FAQs

A bank is a for-profit organization that reports to shareholders. Banks hold deposits, make loans and paychecks, and provide other related services for the public. They collect funds from three sources: demand, savings, and time deposits; short-term borrowings from other banks; and equity capital.

A credit union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative owned by its members. Credit unions hold deposits, make loans and paychecks, and provide other consumer banking services to individuals sharing a common bond or affiliation (in our case — those who live, work, worship, or attend school in Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester Counties). Because credit unions operate as not-for-profit institutions, they are exempt from both federal and local taxes. A credit union gets its operating funds from shares purchased by individual owners who are members. It also pays dividends (representing the payment of interest) out of earnings.

When it was first started back in 1969, TEGFCU stood for Taconic Educational and Governmental Federal Credit Union to designate its field of membership. As the years went on and the credit union became community chartered to serve all those who live, work, worship, or attend school in Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester Counties, it simply became TEG Federal Credit Union to signify the new community charter.

The TEGFCU routing number is 221975956.

Please note that the available balance does not reflect outstanding checks or debit items that have not been presented for payment.

  Only to TEGFCU account #____________” and be sure to include your correct TEG account number.
• Make sure that your check is properly endorsed on the back. Failure to do so will cause the deposit to reject during processing.
• Take a picture of the front and back of the check following the instructions on the screen.

Any deposit made between 9:00 a.m. EST and 3:59 p.m. EST will be credited on the same business day after 4:00 p.m.

A pending transaction is a type of “hold” on your account that affects your available balance. Your account balance can often differ from your available balance due to a pending transaction or “hold” on your account. For example, gas stations often “hold” up to $75 or more from your account when you fill up even though your final transaction amount may only be $30. That gas station transaction will eventually clear your account for $30, but they “hold” the funds from your available balance until the transaction clears. Regularly viewing your pending transactions may help you avoid unexpected overdraft fees.

You can view and print copies of checks that recently cleared in your account history for the past 180 days (about six months). Just click on the check number, and it will bring up the image of the check.

If you don’t have the ability to print the check copy or need a copy of a check that is more than 180 days old, you can submit the request online. Simply go to Tools and click on Message Center.  Click on the Compose button on the left and select Check Copies from the Subject dropdown.  Follow the instructions on the screen.  It can take up to 15 business days for you to receive the printed check copy.

To use Bill Pay, you must be a Digital Banking user and have a checking account.  Log on to Digital Banking, click on Bill Pay, which is under the Transfer & Pay feature.  Follow the step-by-step instructions on the screen to enroll in Bill Pay. Once you’ve selected your funding account and successfully enrolled, you can set up payees and pay bills.

You can pay anyone in the United States that you normally pay by check or automatic debit. Even if you don’t receive bills from the company or person you want to pay, you can still add the information required to make payments. You can pay large and small companies and individuals such as childcare providers or family members. When you pay a bill, Bill Pay sends the payment electronically whenever possible. If the company or person cannot receive electronic payments, Bill Pay prints a check and sends it to the address you provide when you add the payee information and schedule the bill payment.

You cannot use Bill Pay to pay any company or person with an address outside the United States or its territories. We are also unable to process any payments to federal, state, or local tax agencies.

To pay your bills online, add the companies and people you want to pay. We use this information to make the payments for your bills. The Pay Bill section will list all the payees you’ve added to Bill Pay. To pay a bill, enter a payment amount and the date you want the payment to be delivered by. You can also select the deliver by date from the calendar.

Note: When you enter an amount, Bill Pay automatically displays the earliest date you can select for the payment to be sent in the Start Date box.   You can either accept this date or change it to a later one.  The Start Date you select will also be shown as the Deliver By date in the Delivery Method box.

Note:  If the bill payment is an electronic bill payment, the funds will be verified and debited from your account the day BEFORE the Deliver By date so that the electronic payment will reach the payee by the Deliver By date. You can enter a Memo by clicking on the + Add Memo prompt.  Remember to click on the Submit Payment button to process your bill payment.

After you submit a bill payment, click on the Scheduled tab, allowing you to preview the bill payments scheduled for processing.   The MultiPay tab allows you to pay Multiple Bills from one screen.

The amount of an electronic bill payment will be verified for funds availability the day BEFORE the bill payment is Delivered By date. The payment amount will be deducted from your bill pay funding account if funds are available.   For example, if it’s June 25th and you schedule your payment to be Delivered By July 1, it will come out of your account on June 30th if you have sufficient funds to cover the bill payment amount.  Your account is debited the day BEFORE the Deliver By date so that an electronic bill payment can reach the payee by the Delivered By date.  Check bill payments will be deducted from your account when the check is presented.

You cannot use Bill Pay to pay any company or person with an address outside the United States or its territories. We are also unable to process any payments to federal, state, or local tax agencies.

All electronic bill payments must be submitted on a business day before 3:00 pm EST to be delivered by the next business day.

Our service is highly secure and designed to safeguard the privacy and security of your financial information fully.

Messages cannot be redirected, read, or tampered with. We also take advantage of the maximum level of security supported by your browser.

Only you can authorize payments. You have complete control over whom you are issuing a payment to, the exact payment amount, when the payment should be sent, or whether to pay the bill at all.  If you have a flat fee or recurring bill you would like to have paid automatically each month, you can schedule the recurring payment.

Auto-pay provides a means for automatically scheduling payments in Bill Pay based on the options you select. You can set up an automatic payment schedule to pay bills of a set amount at regular intervals. For example, you can schedule a payment on the first of each month to pay your mortgage or rent.  Other payment frequencies are available.

Once you see those deposits in your other account, come back to your TEG digital banking, and on the top of your Dashboard, click on the Verify External Account option that will appear above your accounts.   Complete the verification by entering the two micro-deposit transaction amounts to complete the setup of linking your external account to your TEGFCU digital banking for transferring funds.

Step 3: Once you’ve verified your external account, you will be able to make a transfer.  Simply select Transfer & Pay, Transfers, and Make a Transfer.  You’ll be able to choose your external account from the To and From drop-down menu.

Note: Please allow 2 business days to complete transfers to/from another financial institution. Transfers must be created before 2:30 p.m. EST to be processed on the same business day.

Limits: You may transfer up to $3,000 per transaction on a single business day using External Funds Transfer.

Yes, you may transfer up to $3,000 per transaction on a single business day using External Funds Transfer.

The eDocuments service provides electronic delivery of your notices and monthly or quarterly statements, which will take the place of your mailed paper notices and statements.

Sign in to Digital Banking. Click on Accounts & Loans and select eDocuments.  To enroll in eDocuments you must read and agree to the eConsent Disclosure.  Once enrolled, you can access your eDocuments.  When a new eDocument is available for viewing you will receive an email notification.

To access your eDocuments, log in to Digital Banking, click on Accounts & Loans, and then eDocuments.   Click on the Documents tab to view your Statements and Notices.   Click on the document you want to view.  It’s that easy!

There is no charge for the TEGFCU eDocuments service. It is absolutely free!

You will receive an email notification when your eNotice or eStatement is available for viewing.  Of course, your email address is confidential.

Yes, your eDocuments and email notifications are independent of one another. If you do not receive your email notification, your eDocuments will still be available through your digital banking.

You will need a Web browser such as Chrome/Safari/Edge/Firefox and an Internet connection. You will also need a PDF reader plug-in, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, to view your eDocuments.

Adobe Acrobat Reader is free software that you can download here.

Press the printer icon using the Adobe Acrobat Reader toolbar. You can either print the entire notice or statement, or just a particular page.

Using the Adobe Acrobat Reader toolbar, press on the diskette icon. You will then be asked where on your computer or devise you would like to save it.

No, you can either receive a paper statement via mail or an electronic statement via your digital banking. You cannot receive both.

According to the law, we must deliver the statement to the primary account holder.

eDocuments are designed with several state-of-the-art security features to keep your account information safe. These features include a firewall software security management system and 256-bit encryption.

Your eStatement will be available within the first few days of the new month for your prior month’s statement.  eNotices are available within minutes of the notice date.

eDocuments cannot be emailed to you.  For your security, you must log in to Digital Banking to access your eDocuments.

Previous eDocuments will be available for up to 18 months.

We can only send your eDocument notification to one email address.

You can change your email address online by signing into Digital Banking and clicking Tools, Settings, and then the Contact tab.  Use the pencil icon to update your email address in the Email Addresses section.   Be sure to click on the Save Changes button so your email update is processed.

TEGFCU eStatements can be saved as text, HTML, or PDF files, but do not currently support any financial software packages.  If you need to download your TEGFCU transaction data into Quicken, QuickBooks, or a spreadsheet format such as XLS or CSV, log in to Digital Banking and select Accounts & Loans.  Click Accounts and click on the account you want to view transactions.  Next, click the Download Transactions icon to select the file format you need.  Then, follow the instructions on the screen.

Log in to Digital Banking. In the Tools menu, select Alerts. Then, choose the type of Alert you would like to receive by clicking on the alert type on the left, then slide the button to the right to turn on that alert type.  Follow the instructions to set up your alerts and delivery method.  Click the Save button at the bottom of the screen to save your alert instruction.

Note: You can receive Account Alerts by account type to notify you when your balance falls below a certain amount, when a deposit has been posted to your account, when a loan payment is due—plus many more alert options are available. You can also set up Transfers Alerts, so you are alerted when specific types of transfers are added, blocked, canceled, submitted, failed, and succeeded.  General alerts cannot be turned off for security purposes as they are default alerts that notify you whenever your digital banking is accessed, or an invalid login has been attempted.  Mobile Deposit alerts will notify you when a mobile check deposit has been completed and is considered a default alert that cannot be turned off.

You must choose your alert delivery method to receive alerts as a text / SMS message to a mobile device or choose to receive an email or push notification.  Remember to click the Save button to save your alert delivery method.

First, you will need to verify that your mobile phone number is correct by going to Tools, Settings, and Contact tab.   In the Phone Numbers section, review your mobile number.  If your mobile number is incorrect, click on the pencil icon to update your mobile phone number and click the box to the left of the I Would Like to Receive SMS Text Messages to This Number.  Then select the Save Changes button at the bottom of the screen.

Once you have confirmed that your mobile number is correct, proceed to Tools, Alerts, and set up your alerts and delivery methods for each type of alert you would like to receive. On the delivery method screen for each alert you want to receive, click the SMS delivery method option and then click the Save button.

Just about — the alert service runs every minute.  However, the alert import file is run every 30 minutes, so there could be a delay in some account-based alerts (i.e., your balance has fallen below a certain amount…)

If you can view the other areas of our website but are unable to access Digital Banking, it may indicate a problem accessing secured websites.

If you are using one of the browsers we recommend and are still experiencing an issue, the problem may lie with your Internet Service Provider. This is particularly common with employer-based access to the Internet. Your employer may have firewalls, proxy servers, or other equipment that may prevent access to secured sites.  Contact your company’s IT Department regarding the problem or try to access Digital Banking from another location.

If none of these suggestions apply, please call us at 845.452.7323, Option 8.

You will see all your accounts listed.  Click on the pencil icon for the account you want to change the account name to something you prefer, also known as a Nickname.  Enter the Nickname that you want to use for the account and click Save.  If you don’t want to see an account, you can hide it and unhide it anytime by clicking in the Hide This Account box.  Remember to Save your updates.

Yes, you can, and for security purposes, it is a very good idea to set up Alerts so you know when specific events occur.  Go to Tools and select Alerts.  You will see that there are many different types of alerts you can set up.   There is no limit to the number of alerts you can set up, and you can deactivate specific alerts at any time.  Please note that several default alerts have been automatically set up for security purposes and you are unable to turn off default alerts.
