SIMPLIFY PAYMENTS WITH AUTOMATED WITHDRAWALS

Want a faster, easier way to pay recurring expenses such as gym memberships or your monthly rent – and avoid the hassles of missed or late payments? Automate them with Sunwards Bill Pay service in online or mobile banking

When you set up automated account withdrawals, you authorize Sunward to debit your savings or checking account for the amount you specify, and to send that money electronically to your payee according to your schedule. You can set recurring or one-time payments. You can also set up automatic withdrawals directly with your payees. This may be helpful if a bill's amount and/or due date varies each month, and you know you will have adequate funds to cover the amount. Get started by logging in to online or mobile banking and navigating to Pay Bills.

IMPORTANT DIRECT DEPOSIT INFORMATION FOR PREVIOUS ANIMAS CREDIT UNION MEMBERS

If you are using the old Animas Credit Union routing number for your Sunward direct deposits, you will need to re-establish your direct deposit(s) with the Sunward routing number, 307083911, to take advantage of instant direct deposit.

IMPORTANT: When updating your direct deposit information, some automatic distributions that use the old Animas routing number may fail in our system, even if they have been working until now. If you have set up automatic payments or distributions (such as for an IRA) using the old Animas routing number, please update the sender with Sunward's routing number as soon as possible. Contact us if you have questions.
