We’ll cover your point of sale transactions up to $200 negative with no fees. If you have a linked overdraft source such as your savings account or Tyndall Credit Card and you don’t have funds in your Tyndall First Spending account, Tyndall will look to that overdraft source first and if no funds are available you can go negative up to $200 with no fees.

After your recurring direct deposit has been established we’ll deposit your paycheck 1 business day early *Restrictions apply; Available for most employers.

Example: You typically get your payroll deposited on Friday, with getting paid early, Tyndall will deposit your payroll on Thursday so your funds are available early. 

It's easy. Select the 'Deposit' option; select 'Cash' as the 'Type of Deposit'; and then select the account to which you wish to make the deposit.

The slot for the Currency Acceptor will open and a green light will begin blinking above the slot. Simply insert your bill or stack of bills into the slot. You may deposit up to 30 bills at one time.

Once the cash has been accepted, the itemized list of the bills will appear on screen, along with the total amount of the deposit. If the amount shown is correct, simply press 'Process Deposit'.

You may deposit a maximum of 30 bills at once.

It doesn't matter. The ATM is advanced enough to read the bills no matter which way they are inserted. They just have to be unfolded.

Absolutely. If you deposit cash, you will see a list that shows the quantity of each denomination, along with the total amount of the deposit. Your receipt will also show the itemized list. If the amount is incorrect, you have the opportunity to cancel the deposit and have the bills returned to you.

Select the 'Deposit' option; select 'Checks' as the 'Type of Deposit'; and then select the account to which you wish to make the deposit.

The slot for the Check Acceptor will open and a green light will begin blinking above the slot. Simply insert your check or stack of checks into the slot. You may deposit up to 30 checks at one time.

Once the check has been accepted, an image of the check will appear on the screen. If you deposited more than one check, you will have the opportunity to review the image of each check to verify it. You may edit the check(s), if necessary. The Check Deposit Summary screen will show you how many checks were deposited and the total deposit amount. If everything is correct, press the 'Accept Checks' option.

You may deposit a maximum of 30 checks at once.

Please review the check that was returned to ensure that it was written properly for deposit. The most common reasons for rejection at the ATM are:

• The check is not signed on the front or is not endorsed (signed) on the back,
• The check does not have a valid date on it,
• The check amount written on the 'legal' line does not match the amount written in the box,
• The check is damaged so it is unreadable,
• The background design of the check may be too "busy" for the machine to be able to read the words on the check, or
• The check was printed on a home printer; the routing number and account number were not printed with magnetic (MICR) ink.

Certainly. If you deposit checks, you will see an image of the check or checks onscreen. You will have the opportunity to review each check and verify the amount of each. If the ATM misread a check amount, simply edit the amount and make your deposit. You have the option of having the individual check images appearing on your receipt as well. If you feel the deposit is incorrect, you have the opportunity to cancel the transaction and have the checks returned to you.

Since the checks are now immediately imaged in the ATM and are sent through to the Federal Reserve, the process is quicker with the new Envelope-Free ATMs. However, our standard check hold policy will apply.

You sure can. At any point prior to accepting the deposit, you can cancel the transaction by pressing the 'Cancel' button on the keypad.

No. Deposit slips are not necessary and should NOT be used. These high-tech ATMs instantly itemize and calculate each deposit automatically.

No. Cash deposits and check deposits must be done separately.

Your receipt will show the balance of your account, as well as the available balance of your account. You may also obtain this information through Online Banking, Mobile Banking, and GENIE24 any time of the day or night.

No. If you have more than one member number with Tyndall, you will have a different debit card (or ATM card) to access each one. You must use the card that is specific to the member number to which you are making the deposit.

You can, however, deposit the funds to the account of one member number at the ATM, and then transfer part of the funds to your other member number through Online Banking, Mobile Banking, or GENIE24. Please note, though, that if you deposit checks, the funds may not be immediately available for transfer.

No. You would have to make two separate deposits. You could also deposit the funds into one of the accounts and then, in a separate transaction, transfer them to the other through the ATM. Please note, though, that if you deposit checks, the funds may not be immediately available for transfer.

No. You cannot make any loan payments through the ATM. Please use one of our other services, such as Online Banking, Mobile Banking, or GENIE24 to make your loan payment. Of course, you may also visit a branch or contact our Call Center at 850-769-9999 (888-896-3255, toll-free) to make a payment.

In general, the hold policy should be the same, whether you are making the deposit by ATM or in person.

You may see a difference, however, if you are depositing a payroll check. At the teller line, we generally do not place a hold on a recognizable payroll check. The ATM, however, cannot make that distinction. If you need to ensure that you have immediate credit for a deposit, please take the check inside and speak with a teller.

No. The machines cannot accept coins.

If the deposit was made by check, you will have the opportunity to review the check on-screen and may make any necessary adjustments to the amount. If the deposit was cash, simply cancel the transaction and your bills will be returned to you. You can then verify the amount yourself.

Please contact us immediately if there is a problem with your deposit. You may:

• Contact our Call Center at 850-769-9999 (888-896-3255, toll-free),
• Chat with us or send us a secure message through Online Banking, or
• Speak with a Financial Sales Representative at any of our branches.

Yes, the new ATMs are ADA compliant. If you need to use the voice instructions, however, you must provide your own headphones.

Assuming you have the funds available in your account, the maximum you can withdraw from an ATM is $500 in a 24-hour period. This limit includes any 'Cash back' amount you may have received at a point-of-sale terminal during that time period.

• RV
• Personal Signature

Note, you must have made the previous month's payment before skipping a payment.  Loans are ineligible to skip if your due date is in 10 days or less.

You may not see your loan because of one of the following reasons:

• Loans are ineligible to skip if your due date is in 10 days or less.
• In order to allow time for processing this deadline is enforced.
• If you are already past this deadline, please make your payment and you can skip the next month.
• If this is your first loan payment, the loan payment is ineligible to be skipped. In addition, your loan must have been booked 46 or more days ago.
• Please make your payment and you can skip the next month.
• If you booked your loan under a 90 Days No Payments promotion, the loan is ineligible to be skipped until after the 12 payments have been made.

Some loan types are ineligible to be skipped. Those loans are as follows:

• Real Estate Loans
• Home Equity and HELOC Loans
• Mobile Home Loans
• Workout Loans
• Courtesy Pay Loans
• Credit Builder Loans
• Account Secured Loans
• If your loan payment is paid too far ahead, the loan is ineligible to be skipped due to regulatory limitations.
• If you just skipped your loan payment, you will not see the loan eligible for a consecutive Skip-a-Payment until the due date has advanced.

Come back tomorrow and try again.

If you have applied and were approved for a loan deferment, please note, this counts in the total amount of payments that can be skipped per year.

If you have a bankruptcy on record, the loan is ineligible to be skipped. Your accounts and loans must be in good standing.

To confirm your Skip-a-Payment request has been approved and processed, log in to Online Banking and check that your due date has advanced. Please allow up to 3 business days to receive your confirmation email.

If there is a problem with your Skip-a-Payment request, we will reach out to you via email.

If you have your loan payment set up to pay by ACH from another financial institution, you will be responsible to contact the other financial institution to adjust your next due date.

If you have a scheduled transfer or scheduled bill payment set up, you will be responsible to adjust your next payment date as applicable.

Our Skip-a-Payment process is handled 100% through Online Banking. If you want to skip your payment, you must submit a Skip-a-Payment in Online Banking. If you are not registered, please follow these instructions to sign up for Online Banking.

Pay online through the Web Payments Center. If you have not used the service before, you will have to Register to set up your account on the Web Pay system. If you have already registered, just log in.

If you can’t remember your username or password, you need to set up a new account on the Web Pay system. Your previous account will be automatically deactivated.

SWBC administers the web portal and cannot reset passwords.

You'll want to have the following information handy:

• your Tyndall member number,
• your loan suffix,
• the primary borrower's date of birth,
• the last four digits of the primary borrower’s Social Security Number,
• a valid email address, and
• the zip code on your account.

Your loan suffix is a 2-digit number that appears on the top of your account statement, as well as above the loan information on that statement. If it is a credit card statement, the loan suffix appears after the member number at the top of the statement.

You may also find your loan suffix above the loan information in Online Banking, under the "Accounts" tab (01, 43, 64, etc).

If you are paying from an account at another financial institution, you will need the routing number and account number for your account at the other financial institution. If you are using a debit or credit card, you will need the card number, expiration date, and security code.

It may take 1 to 2 business days for the payment to post to your account. If your payment is due on the 15th of the month, for example, please schedule the payment to be made on the 13th of the month. If you need an expedited payment, please contact one of our Member Service Representatives at 850-769-9999 (888-896-3255, toll-free).

The money will be taken from your account (or posted to your card balance) within 1 - 3 business days after the date for which you scheduled the payment.

You can pay your loan from an account at another financial institution, or by a non-Tyndall debit or credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover).

You can pay off your loan through this service if your payoff balance is $2,000 or less. Please be sure you know your full payoff balance.

If your payoff balance is higher than $2,000, please speak with a Member Service Representative at our Call Center. Call 850-769-9999 (888-896-3255, toll-free). You may also pay off your loan in person at any Tyndall branch. Fees may apply.

There are a few reasons that you may not be able to see your loans in the Web Payments Center.

• Loans are registered under the name of the primary borrower, and cannot be viewed under the name and information of any joint borrower. Please make sure you are logging in with the primary borrower's information.
• If you have opened a new loan since you originally registered in the Web Portal, your new loan will not appear. You must re-register in the Web Payments Center to have access to the new loan. Your old Web Portal account will be deactivated.
• A loan must be in good standing to be accessed via the Web Portal.
• We must have a valid mailing address on your account. Please log into to Online Banking and verify/update the address on record.

Yes. You may select your regular payment amount, or you may enter any payment amount you choose, up to a maximum of $2,000 per transaction.

If you are past due on your loan(s), you will not be able to make the payment through the Web Portal. You must contact the Call Center at 850-769-9999 (888-896-3255, toll-free) or visit your local branch to bring your loan back into good standing.

For Web Pay, you will receive a tracking number at the time of the transaction, and you will receive confirmation by email, which will be sent to the email address you used when you registered with the service. For Phone Pay payments, you will receive a confirmation number at the time of the transaction.

In order to dispute a payment you made from an account, debit card, or credit card you have at another financial institution, please contact that financial institution.

Yes. You can make payments from a mobile device, but you will need to use the web browser on your mobile device to access Tyndall’s full website at tyndall.org.

Yes. You can schedule a payment up to 7 days in advance.

Tyndall incurs expenses for processing loan payments with a credit card, debit card, or from accounts at another financial institution, so we cover those expenses by assessing a convenience fee for these payments.

Don’t want to pay a fee? We encourage you to make Tyndall your primary financial institution by opening a checking account and enrolling in Online Banking. You can transfer your payment yourself or set up scheduled, recurring payments – for FREE.

The convenience fee for using the self-service Web Portal or the Phone Pay service is $5.00 per loan payment.

We cannot waive the fee if you are paying from an external account. Remember, though, that payments made from a Tyndall savings or checking account are free…just one of many reasons to make Tyndall your primary financial institution.

You can send money to friends, family and others you trust².

Since money is sent directly from your bank account to another person's bank account within minutes¹, it's important to only send money to people you trust, and always ensure you've used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number.

You can send, request, or receive money with Zelle.

1. To get started, log into your online banking or mobile app and select "Pay a Person". Enter your email address or U.S. mobile phone number, receive a one-time verification code, enter it, accept terms and conditions, and you're ready to start sending and receiving with Zelle.
2. To send money using Zelle, simply select someone from your mobile device's contacts (or add a trusted recipient's email address or U.S. mobile phone number), add the amount you'd like to send and an optional note, review, then hit "Send." In most cases, the money is available to your recipient in minutes¹.
3. To request money using Zelle, choose "Request," select the individual(s) from whom you'd like to request money, enter the amount you'd like to request, include an optional note, review and hit "Request"³.
4. To receive money, just share your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile phone number with a friend and ask them to send you money with Zelle.

Sending and receiving money from Zelle is free for all Tyndall members. Mobile carrier and other applicable fees apply.

If you have already enrolled with Zelle, you do not need to take any further action. The money will move directly into your bank account, typically within minutes¹. If you have not yet enrolled with Zelle, follow these steps:

1. Click on the link provided in the payment notification you received via email or text message.
2. Select your financial institution.
3. Follow the instructions provided on the page to enroll and receive your payment. Pay attention to the email address or U.S. mobile number where you received the payment notification - you should enroll with Zelle using that email address or U.S. mobile number to ensure you receive your money.

Zelle is a great way to send money to family, friends, and people you are familiar with, such as your personal trainer, babysitter or neighbor².

Since money is sent directly from your bank account to another person’s bank account within minutes¹, Zelle should only be used to send money to friends, family, and others you trust.

Neither Tyndall nor Zelle offers a protection program for any authorized payments made with Zelle - for example, if you do not receive the item you paid for or the item is not as described or as you expected.

It's easy – Zelle is already available within your mobile banking app and Online Banking! Check Tyndall’s app or sign in online and follow a few simple steps to enroll with Zelle today.

View this full list of participating banks and credit unions “live” with Zelle.

If your recipient’s financial institution isn’t on the list, don’t worry! The list of participating financial institutions is always growing, and your recipient can still use Zelle by downloading the Zelle app for Android and iOS.

To enroll with the Zelle app, your recipient will enter their basic contact information, an email address and U.S. mobile number, and a Visa® or Mastercard® debit card with a U.S.-based account (does not include U.S. territories). Zelle does not accept debit cards associated with international deposit accounts or any credit cards.

When you enroll with Zelle through your Online Banking account or mobile banking app, your name, the name of your financial institution, and the email address or U.S. mobile number you enrolled with is shared with Zelle (no sensitive account details are shared). When someone sends money to your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile number, Zelle looks up the email address or mobile number in its "directory" and notifies Tyndall of the incoming payment. Tyndall then directs the payment into your account, all while keeping your sensitive account details private.

In order to use Zelle, the sender’s and recipient’s bank accounts must be based in the U.S.

You can only cancel a payment if the person you sent money to hasn't yet enrolled with Zelle. To check whether the payment is still pending because the recipient hasn't yet enrolled, you can go to your activity page, choose the payment you want to cancel, and then select "Cancel This Payment."

If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle, the money is sent directly to their bank account and cannot be canceled. This is why it's important to only send money to people you trust.

Money sent with Zelle is typically available to an enrolled recipient within minutes¹.

If you send money to someone who isn't enrolled with Zelle, they will receive a notification prompting them to enroll. After enrollment, the money will move directly to your recipient's account, typically within minutes¹.

If your payment is pending, we recommend confirming that the person you sent money to has enrolled with.

Yes! They will receive a notification via email or text message.

Keeping your money and information safe is a top priority. When you use Zelle within Tyndall’s mobile banking app or Online Banking, your information is protected with the same technology we use to keep your bank account safe.

If you don’t know the person, or aren’t sure you will get what you paid for (for example, items bought from an online bidding or sales site), you should not use Zelle for these types of transactions.

These transactions are potentially high risk (just like sending case to a person you don’t know is high risk). Neither Tyndall nor Zelle offers a protection program for any authorized payments made with Zelle - for example, if you do not receive the item you paid for or the item is not as described or as you expected.

Your email address or U.S. mobile phone number may already be enrolled with Zelle at another bank or credit union. Call our customer support team and ask them to move your email address or U.S. mobile phone number to Tyndall Federal Credit Union so you can use it for Zelle.

Once customer support moves your email address or U.S. mobile phone number, it will be connected to your bank account so you can start sending and receiving money with Zelle through Tyndall’s mobile banking app.

Sometimes, when you use your card at a gas pump, the merchant will pre-authorize your card to make sure you have the funds available. They do this because you swipe/insert your card before the merchant knows how much you will actually end up spending on gas. In fact, some gas stations will even do the opposite – they will only authorize $1. Don’t worry. When the transaction is processed, your account will be charged the amount you actually spent.

Tyndall Cards works on the most recent and last two versions of Android and Apple devices, so make sure you have updated your device. Older systems might still be able to download the app; however, they may not have all the functionality.

We send out an annual Tax and Insurance Statement (also known as your Escrow Analysis).

Tyndall does not hold the actual deed to the property. The borrower should have the original deed from when they first purchased the property. If the original deed has been lost or misplaced, a copy can be obtained from the Recording Office where the original document was recorded.

Titles are only issued on Mobile/Modular Homes. A lien release is sent to the Department of Motor Vehicles. Paper titles are mailed to the borrower. If the titles are electronic then the lien is just released. 

For insurance, contact your insurance agent(s) and let them know that your mortgage is paid off and they need to update the billing party from Tyndall to you (some agents require the recorded mortgage satisfaction before removing Tyndall as the lienholder). For property taxes you should already be receiving a copy of your bill when payment is due. Some tax offices have it notated in their system that your property taxes were escrowed so you can contact their office and let them know they are no longer escrowed.

Mortgage Satisfaction can take up to 45 days. The recorded Satisfaction will be emailed to you. If we do not have an email address on file then it will be mailed to the address we have on file. 

A check will be issued and mailed to the address we have on file normally within 10-14 business days after the loan is paid off and closed.
