Additional information about this merger
Direct Deposit Timing
Will I still receive early access to my direct deposit?
Yes. CCU provides the same early access KCT members are used to.
What if I don’t see my deposit at the usual time?
The timing of payroll and Social Security direct deposit notifications isn’t controlled by CCU and can vary based on several factors. While deposits are still processed the same day, they may post at a different time than they did at KCT.
Does CCU hold my funds?
No. Deposit notifications are processed as they are received.
Do withdrawals or debit payments post early?
No. Withdrawals and debit transactions post on their scheduled date to help prevent unexpected overdrafts.

Member & Account Numbers
Support for Payroll Transfers will be Ending 2/20/26
Deposit Based Transfers will no longer be supported
After February 20, these deposit-triggered transfers and loan payments will stop working. Your paycheck will still deposit as usual, but the related transfers and loan payments will not occur unless they are set up as Scheduled Transfers in CCU Digital Banking after conversion.
To set up Scheduled Transfers within CCU Digital Banking starting February 23:
- Log in to CCU Digital Banking.
- Look for the option titled “Move Money” in the main menu.
Start by selecting the account you want to transfer money from, and then the account you want to transfer money to. - Enter the amount you’d like your transfer to be, then, under the “Send Transfer” drop-down menu, choose “Scheduled”. This will allow you to select a future start date and set the frequency of your transfer – such as weekly, biweekly, or monthly.
Note: You can also add a memo with info about your transfer in this section if you like. - Once everything is set, click Review, then Confirm Transfer to complete the setup. Your automatic transfers will now process going forward based on the schedule and information that you have provided.

Why Is This Merger Happening?
The combination of the two companies ensures a bright future for members and employees of both institutions. Members will have access to a larger branch network, enhanced digital tools and a broad range of products and services.
When Will This Process Be Complete?
We are planning for KCT to complete the transition to CCU systems, Monday, February 23, 2026.
What If I Have Current Accounts At Both KCT And Consumers Credit Union?
For members with current accounts at both institutions, KCT and CCU accounts will be preserved through conversion, along with any associated credit or debit cards. For example, a member who holds a checking account with a debit card at KCT, as well as a checking account with a debit card at CCU will continue to have two separate checking accounts, with two cards after the system conversion is complete.
What Should I Be Doing Now To Prepare?
- Double-check your contact information and make sure your mailing address, e-mail address and phone number(s) are correct. Make any necessary updates through Online Banking, by visiting any KCT branch location or by filling out the Change of Address form located on the KCT website. Note that a valid, updated ID is required to change your address in person at a branch.
