Easy Credit Card Advances with Advance Transfer

The Advance Transfer link is available in the account tools.
We've added a new tool to your UW Credit Union credit card accounts. Advance Transfers allow you to transfer funds from your credit card account to your checking account. There is no fee for the transfer and you'll just pay the interest that accrues.

Advance Transfers allow you to access your credit line for almost anything. The funds are available instantly and become part of the cash advance balance on your card.

Just look for the Advance Transfer link in the account tools next to your credit card account on the Account Summary on Web Branch.

  4. Wow, this is fantastic. Are there any plans to allow this to kick in automatically in the event of overdrafts? Perhaps with a small fee?

  5. We have discussed allowing credit cards to be used for overdraft protection in lieu of the Reserve Line of Credit. There is quite a bit of work to be done to make that happen, but it is still on the list of potential projects.

  6. After making an advance transfer, how do I make a payment that will pay off the advance transfer amount, as opposed to just making a credit card payment, so that I'm no longer paying the advance transfer interest rate?

    1. There is a standard formula for how payments are applied to different types of balances. In order to answer this for you specifically, please contact us and we can look at your account.
