It is a common misconception that if your primary financial institution isn't located locally, then it is difficult to make deposits to your accounts. At Ashland CU, we pride ourselves on being "experts" at remote services, and we are proud to offer several free methods for accepting deposits, no matter where in the country you are.

What is it? Payroll deduction allows you to designate a fixed portion of your paycheck to be sent to any of your ACU accounts, including loans.

Who can take advantage of it? Payroll deduction services are extended to our members who are employed by Ashland Inc, APAC, Arch Coal, LOOP, Marathon, Patriot Coal, Pilot/PTC, or SSA.

How do I start? If you are employed by one of the companies listed above, contact ACU today to start taking advantage of payroll deduction.

Even if you don't work for one of the companies offering payroll deduction services, you can probably still take advantage of direct deposit. Most employers will allow you to specify some or all of your paycheck to be deposited directly to an account of your choice. Once your direct deposit is set up, you can contact us to distribute the funds among your ACU accounts as you wish. To start taking advantage of direct deposit, contact your employer's payroll department.

Note: Your employer will need to know the routing and transit numbers for ACU and may require you to supply a voided check. ACU's routing number is 242175557. You can find your account number at the bottom of your checks between the routing number and check numbers.

Our state-of-the-art Internet Banking website now offers a great way to send funds to your account - Remote Transfers!

With Remote Transfers, you can link your credit union account to an account you hold at another institution. Once the accounts are linked, you can request or schedule transfers between the accounts. As always, it is FREE to transfer money to your ACU accounts.

To start using this great new service, log in to Internet Teller and look under the "Transfers" tab.
