• Send Money (P2P) Quick Start Guide

  FMFCU’s Send Money Person-to-Person (P2P) payment service, allows you to send funds to another person from within Online Banking and Mobile Banking. All you need is the person’s email address or mobile number, access to Online or Mobile Banking, and the personal identification number (PIN) for your debit card.

   

  P2P is great for:

   

  • Monetary gifts (birthday, anniversary, and congratulations)
  • College student expenses (living costs, food, books, and supplies)
  • Services (babysitting and yardwork)

   

  Recipients do not need to enroll in P2P, nor do they need to use the same financial institution. After accepting the Terms and Conditions the first time they use the service, recipients only need to provide a name, debit card number, and card expiration date. If funds are deposited into an account that belongs to a participating network, funds are immediately available. Otherwise, the transaction is processed via the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network and funds will be available in 1 to 3 days.

  1. Click or tap Transactions > Send Money.
     Note: On the initial visit the user will need to accept the terms and conditions for the P2P service. Upon which the system will automatically register the user (name, email address, etc).

This information will be encrypted and sent securely to the P2P service provider (First Data). First Data will ensure that the card is an eligible card issued by the FI and has the correct sequence of a valid card number. From here the user is ready to conduct a P2P transaction.
