Well, for one thing... It's FREE to Prime Checking Account Holders. It will offer you the convenience and peace of mind that you are in charge of your bill payments. You can determine when you want the payment sent (when direct deposit is posted or even on pay day) and keep your checking balance healthy. Duke University Federal Credit Union's i-Access service allows you to check your account balance and transfer funds to checking (if necessary) at your convenience.

Automatic electronic payment for your utilities and similar bills are really convenient - but are you in charge? These merchants tell you when to deduct the payment from your check register. With Bill Pay you decide when you want these payments made. Additionally, if for any reason you need to stop automatic payment, simply click a button on your Bill Pay screen (available  24 hours) rather than having to call the merchant, explain what is needed and hoping the request took effect.

Add Payee lets you add payees that aren't on the master payee list.
On the Payees tab, click Add Payee.

You use a Debit Card much like you use a Credit Card, but the money is coming directly from your Checking Account. The amount of your purchase must be available in your Checking Account at the time the purchase is made. It also functions as an ATM card.

You can withdraw up to $500 per day, provided the funds are available in your account.

Q. Is there a fee to use my Debit Card for purchases? 
A. There is no fee to use the Debit Card to make a purchase.  It is the fast and simple way of paying right from your Checking Account.

Q. How do I keep track of my Debit Card purchases? 
A. You receive a receipt from the merchant every time you use your card for a purchase. Record the amount of the purchase in your check register. Even if you lose your receipt, all purchases are detailed on your monthly Checking Account statement or you can view your transaction history online with i-Access.

Q. How do I return merchandise purchased with my Debit Card? 
A. Returns are made the same way you do with a Credit Card purchase. It is best to save both your cash register receipt and the transaction receipt until you are certain you are satisfied with your purchase. If you return an item, the purchase price will be credited to your Checking Account. Just like a Debit Card purchase, it may take a few days for the amount to be credited.

Q. Does overdraft protection on my Checking Account work with purchases I make with my Debit Card? 
A. Yes. If the funds are not available in your Checking Account at the time of purchase, but you have overdraft protection through a DUFCU savings account or line of credit, the transaction will be processed. Courtesy Pay, however, will not work.

Q. What if a purchase posts to my Checking Account that I did not authorize? 
A. If your DUFCU Debit Card has been lost, stolen, or you suspect unauthorized use, have peace of mind knowing you will not be responsible for unauthorized purchases. Report it to DUFCU immediately by calling (919) 684-6704 or 866 MY DUFCU. After hours, call (888) 297-3416. To protect your account from unauthorized use, memorize your PIN.

Many family/friends prefer an electronic solution such as Person to Person (P2P) payment.  P2P is a is an option to get money to family or friends quickly and easily.   

Some of the commonly used P2P Services are Cash App, Venmo, and Zelle®   Using one of these  apps is a simple way to transfer funds between you and your family or friends quickly and easily. 

In addition to using one of these apps, alternate options for transferring money are (1) adding your family/friend to your billpay service or (2) sending a wire (if you are out of the country).  An incoming wire transfer option is available for a $20 incoming wire fee.    

Please see below for general steps for completing a transfer using a payment app*.  

*IMPORTANT:  Because P2P transactions are completed by a third party, the Credit Union does not have access to any information about these transactions even if they involve Credit Union accounts.  In addition, P2P payment service providers are only responsible for transferring the funds.  Once funds have been sent as authorized and received, they are no longer responsible for the transaction.  If you paid for something but didn't receive it or received damaged goods, you are usually on your own when it comes to a dispute.  Before using a P2P service, research the provider's customer support policies so you know what to expect.  While these transactions are very convenient, you should view them as cash payments that cannot be retrieved.  

If you use a payment app to send money from your Duke Credit Union account:

1. Ask your family/friend to enroll in the App before sending your first payment*. It may take between one and three business days for them to receive that initial payment in their Credit Union/Bank account. If your family/friend already has the mobile banking app, they will need to enter their Duke Credit Union or bank account information to start receiving money.  If they do not have the selected app they may simply download the app from the App Store or Google Play. 
2. Enroll yourself in the same App. If you already have the feature in your mobile banking app, you won’t need to download anything to start sending money.  If you do not have the same service in your mobile banking app (Duke Credit Union does not have a payment service within our App or online banking) you may simply download the app from the App Store or Google Play.  Once you and your family/friend are both enrolled using the same App, future payments will go directly into their appointed account – no extra steps needed.
3. Transfer funds.  Look up your family/friend by their preferred email address or mobile phone number.  Select them as the recipient.  (Payment transfers are instantly withdrawn and cannot be reversed- be sure you know who you are sending money to.  Your Credit Union is not responsible for any funds transferred.  Proceed with caution.)
4. Choose the Amount. Enter the amount you want to send. Your family/friend will get a notification explaining how to complete the payment, simply and quickly.

Q: What are the minimum and maximum loads allowed on the card?
A: $100-minimum   $5,000-maximum

Q: What makes this card different from other reloadable prepaid cards?
A: This prepaid card is instant issue, which means it is available immediately for your member to take with them upon purchase. This card also comes with Visa travel enhancements, which are explained in the Visa TravelMoney benefits insert you provide to your member upon purchase.

Q: Since the maximum balance on the card is $5,000, what should the Credit Union do if a member wants to do a reload of $5,000?
A:  Either have the member log on to the CU Money website to view their current balance, or the Credit Union can always contact the LSC Prepaid Customer Service department. Simply subtract the current balance from $5,000 and load the difference.                  

Q: Is there a limit on how many times the card can be loaded?
A: There is no limit to how many times the card can be loaded. However, there is a $2.00 fee that will automatically be deducted from the cardholder’s balance at the time that the funds are added to the card.

Q: How can the cardholder add funds to their card?
A: There are 2 ways to add funds to a card:
1)       Through the Credit Union- the CU would log into Prepaid Access and do a reload under the “Reload a Card”  option. The request would be pending until the next transmission comes and adds the funds to the card.
2)       Online- the cardholder would go to www.cumoney.com and register their card. Once that is completed, they can log in and add funds. Please note that there is a three business day hold on all online loads.

Q: How does the member activate their card?
A: The card can be activated after 24 hours from the time it is issued. The cardholder will need to call the customer care line at 1-877-850-9650. Once they enter in their 16-digit card number, it will prompt them to enter in their temporary PIN or the last four digits of their phone number on file. Then they will need to change their PIN to a permanent 4 digit number. This must be different than the phone number on file. Once this is completed, the card is activated immediately.

Q: How many bad PIN tries is the member allowed?
A: The cardholder gets three tries. After the third attempt, the system will put a temporary block on the card. The card will automatically reset itself with the temporary PIN or the last four digits of the phone number file after midnight. Once this happens, the cardholder can call the customer care number to change their PIN. If they need to reset their PIN before then, the Credit Union can call the LSC Prepaid Customer Service Department where the PIN can be reset to the phone number on file as well.

Q: When does this card expire?
A: Every two years.

Q: Does it automatically reissue?
A: No, the cardholder will need to come into the Credit Union to get a replacement card.
