This form requests personal information. Return it securely to your employer or payer, not through an unsecured email or a website message.
Menu names and screens can vary slightly by app version. For account-specific questions, contact Pioneer directly.
MAKING THE SWITCH
Changing financial institutions can feel like a lot. Use this list to move deposits and payments carefully so your daily routine stays on track.
For direct deposit, you’ll also need your full account number, not your member number. Find it in your Pioneer app.
Check off each item as you complete it. Your selections are not saved when you leave this page.
TRANSFER & LOAN PAYMENT GUIDE
The Pioneer app lets you choose where money comes from and where it goes. Use this guide to make a transfer between eligible accounts and to check your options for paying a Pioneer auto loan using another bank.
These simplified examples use the labels shown in the Pioneer app. No member account information is displayed.
Illustrations only. The screens and eligible accounts you see may vary. This does not show or guarantee an external-bank loan payment option.
Important: An account connection is not itself a transfer or loan payment. Do not assume a payment is scheduled until you have completed a supported payment method and received confirmation. Verify the payment posts before your due date.

GOOD TO KNOW
In the Pioneer mobile app, select your checking account and scroll to account numbers. Your full account number is different from your member number. For direct deposit, use your full account number.
No. The Accounts screen may offer outside account linking, but that alone does not set up a transfer or loan payment. Use the transfer walkthrough to check the available From and To choices. Contact Pioneer if your outside bank or loan is not listed.
First enroll in online banking. Then download the Pioneer Appalachia FCU mobile app and sign in with the credentials you created.
Keep your old account open until your first deposit reaches Pioneer, recurring payments have moved and cleared, and you have reviewed outstanding checks or transactions. This helps you avoid missed payments and unnecessary fees.
No. Checking your credit through Pioneer’s Credit Score & More tool uses a soft inquiry and does not affect your credit score.
