How quickly can I get money after I deposit a check into my checking account?

It depends. We place holds on deposited checks so that we may verify the funds and protect you from potential fraud and money loss. Our general policy is to make funds from check deposits available to you on the first business day after the day of the deposit. Longer holds may apply depending on the type of check and amount you deposit. In some cases, the first $200 of your deposit may be made available on the first business day.

Here are some examples where longer holds may apply:

  • Checks deposited though mobile deposit
  • Checks deposited at a non-affiliated ATM
  • Checks totaling more than $5,000 in any one day
  • Checks deposited within the first 30 days of opening an account
  • Foreign checks drawn on a financial institution located outside the US

We encourage you to hang on to your deposited check for at least 90 days before securely destroying it.

When will my deposit be finalized?

Once we’ve reviewed and approved your deposit, we will send an update of the deposit review to the email address on your account.

Can I pay bills online?

Absolutely. Online Bill Pay is a convenient way for you to schedule, track, organize and pay bills online in one location. To get started, just sign in to Online Banking, click the Bill Pay tab and select Enroll a Payee.

ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT FAQs

What’s the difference between “available” and “pending” balance?

When checking your account, you may find that you have two balances — an "available" balance and a “pending” balance.

Your available balance is the amount you can spend right now.

The pending balance is the amount of money in your account that is still processing. A pending transaction occurs when you use your credit card for a purchase but the funds haven’t quite transferred over yet. This most commonly occurs on transactions where you leave a tip (like restaurants or the barber shop). Gas stations and hotels also use holds that may temporarily limit your access to cash.

To avoid overdraft – use the “available” balance as your actual account balance.

Can I transfer money in my Louisiana FCU account to another bank?

Of course. You can transfer funds to another financial institution using the Bill Pay feature in the Online Banking Dashboard. To get started, just sign in to Online Banking, click the Bill Pay tab and select Enroll a Payee.

How do I set up account alerts?

We offer a wide variety of account alerts to help you stay on top of your balances and transactions. You can receive these alerts through email, mobile text, push notifications, or all three if you’d like.

How do I change the contact information on my account?
