    FAQs

    You can log into online or mobile banking to see your real-time transaction history and view your monthly eStatements (unless you’ve opted to receive printed statements in the mail).
    Deposits can be made via an ATM, branch or shared branch. You can also transfer money into your checking account using online or mobile banking. If depositing a check, you can use the mobile check deposit feature on the Arsenal app.
    We're glad you asked. Many banks charge fees based on a minimum daily balance. If your account drops below the minimum on any given day, you'll be charged. We go with a more generous option and charge fees based on a minimum average daily balance instead. That means we'll calculate your average balance at the end of each month, and only charge a fee if your account is consistently lower than the required amount. This can be a big help if you find that your checking account dips a little low at the end of the month, but generally stays at a higher balance.
    Our routing number is 281081233.
    Courtesy Pay is automatically activated on all checking accounts in good standing. This service allows us to pay, at our sole discretion, an item (check) presented for payment against your checking account when the requested payment causes the account to become overdrawn. If for any reason you would like to opt out of this service, you may do so by contacting us directly.
    If your account becomes negative, we will draw money from your savings account first. If there are no available funds in your savings account and you have not established an overdraft line of credit with us, we may still honor the check, but you will be charged a $28 fee, which is several dollars less than the average amount charged by banks. Courtesy Pay is available based on member eligibility; Arsenal may pay overdrafts up to a total of $750 (including fees). If we do not honor your check due to non-sufficient funds in your checking account, you will be charged a $28 fee.
    You can reorder checks online, or call 1.800.275.1053. When you order checks through us and our checking partner, Harland Clarke, they are packed with features that add security – and value – for you. The newest feature added (2018) to our checks is CheckArmor®, a fully managed identity theft restoration service. Harland Clarke checks also include enhanced mobile security features that support remote deposit capture and make it more difficult for checks to be used fraudulently.

    We suggest the following steps:
    1. Always use permanent ink when writing checks rather than pencils or erasable ink pens.
    2. Make out a check to a name, not "cash" so someone else can't cash that check.
    3. Draw a line after the name of the party who's supposed to get the money.
    4. Print numbers as close as possible to the preprinted dollar sign.

    Value-added solutions

    These extra features help keep your money safe, protect your credit and identity, and make your whole banking experience more convenient.

    • Overdraft Line of Credit

      Establishing a line of credit protects you from being charged a fee if you don't have enough money in your account to cover a purchase or ATM withdrawal. This loan product features a fixed rate with no set term; interest is only charged when you have an outstanding balance. You can apply in person or by phone, mail or fax, as well as through online banking.

    • Courtesy Pay

      This service allows us to pay an item presented for payment against a qualified member's checking account, even though doing so causes the account to become overdrawn. This saves you from paying additional merchant returned-check charges and protects your credit rating.

    • CheckArmor® Fraud Protection
