At Arize, we provide several convenient services to make your banking life easier, almost all of which are free for members. Feel free to contact us for more information.
Account to Account (A2A) Setup
We know you have accounts at other financial institutions, and that’s okay with us. We want to help you manage that money, too. Use this feature to set up a relationship with your external bank account, and you can transfer money back and forth between accounts.
To qualify, you need to have an active membership, in good standing, for a minimum of 90 days. Click A2A Authorization Form to get started. When completing this authorization it is important to contact your other financial institution to confirm you have the correct Routing Number and Account Number. The transaction occurs as an ACH/Electronic Funds transfer thus accuracy is important. Incorrect information will cause the transfer to reject. Upon completion of the form drop it off at one of our offices with proof of account ownership at the other financial institution. Proof of account ownership can include a copy of a statement or check.
Get Real-Time Control Over Your Debit or Credit Cards
Be in control when it comes to your card security. The Manage My Cards tool, available in the Arize Mobile App, offers features that can help you worry less, so you can focus on what’s important in your life.
► Lost or stolen cards – Misplacing your card is not a difficult thing to do. It can happen to any of us and at any time. Deactivate your card immediately to help prevent unauthorized transactions.
► Keep abreast of card activities – Get instant notification of charges the moment a transaction hits your card with transaction alerts. You’ll receive a push notification on your mobile device telling you where and how much has been charged.
