How do I stop an automatic payment from being charged to my account?

The best way to stop the payment is to contact the vendor who is submitting the request. If they are unresponsive, you may request a one-time or permanent stop payment of ACH debits. You can use a one-time stop payment to stop a single payment for the requested date and amount. A permanent stop payment will cancel all future payments to that vendor. 

To request a one-time or permanent stop payment for automated debits, you must complete the Stop Payment Form. Please contact us for assistance.

How can I transfer money with this account?

We offer free ACH Transfers and free incoming wire transfers with this account. If you’re looking to send money to someone else, we also offer Zelle®!

A share savings account with a minimum deposit of $1 is required for membership at Johns Hopkins Credit Union. The $1 is not a fee, it gives you a “share” of ownership in the credit union and will be returned to you if you ever decide to close your account. The $1 initial deposit will remain in your savings account unavailable for you to use. If you look at your statement, or in online or mobile banking, you will always see it reflected in your “account balance,” just not in your “available balance.”
