Simple to set up on any supported device such as iPhone, Android and Microsoft phones.
Once your FSCU card has been added, you will be directed to verify the card and your identity by calling 1-844-484-0049. You will be asked a series of questions that will help VISA® determine your identity and verify your card.

ACH Debit/Credit Changes
Phase 2 of Same Day ACH was implemented on Friday, September 15, 2017. What is Same Day ACH and what does it mean to you as a member of Family Savings Credit Union?
Same Day ACH is one step in the United States’ faster payments initiative. This movement is pushing payments to faster processing and availability of funds transfers. Phase 1 was implemented last year and introduced same-day credits. Phase 2 of Same Day ACH introduces the ability for payments (debits) to be deducted (withdrawn) from your account as early as the same day they were initiated. This does not mean that every payment you initiate will be deducted on the same day but it does mean that all payments are eligible to be processed same day unless you, the member, indicate a specific authorization date. Payments currently set up on an automatic payment schedule should not be affected by Same Day ACH. However, the responsibility for ensuring the appropriate date is used belongs to the company initiating the payment, not to Family Savings Credit Union.
What it does mean is that members need to maintain sufficient funds in your account at all times for any payments you authorize,to include authorizations provided over the phone or internet. You should also understand when authorizing new payments for withdrawal whether or not the merchant/company will utilize the same-day capability to process the payment.This is controlled by you, the member. When providing authorization for payments, you provide a date when it can be withdrawn. The payment should not be deducted from your account before the date you provided. If this occurs,please contact Family Savings Credit Union @ 256-543-9530 for assistance.
