-
I can view other areas of e-Teller, but I can't get into my accounts through e-Teller. What's wrong?
If you are unable to access secured areas within your accounts in e-Teller, it may be because of your browser and Internet Service Provider. Your browser and Internet Service Provider must support secured sites.
Another reason that you might not be able to access e-Teller is that cookies may not be enabled. In order to enter the secure encrypted site, you must be accepting cookies. To enable cookies, please refer to the Help function of the browser you are using.
-
Can I use my browser's Back and Forward buttons to go from one e-Teller page to another?
In general, you should never use your browser’s Back or Forward buttons to go from one e-Teller page to another. If you are doing a transaction—such as paying a bill, or transferring money—use the buttons at the bottom of the page. Use the buttons at the top of a page to perform a function related to that page, such as Add Payee or List Payees. If you are viewing information and want to go to another page, use the links on the left-hand side of each page.
-
What are my options for transferring between accounts?
You may transfer funds between any personal account where you are the primary or joint owner, plus you can also transfer to another Spirit of Alaska personal account where you are not a primary or joint owner (see below FAQ). You cannot transfer this way to a business account.
Follow the prompts to complete the transaction.
-
I have both business accounts and personal accounts; can I transfer between them?
If your business has its own tax ID number (TIN), then you cannot transfer between your business and personal accounts. Banking regulations prevent the Credit Union from allowing this type of transaction. You can use Bill Pay to solve this problem, which is available through personal e-Teller. As a person, you can pay your business; and your business can pay you as a person.
-
How do I transfer to an account I am not a signer on?
Click on the Transfers tab at the top of the page. Click on “Transfer to an account that is not yours” from the menu on the left.
You must setup the recipient of an account that is not yours, which is simple to do using the “Setup an account that is not yours” link on the page.
Then, complete the required information and click Submit. Be sure to call us at (907) 459-5900 or (800) 478-1949 if you need further assistance.
-
How do I view checks, statements, notices, or agreements?
Click on Accounts at the top of the page; Click on Statements from the menu to the left; this takes you to our Home Connect page where all of these items can be accessed. Only the primary account holder has access to e-Statements. For security purposes you MUST choose ‘Logoff’ when you are done viewing your statements, notices, bills and tax forms.
-
How do I order checks?
