This is how the Install App dialog will look like once your App goes live.
That’s when little technological time-savers become invaluable. While everyone at the Credit Union loves interacting with our members, we also recognize you don’t always have time to swing by your nearest branch or deposit-taking ATM whenever you need to deposit a check.
Fortunately, that task has never been easier, thanks to our convenient mobile deposit feature which allows you to make a deposit quickly and easily with your smartphone.
1. Log into our app* and select “Mobile Deposit” in the left-hand menu.
2. Select the account in which you’d like to deposit your check, enter the amount and then click “Capture Image.“
3. Snap a picture of the front and back of the check. Make sure to sign the back of your check and write the phrase “For mobile deposit only at AAFCU.”
4. Click “Submit Deposit” and you’re done!
The Credit Union app offers a number of convenient services beyond mobile deposit, including bill pay, credit score monitoring, personal financial management tools and more! You’ll need to be enrolled in online banking in order to use the app. Take a second and explore our other mobile services as well.

Broader connectivity can come with a price
Consumers love being connected while enjoying seamless integration. Smart homes have led to smart neighborhoods — and it’s even extending beyond those borders.

Boost your credit score
Your credit score — a three-digit number between 300 and 850, with 650+ generally considered good — offers landlords and lenders a snapshot of your overall credit history and financial health.

App safely
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has found mobile app developers are not always straightforward about what their products do. According to the FTC, 59% of apps collect and share information, though only 11% tell users they do and 84% of apps allow in-app purchases, opening people up to unexpected charges.

Mind the GAP
In a world where a vehicle’s value drops by 20 to 30% during the first 12 months of ownership, protecting yourself with Guaranteed Auto Protection or “GAP” insurance may be a smart purchase as you prepare to drive off the car lot.

Tax considerations
One thing each of-age American has in common is taxes. As April 15 approaches, one of the easiest things you can do is set aside a folder for paperwork and forms that will be coming in - either electronically or through the mail - over the next few months.
