A credit union account number is a unique identifier assigned to each member's account, typically a 16-digit number that can be found on your debit card, checks, or by logging into your online banking platform. This number is used to identify your account and facilitate transactions.

Your credit union account number is not the same as your member number, which is often a shorter, alphanumeric code used to access your account information. In contrast, your account number is used for specific transactions, such as direct deposits or bill payments.

To access your account number, you can log into your online banking platform using your member number and password. Once logged in, you can view your account number in the account details section.

Finding Your Account Number

Your account number is a unique 13-digit number assigned to each specific account.

You can find your account number in a few simple steps using online or mobile banking. First, log in to your online account and click on the "Accounts" tab.

The account number is displayed below the account name, and you can click on the eye icon to view it. Note that this is the same account number that appears on a paper check.

On a paper check, you can find your account number after the routing number, which is located on the bottom left corner of the check. The routing number is always 9 digits long, and your account number follows it.

For example, if the routing number is 291880411, your account number will be the 13 digits that follow it.

Online Banking and Direct Deposit

To set up direct deposit, you'll need to locate the Direct Deposit/ACH Number, which includes your Member Number and Suffix, as well as a string of prefix numbers that meet the standard number length for ACH.

You'll also need SESLOC's routing number, which is 322282713 and can be found in the footer of Online Banking and the credit union's website.

If you're setting up direct deposit or transfers from another financial institution, having this information ready will make the process much smoother.

Logging into Online Banking is a breeze, and once you're in, you can select an account to view its details. Your Member Number with a Suffix will be displayed on the Account Details tile, like 000000 and S0001 for a Share Savings account.

A key thing to note is that the Suffix indicates the type of account, with S standing for Share accounts like savings, checking, or certificates, and L for loan accounts.

To make sense of your Member Number and Suffix, just remember that the Suffix is like a label that tells you what kind of account it is.

Online Banking for Direct Deposit

To set up direct deposit, you'll need to locate the Direct Deposit/ACH Number, which includes your Member Number and Suffix, as well as a string of prefix numbers to meet the standard number length for ACH.

You'll also need SESLOC's routing number, 322282713, which can be found in the footer of Online Banking and the website. This number is essential for making transfers or payments from another financial institution.

The Direct Deposit/ACH Number is a unique identifier that allows for secure and efficient transactions.

Only primary accounts can receive ACH transactions, which include direct deposits, payoffs, vendor payments, and tax refunds. This is a key point to remember when setting up automatic payments or deposits.
