” (Popmoney for short) lets you send money online to anyone in the United States who has a valid e-mail address or mobile phone number. You don’t need to know the recipient’s financial account number or even where he or she banks. Best of all, unlike wire transfers or money orders, it’s FREE when you choose standard delivery.
Popmoney is a great alternative to PayPal™ for shopping and makes it easy to contribute money to a charity drive, pay a roommate for your share of household expenses, or make just about any one-time or recurring payment to an individual. It’s also the perfect solution for transferring money to accounts on which you’re not the primary accountholder.
When you use Popmoney, recipients receive an e-mail or text message with instructions that let them choose where they’d like to have the money deposited. If they’ve already used Popmoney and activated its Automatic Deposit feature, they’ll receive the funds automatically in as little as one to three business days. (If this is the first time, the recipient will need to provide his or her bank account information on the secure Popmoney website, then he or she will receive your deposit within three business days.)
Popmoney ensures absolute privacy. Recipients never see your bank account number and you never see theirs. For security reasons, senders and recipients enter a verification code with each transaction, and limits apply to amounts transferred.
Once you’ve registered to send money through Popmoney, you can receive Popmoney payments, too.
To register, go to Online Banking’s Money Manager, click Funds Transfer & Popmoney, and select the “Pay Other People” feature.

Get instant credit for mailed check deposits (up to a combined total of $1,500*) before they reach us via U.S. Mail with Deposit Online. It’s perfect for members who don’t have easy access to deposit-accepting ATMs.
Once you’re enrolled in Deposit Online,** you can simply log in from any Internet connection, select “Money Manager” and “Deposit Online,” and provide a few details about the check(s) you’re depositing. Then, seal them inside one of our green Deposit Online envelopes, write your “Session Number” on the outside, and drop the envelope in the mail so it reaches us within 10 days. The money is available immediately in your School Employees Credit Union checking or savings account.
To apply for the service, please call us weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at 1-888-628-4010. You’re also welcome to e-mail us at accounts@secuwa.org. To learn more (including troubleshooting tips), please visit FAQs.
*Your available limit automatically updates after we receive your mailed deposit at our offices.
**Eligibility is based on your personal credit history and consent to our Deposit Online Terms and Conditions. Some restrictions apply, including: 1) We cannot accept cash, money orders, or foreign drafts via Deposit Online; 2) checks must be sent via U.S. Mail in our green Deposit Online envelopes to ensure proper credit; and 3) we cannot accept Deposit Online checks via ATM or in our gold bank-by-mail envelopes. Failure to abide by the Deposit Online Terms & Conditions may result in cancellation of the service.
You may be able to defer your usual monthly loan payment without affecting your credit rating.
Our unique Skip-a-Payment program allows you to skip two payments in any 12-month period (as long as the skips are at least 90 days apart). The missed payment is simply added to the end of your loan term, for example, making a 60-month loan a 61-month loan.
Each skip requires a $20 processing fee, which can be deducted from any of your credit union accounts. Skip-a-Payment is available only on select loans for members whose accounts are in good standing.
