YOUR NEW MEMBER (ACCOUNT) NUMBER
Your new Magnifi Financial member number has a total of seven digits. The new number will start
with a “9” plus prefix zero(s) and then your original Financial One member number. The number of
prefix zero(s) varies depending on the number of digits your Financial One number
contained.
See the examples below.
Financial One Member Number | NEW Magnifi Financial Member Number |
---|---|
1234 | 9 + (Prefix Zeros) + 1234 = 9001234 |
12345 | 9 + (Prefix Zeros) + 12345 = 9012345 |
123456 | 9 + (Prefix Zeros) + 123456 = 9123456 |
You should receive this letter before October 1st. If you did not receive a letter, please contact Magnifi Financial.
Notify your employer or source of direct deposits that your routing and account numbers have changed.
Update all locations for direct deposits and automatic payments (ex. bills). Magnifi Financial will continue to process deposits and payments for a limited time to ensure there is no interruption in service.
HELPFUL TIP: If you have multiple checking or savings accounts, you can use a full 13-digit account number, which includes your specific account share ID number. This would ensure your direct deposits are successfully deposited in your intended account.
How to find your full 13-digit account number:
After enrolling in Digital Banking, select the account you wish
to view. Click on “Details & Settings,” and you can see the “Direct Deposit/Auto Payment”
13-digit number to use.
Debit Cards
IMPORTANT: Begin using your new Magnifi Financial debit card immediately. If you have an ATM card or HSA, you should have also received a new debit card. Your Financial One debit cards have automatically shut down. Please destroy your old Financial One debit or ATM cards.
How to change your card PIN: Please visit a Magnifi Financial branch or ATM. Our team cannot change your PIN via phone call.
