ClickSWITCH FAQ

• What is ClickSWITCH?

  ClickSWITCH is an automated account switching solution that makes it easy for you to quickly and securely switch your recurring direct deposits and automatic payments from your previous financial institution account to your new financial institution account. You can also initiate the closing of accounts at your previous financial institution using ClickSWITCH.

• How does ClickSWITCH work?

  ClickSWITCH removes the hassle of contacting all of your billers and depositors to inform them of your new account information. You input your payment and direct deposit information to our secure ClickSWITCH system, submit the switch and we’ll do the rest. You can monitor the progress and switch status in the “Status” column on your Dashboard.

• Is ClickSWITCH secure?

  Yes. ClickSWITCH uses the latest in online encryption protection to gather and store your switch information. Additionally, our facilities adhere to the highest industry standards with regard to the security of your personal information.

• Who do I contact if I need help setting up my switches or if I have questions?

  Please contact Member Services at 215-996-3700

• How do I log in and get started?

  Getting started with ClickSWITCH is easy! Once you’ve been enrolled, you’ll need the SwitchTRACK code provided to you during enrollment, or you can activate your ClickSWITCH account through the Welcome Email you received.

• Where do I get a SwitchTRACK code?

  You will receive a SwitchTRACK code when you enroll at a branch. You can also get your SwitchTRACK code over the phone from member services.

• My SwitchTRACK code isn’t working; what should I do?

  Please contact Member Services at 215-996-3700 for assistance with your SwitchTRACK code.

• What do I need to start my switch?

  You’ll need to gather all of your automatic payment and direct deposit information to get your switches started. A previous statement is a great source of information for the automatic payments and direct deposits tied to an account.

• What is an automatic payment?

  An automatic payment is a regular, ongoing payment that is initiated externally to your bank account, such as a monthly insurance bill, utility payment or automobile loan payment.

• What is a direct deposit?

  A direct deposit is any payment that you receive from an organization directly into your account. These could include payroll direct deposits, government direct deposits (Social Security, Disability, etc.) and dividend direct deposits from investment accounts

• How long will it take for me to submit a switch request?

  Submitting a switch typically takes less than 90 seconds.

• Once a switch has been submitted, when does a company receive the information?

  Switches are processed and sent out within 24 hours of the switch being submitted. 

• How long will it take for my switch to be complete?

  Once a company receives the form, automatic payment and direct deposit switches typically take 5-15 business days. Since the timeframe depends on the company receiving the switch request, it’s always a good idea to review your switch status page for the most current information regarding each switch and to continue monitoring your accounts.

   

  Timing for each switch can vary depending on the type of payment or deposit, the biller or depositor and the method needed to switch the payment or deposit.

• Do I need to call my billers and depositors to confirm the switch?

  We display the status for each automatic payment or direct deposit in the Status column. If a switch shows as

  “Completed” there’s no need to contact the biller or depositor. For switches that are marked as “Mailed” for more than 15 business days, you may want to contact the biller or depositor to confirm the status and see if the company needs additional information.

• Why do I need to enter my billing account number or other specific information?

  Companies require specific information to ensure your identity and to update the account information in their system.

• Which address should I use for my biller and depositor?

  A large number of billers and depositors are already in our system. However, if we do not have a company’s address, please use the address that is indicated on the payment confirmation or statement the company sends you. You can also typically find the address displayed in the Help or Contact Us areas of the company’s website.

• What if I don’t have the information required to submit a switch?

  If a field has a red line on the right, this information is required in order for the switch to be submitted. If you are in the middle of a switch, you can “Save” it. It will save as an “Information Needed” status and you can either log back in later when you have the required information or contact the financial institution for help.

• How do I know if my payment or deposit has been switched?

  The easiest way to check the status of a switch is to look at the “Status” column of your ClickSWITCH account. Switches that have been completed and confirmed by your biller or depositor will display a “Completed” status. Switches that are still in process will display a “Mailed” status.

  For switches that have a mailed status for 15 days or more, we recommend contacting the company to confirm the switch is completed or check your account.

• What if I forget to include an automatic payment or direct deposit when submitting my switches?

  You can easily submit additional switches any time! Simply log in to your ClickSWITCH account and click the correct tab in your Dashboard.

• What if my switch isn’t completed and I miss a payment?

  Monitoring your switch status is an important part of moving your account. It is advisable to keep enough money in your old account to cover each payment until the switch status for that payment has changed to “Completed,” or you’ve confirmed with your billers that your payment account information is updated in their systems.

• When is it safe to move/remove funds from my prior account?

  We recommend keeping enough money in your old account to cover each payment until the switch status is “Completed.” This is especially important for any payments that might be due during the 14 days after you initiate a switch.

• One of my switches has an “Action Needed” status. What does this mean?

  Occasionally, after you have submitted a switch for processing, our research team determines that the company requires you to update your banking information with them online. When this happens, your switch will show an “Action Needed” status. You may also see an “Action Needed” status if the switch is rejected for other reasons. To see the details of the action you need to take, you can click on the Edit icon in the Actions column.

• Will I be notified of any switch updates?

  If you provided an email address during enrollment and have allowed alert emails, you will receive switch updates via email. If not, you will need to log in to ClickSWITCH and view the switch status.

• What is Switch Assist?

  Switch Assist allows you to log in to your previous financial institution’s online banking account. Once you’re logged in, you

  will see your transaction history and will be able to submit switches to your new financial institution account.

• Can I use ClickSWITCH to switch my bill payments?

  Since bill payments are not automatically recurring, you’re not able to use ClickSWITCH for them. You will see a list of your bill payments in the automatic payment tab when you’re logged in to Switch Assist and can download this list to use as reference when creating bill payments at your new financial institution.

• I’m having technical difficulties. Who should I contact?

  Please contact Member Services at 215-996-3700 for assistance.

Credit Sense

• What is SavvyMoney?

  SavvyMoney is a comprehensive Credit Score program offered by your Credit Union, that helps you stay on top of your credit. You get your latest credit score, an understanding of key factors that impact the score, and can see the most up to date offers that can help reduce your interest costs. With this program, you always know where you stand with your credit and how your Credit Union can help save you money.

• Is SavvyMoney Credit Score an actual credit report?

  No. SavvyMoney shows you your credit score, ranging from 300 to 850, and the main factors from their credit reports that impact this score the most. It doesn’t include an actual credit report (a detailed report of credit history). See SavvyMoney’s Credit Score FAQs for more details.

• Is there a fee?

  No. SavvyMoney is entirely free and no credit card information is required to register.

• How often is my credit score updated?

  As long as you are a regular online banking user, your credit score will be updated every month and displayed in your online banking screen. You can also refresh your score as frequently as every day by navigating to the detailed SavvyMoney site from within online banking.

• Can I request a free credit report from SavvyMoney?

  Not at this time. However, we encourage you to pull one copy of your credit report from each bureau [Experian, Equifax and TransUnion] annually at www.annualcreditreport.com or by calling 877-322-8228. By pulling a report from one of the bureaus every four months, you can stay on top of your credit and spot any inaccuracies or suspicious activity quickly. Pulling your own credit reports is considered a soft inquiry and will not affect your credit score.

• How does the SavvyMoney Credit Score differ from other credit scoring offerings?

  SavvyMoney pulls your credit profile from TransUnion, one of the three major credit reporting bureaus, and uses VantageScore 3.0, a credit scoring model developed collaboratively by the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. This model seeks to make score information more uniform between the three bureaus to provide consumers a better picture of their credit health.

• Why do credit scores differ?

  There are three major credit-reporting bureaus—Equifax, Experian and Transunion—and two scoring models—FICO or VantageScore—that determine credit scores. Financial institutions use different bureaus, as well as their own scoring models. Over 200 factors of a credit report may be taken into account when calculating a score and each model may weigh credit factors differently, so no scoring model is completely identical. No matter what credit bureau or credit scoring model is used, consumers do fall into specific credit ranges: Excellent 781–850, Good 661-780, Fair 601-660, Unfavorable 501-600, Bad Below 500.

• Will MSDFCU use SavvyMoney Credit Score to make loan decisions?

  No, Merck Sharp & Dohme FCU uses its own lending criteria for making loan.

• Will SavvyMoney share my credit score with MSDFCU?

  No, your SavvyMoney Credit Score is a free service to help you understand your credit health, how you make improvements in your score and ways you can save money on your loans with MSDFCU.

• How does SavvyMoney Credit Score keep my financial information secure?

  SavvyMoney uses bank level encryption and security measures to keep your data safe and secure. Your personal information is never shared with or sold to a third party.

• If the Credit Union doesn’t use SavvyMoney Credit Score to make loan decisions, why do we offer it?

  SavvyMoney Credit Score can help you manage your credit so when it comes time to borrow for a big-ticket purchase—like buying a home, car or paying for college—you have a clear picture of your credit health and can qualify for the lowest possible interest rate. You’ll also see offers on how you can save money on your new and existing loans with MSDFCU.

• What if the information provided by SavvyMoney Credit Score appears to be wrong or inaccurate?

  The SavvyMoney Credit Score makes its best effort to show you the most relevant information from your credit report, but it is not a full credit report. If you think that some of the information is wrong or inaccurate, we encourage you to take advantage of obtaining free credit reports from www.annualcreditreport.com, and then pursuing with each bureau individually. Each bureau has its own process for correcting inaccurate information. The Federal Trade Commission website step-by-step instructions on how to contact the bureaus and correct errors.

• There is a section on the site that features both MSDFCU product offers and financial education articles. Why am I seeing this?

  Based on your SavvyMoney Credit Score information, you may receive MSDFCU offers on products that may be of interest to you. In most cases, these offers may have lower interest rates than the products you already have. The educational articles, written by Jean Chatzky and the SavvyMoney team, are designed to provide helpful tips on how you can manage credit and debt wisely.

• Will accessing SavvyMoney Credit Score ‘ping’ my credit and potentially lower my credit score?

  No. Checking SavvyMoney Credit Score is a “soft inquiry”, which does not affect your credit score. Lenders use ‘hard inquiries’ to make decisions about your credit worthiness when you apply for loans.

• Can I get a copy of my credit report from SavvyMoney too?

  Not at this time. SavvyMoney may offer credit reports in the near future.

• Does SavvyMoney offer credit report monitoring as well?

  Yes. SavvyMoney will monitor and send email alerts when there’s been a change to your credit profile.

  If you have a problem with a transfer that has been processed, you can send us a transfer inquiry from the Transfer Detail page. Our member service reps will attempt to resolve the problem on your behalf.

• What is a repeating transfer?

  The automatic transfer of a specified amount of money from one account to another based on a schedule that you set up. For example, you may want to set up a repeating transfer schedule to automatically transfer $500 from your money market account to a checking account at the end of each month.
  
  You need to make three decisions that determine the frequency and duration of the transfers:

  • When do you want to schedule the first transfer?
  • How often do you want to transfer the money?
  • When do you want to stop scheduling the transfers?
  • When you set up a transfer schedule, the transfers are automatically scheduled for the duration you choose or until you cancel the repeating transfer.

• Why is my reminder removed when I schedule a repeating transfer?

  When you schedule a repeating transfer for the same To and From accounts as an existing reminder you've set up, the reminder is removed. If email notification options are available when you set up the repeating transfer, you can select those options to receive e-mail about your transfer.
