FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

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®!

How can I set up a direct deposit?

Processes for signing up can differ by employer, but at the very least, you will need: 

  • Your nine-digit account number (provided at account opening, viewable on checks you have for your JHCU account, or on your statement) 
  • JHCU’s Routing and Transit Number, 252076235. 

For more information, click here or talk to your employer.

How does overdraft protection work?

We have several overdraft options to meet your needs. Our Courtesy Payment overdraft option is the standard protection available to all account holders. We also offer courtesy transfers from a Share Savings Account, a Loanmaker Line of Credit, or a Home Equity Line of Credit.

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.”
