Help: SMS Mobile Banking

SMS mobile banking allows you to fetch your account balances and recent account history by sending an SMS to Afena FCU.

To enroll in SMS mobile banking, log into the mobile banking web site and then select the "Text Banking" menu and follow the directions.

Once your mobile phone is enrolled, you may send text messages to 86020 with the following commands:

B to fetch all account balances
H to fetch the five most recent transactions for all accounts
H acct to fetch the five most recent transactions for a specific account (e.g. H S01)
X source dest amount to transfer dollar amount from source account to destination account (e.g. X S01 S05 50.00)
MENU to fetch the list of available command options
STOP to deactivate SMS mobile banking

The commands are not case sensitive. For example, you can use 'b' as well as 'B' to fetch balances.

Note, standard text message and data rates from your phone carrier will apply. Message frequency depends on account settings.
