In 2021, online banking is not only a convenience, but a necessity. As we turn more and more to digital solutions, being able to handle finances with the click of a button is more appealing than ever. Having the peace of mind of knowing that your money is secure as well as being able to rely on the instant access and control that digital banking provides when it comes to your finances are two key benefits to banking online. On top of that, online banking features important benefits like being able to automate your finances or push notifications sent right to your device for situations like when your bills are due or your account is overdrafted.

Online banking platforms offer a number of handy tools to help you keep track of your finances. Here are just a few that are available through HUECU’s Online Banking platform!

Budgeting

Budgeting tools are a great way to both create and stick to a budget. With HUECU’s Online Banking platform, you can use the budgeting tool set your income, track your spending, see transactions, categorize those transactions, and view a full summary of your expenses. For HUECU accounts, you can find this tool by clicking “More” in the menu and selecting “Budgets”.

Financial Education

Not sure where to start with a budget? Or, maybe you have other questions about how best to manage your finances. The best way to stay in control of your financial health is through education, and with Online Banking through HUECU, you have access to a full library of financial education courses and helpful articles. Just click on the “Educational Articles” button in the top right of Online Banking to get started.

Zelle

We recently partnered with Zelle®, an online platform that lets you easily send money to friends, family and others you trust. It’s a fast, safe and easy way to send and receive money, split the cost of a bill or pay back your roommate for your share of the rent. Click on “More” in the menu and select “Send Money with Zelle®”.

Free Credit Score Checks

When’s the last time you checked your credit score? This three-digit number helps financial institutions to gauge your credit worthiness, and it’s one of the most important pieces of information that can shape your financial future. Good news! You can now check your score right in Online Banking or the Mobile App! Click on “More” in the menu and select “FICO® Score”. Your FICO® Score displayed is based on Experian data, and we also provide information about the key factors affecting your FICO® Score so you can stay up to date and make the best financial decisions possible.
