Setting Up Mobile Banking
Mobile banking is a simple, secure and easy way to track your accounts with the convenience of a smartphone. All you need is an online banking account!
If you do not already have our online banking service, simply stop in or contact the credit union at 342-5300. Then you can download our free COMPASS MOBILE APP by searching for "Compass Federal Credit Union" or "Compass FCU" in the Google Play Store (for Androids) and the iPhone App Store.
In addition to mobile banking, our free Compass Mobile App offers Remote Deposit Capture, or RDC, which allows you to take a snapshot of your check and deposit it into a Compass account.

If you have not been configured by the credit union to use Remote Deposit, you will see an error alerting you to contact us. - Q. How do I Deposit a check?
A. Once configured, clicking on Deposit will enable you to either make a deposit or review pending or past deposits.

Only checking the Remote Deposit box on the reverse side of your check is not acceptable. You will then select the suffix where the deposit is going and enter the dollar amount. Select Check front and follow the prompts to take a picture of the front of the check. If the image looks good, you will click Use to continue to take a picture of the back. If the image does not look good, you can choose to Retake the picture. Once the front and back images have been taken, you will be able to see the images, verify the suffix, and the amount and read the disclaimer. If everything is correct, select Deposit to submit. You will be notified by email that your check has been submitted. If there is a hold on the check, you will be notified when the hold is released. Once checks are received by Compass, they will be reviewed for acceptance or rejection at 9:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday (excluding Holidays); taking into consideration any holds that apply. You will see the deposit in your account history that says RDC CK# and posts as Teller FTRD. You may view an image of the check from your history. - Q. Are there fees associated with the service?
