Frequently Asked Questions

You can use the service to transfer to and from your Achieva accounts to your accounts at other financial institutions.

The service transfers money from one of your accounts to another of your accounts at any financial institution in the U.S. All transfers are processed via the Federal Reserve’s Automated Clearing House (ACH) network. This network is used by financial institutions to process checks and electronic transactions.

There are no fees for using the service. If a transaction you initiated fails because you don’t have sufficient funds in your account, or you initiate a transfer on a closed account, etc. there is a $5 failed transaction fee.

You may use your Achieva Checking and Savings accounts to set up incoming and outgoing transfers to savings and checking accounts at other institutions.

You can set up any account with the service if you are able to prove ownership or control over the account.

Click Add Account (at another bank) under the Classic Transfer option. Review the ACH Transfer Policy and select that you agree and click Continue. Enter the account information (account type, routing number & account number) of the external account. Two (2) trial deposit transactions will be sent to the new external account (may take up to three business days), once the transactions post log back into Online Banking to confirm the deposit amounts. Once the account is confirmed you can initiate your first transfer.

The trial deposit verification process ensures that the rightful owner is setting up the account with the service. It also ensures that the accounts given are valid.

Account setup and confirmation is a one-time process for each account you set up with the service.

Yes, you may schedule a transfer for a future date.

Yes, you can schedule a recurring transfer by selecting the frequency when setting up the transfer.

No. Please use Online Banking to complete such transactions.

International money transfers are not available with the Account to Account service.

Your funds transfer request enters into the ACH system on the same business day as you submitted the transfer, provided you make your transfer request before the cutoff time. Otherwise, the request will be sent the next business day.

Transfers are posted to your account the next business day; however, depending on the financial institution, it may take an additional business day for the transaction to be reflected in your account balance. Once funds are received from your source account, the process is repeated to send the money to the destination account. The process may take three to five business days in order to complete delivery of the funds.

You can check the status of your request by clicking the Transfer Widget > History tab in online banking.

It usually takes three business days, but may take as long as five business days. The specifics will depend, in part, on the time of day you initiated the transfer, your previous transfer history with the service, the amount of the transfer, and how quickly your institution updates your account after they receive the funds. Full details regarding your funds transfer requests are viewable on the Scheduled transfer tab.

A transfer funds request will be rejected if it cannot successfully be posted to your account. The most common reasons for failed or returned transfers are: • Lack of sufficient funds in the source account, • Lock placed by a financial institution on one of the accounts, (account number or routing number may have changed since registration, account may be frozen by the institution, account may have reached allowed limits of number of such transactions, etc.)

A wire transfer is an electronic payment service for transferring funds from one credit union or bank account to another, through the Federal Reserve Wire Network.

Achieva’s routing number is 263182312.

Sign into Online Banking and select the Wire Transfer Request (for domestic) or the International Wire Transfer Request form under the Quick Links on the Dashboard. Enter your first and last name and email address, click Begin Signing. Complete all the required fields and attach a copy of your driver’s license. Click Finish & your request will be sent to our Member Service Center, a representative from Achieva will contact you to verify all information and process the Wire Transfer.

The International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is the international standard for identifying international bank accounts across national borders.

The IBAN is comprised of a maximum of 27 alphanumeric characters within Europe and a maximum of 34 outside of Europe (German IBAN: 22 characters). The United States does not participate in IBAN. Therefore, Achieva does not have an IBAN number.

When sending wire transfers to countries that have IBAN numbers, we recommend including those numbers in your wire transfer documentation. According to the European Directive, only the account-keeping bank may calculate the IBAN / check digits. To obtain the IBAN numbers of another bank, please visit that banks website or contact them directly to obtain that information.

The United States does not currently participate in IBAN. Therefore, Achieva does not have an IBAN number.

The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) Code is a unique identification code that may be required by some banks, broker-dealers and investment managers for the completion of international wire transfers.

No, Achieva does not accept international wires directly. The sending foreign institution will need to send the wire through a correspondent US bank before Achieva receives the wire. The foreign institution will have the correspondent bank information.

An overdraft occurs when a member submits an item for payment (ACH, check, or debit card transaction), and the funds are not available. Using a different linked account from the member, we may transfer the funds to cover the item. The member must be previously enrolled in overdraft protection.

Courtesy Pay is discretionary overdraft privilege provided by Achieva to prevent items such as ACH, share drafts, and recurring debit card transactions from being returned or declined in the event of insufficient funds. It happens when linked accounts also have insignificant funds, but Achieva covers the transaction. It is designed to help members rather than returning the items unpaid; however, it is not a guaranteed service. When Achieva pays these items, a fee will be charged for each item, and the account will be taken into a negative balance. Please refer to our schedule of fees for amounts.

Courtesy Pay Covers:

  • ACH (online Bill Payment)
  • Checks
  • Recurring Debit Card Transactions (i.e., gym memberships, Netflix, HULU, Prime membership, etc.)

Courtesy Pay may also cover:
  • One-time signature-based debit card transactions and ATM Withdrawals (member opt-in required)

A non-sufficient funds designation occurs when there are insufficient funds in the account and:

  1. No overdraft protection is set up
  2. Linked accounts have insignificant funds
  3. Courtesy pay is not approved

Achieva charges for each item, and the account will be taken into a negative balance. Please refer to our schedule of fees for amounts.
