A Shared Branch—in your pocket!
Thursday, November 17th, 2011Mobile banking puts the power of your credit union branch right in your pocket. Now Salal CU members can use their smart phones (and soon, their PCs) to transfer money from one account to another—even if the accounts are at different credit unions—or check credit card balances, account balances, even the date and amount due on your next loan payment! Wondering if you have enough in your checking account to cover the purchase you’re about to make with your debit card? No worries! Just text the letters “BAL,” and get your real-time balance right away.*
Sprig™ is a new feature brought to you by the same folks who bring you the Shared Branching network: FSCC and CU Swirl. The services offered by Sprig are comprehensive, easy to use and secure. Members create a “wallet” on Sprig—a list of all credit union accounts and products from all participating CUs. Once your accounts are entered, you can see them all on your Smart Phone, any time, and conduct many of the same financial functions available at a Shared Branch:
- transfers,
- balance inquiries,
- loan payments,
- payment history,
- locate a physical branch near you, etc.
- Soon, you’ll even be able to take a photo of a check and deposit it remotely!
Best of all: all Sprig services are free (though text messaging rates may still apply; check with your cell service carrier).
For more information or to register, Salal members can go to getsprig.com. At this site, you can download the mobile app to an iPhone, iPad or Android phone or get information on text banking. If you’re ready to set up your “wallet,” select “New Registration.” You’ll need to select “S” and then “Salal CU.” Please read the Terms and Conditions carefully to ensure you’re comfortable with all the terms of this service. If you elect to continue, you’ll be asked for your full name, account number and identifying information such as your Social Security number and zip code.
If you have any difficulty with the Sprig program, you can contact FSCC for assistance. Click the “support” button on the getsprig.com website, or you can call or email FSCC at 888.221.9660 or app@sprigmobile.com.
