Transfer funds to and from accounts you hold at other financial institutions. External Transfers make it easy and secure to complete one-time or recurring transfers between your account at Dow Credit Union and an account you hold at another credit union or bank.
Getting started
To get started, you will need the Routing Number, Account Number, and type (checking or savings) of the external account.
In Online Banking, navigate to the ‘Accounts’ section and select ‘Add an external transfer account’.
In the Mobile App, navigate to the ‘Accounts’ section, hit the plus sign to add an account, and select ‘Make external transfers’.
When adding a financial institution for the first time, confirmation is required. Two small deposits (each under $1) will be sent to the account you are setting up. One withdrawal (debit) may be made from the account in the same total amount as the deposits. You will be required to enter the two credit amounts deposited in order to verify access to your account. These transactions generally take 1-3 business days to process.
Once a financial institution is verified, an External Transfer can be completed.
External Transfer FAQs
Up to $5,000 can be transferred in and up to $5,000 can be transferred out per day using External Transfers.
When adding an account from another financial institution, we must confirm ownership of the account. To do that, we will send two small credit deposits to your other institution’s account and one withdrawal (debit) may be made from the account in the same total amount as the deposits. You will be required to enter the two credit amounts deposited in order to verify your account. These transactions generally take 1-3 business days to process.
To verify the small deposits
On the side menu, tap your name at the bottom > Settings > External Transfers.
If you enter the small deposit amounts and they match our records, the account will be enabled for External Transfers.
