Payments and Transfers

4 ways to move your money

Different money moves call for different transfer and payment methods. As a USC Credit Union member, you have four options to choose from, all fast and as simple as it gets. The choice comes down to the best fit for the transaction or your personal preference – or, in some cases, both.

Four options to choose from:

  • Online Bill Pay
  • Zelle®
  • Wire Services
  • Internal & External Transfers

Rent, mortgage, loans, the monthly cell phone bill – it’s a lot to keep track of. Set it and forget it with USC Credit Union’s free Online Bill Pay. Sign up today and start paying your monthly or individual bills online by the next business day.

    1If you already have Zelle with another financial institution, you will either need to transfer it to USC Credit Union or use an alternate number or email address.

    2When using Zelle®, only send money to those you trust. If the recipient is already enrolled with Zelle®, you can’t cancel a payment once it’s been sent. Neither USC Credit Union nor Zelle® offers a protection program for authorized payments made with Zelle®, like any instance where you don’t receive the item you paid for or the item is not as described or as you expected. If you’re asked to send yourself money with Zelle® or to provide your Zelle® credentials, don’t click on text message links or call the number that contacted you. Do not share your Zelle® and any other passwords with anyone.

    3U.S. checking account required to use Zelle®. Transactions between enrolled consumers typically occur in minutes and generally do not incur transaction fees.

    I love how easy it is to make payments and transfer money. I love your credit card as well.
