Along with that conversion, the credit union will be offering you a variety of more modern and secure remote access services including new a Online Banking Platform, Mobile App, Voice Banking system, and Bill Pay. While delivering these enhancements, we will need to interrupt service at various times during the weekend of Friday, April 29th. Below is a timeline of these service interruptions:

  1. Beginning, Friday April 22nd, the current Mobile App will no longer be downloadable from the Apple App store or the Google Play store.
  2. Beginning Wednesday, April 27th, Bill Pay service will be unavailable.
  3. Beginning Friday, April 29th at 5:30pm until Tuesday, May 3rd: All Online Banking and Mobile App services will be unavailable.
  4. Beginning Tuesday, May 3rd: You may begin using our new online services Virtual Branch Next, CheckFree, and download our new Mobiliti app from the Apple App or Google Play stores.

Routing, Member, and Account Numbers: WSFCU’s routing number as well as your member number will remain unchanged.

However, if your member number is less than six digits long, you will need to include preceding zeros to enter a minimum six-digit Logon ID when logging in to Online Banking. For example, if your current member number is 1234, your new Logon ID will be 001234. If your current member number is 123456, you will not need to make any adjustments to your Logon ID. Once you successfully login, you will be prompted to enter a custom Logon ID and Security Code for future Online Banking logins.
