FAQ: Checking > Select Checking

• Am I required to maintain a minimum balance on my Select Checking Account?

  You are not required to maintain a minimum balance in your Select Checking account; however, you will earn dividends on balances of $1,000 or more. If your balance falls below that, you will still enjoy all the other benefits of Select Checking.

• Can I transfer funds between Wright-Patt Credit Union and other financial institutions?

  You may arrange to have funds sent from another financial institution to your personal account at Wright-Patt, or we can send funds to your account at another financial institution. Business accounts are not eligible for this type of transaction.

  Exclusions include:

  • Credit Card Payments (contact the credit card company directly to arrange the transaction)
  • Mortgage Payments (contact Mortgage company to arrange the transaction)
  • Utility Payments (contact Utility company to arrange the transaction)

  To set up a transfer, the following is required:

  • Your name must be on both the receiving and sending accounts
  • You must have the exact account number in ACH format for the other financial institution.
  • You must have the exact Routing number for the other financial institution (not the same as a wire number)
  • You must specify the type of account at the other financial institution: savings, checking, or loan

  Transfers normally take 2 business days.
