MICR # and Account #: What’s the difference?
MICR stands for magnetic ink character recognition, and it’s the line of numbers that runs across the bottom of your
check. It’s made up of two to three different groups of numbers, and the format is uniform across the country so
financial institutions can read and accurately process large numbers of checks. Your MICR number may also be required
to set up direct deposit with your employer or for many online
transactions.
The routing number is the first group of numbers on the MICR line
and is the financial institution’s unique identification number.
AACFCU's routing number is 262183749. The second group of
numbers is your account number; however, it often looks different than the account number you may be used to
seeing. In this case, your account number is written as it is needed for automated transactions and will likely include
several zeros before your actual account number begins. Your check number is the third group of numbers.
If you don't use checks, you can also find this information online. Our routing number can easily be found on our homepage at www.aacfcu.com when you click the Routing & Transit Number link in the top right corner of the page. You can
find your account number in the MICR format when you log in to your Internet Account Access and click on the account
in question. In the box that lists your total balance and your available balance, click on See Account Details and look for
your ACH number.

AACFCU Donates $15,000 to Fort Rucker's AER
Last month, AACFCU donated $15,000 to Fort Rucker’s Army Emergency
Relief (AER) Fund following our 26th annual golf tournament held in May.
AER is the Army’s own emergency financial assistance program dedicated to helping active and retired soldiers when there is a vital need.
Fort Rucker’s AER campaign raised $158,028 and will provide loans
and grants to soldiers, retirees, family members and survivors.
Our annual golf tournament is our primary fundraiser for Fort Rucker’s AER Fund each year. Thank you to everyone who participated in
the tournament to make this year’s donation possible!

Army Aviation Center Federal Credit Union donated $21,441 to the Cystic
Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) after a company-wide fundraising campaign
in April and May. The Credit Union is an annual sponsor of the CFF Great
Strides Walks in Dothan and Mobile, and employees coordinate fundraisers at each Credit Union location.
Thanks to the generosity of our employees and members, our branches
raised $13,941 in donations, and AACFCU donated an additional $7,500
to CFF.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a progressive, genetic disease that causes persistent
lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world's leader in the search for a cure for cystic fibrosis, and nearly every CF-specific drug available today was made possible
with the foundation’s financial support.
Whether your dream is to own a cottage in the woods or
purchase a condo on the golf course, we can help!
Americans purchased 1.13 million vacation homes in 2014 resulting in
21% of all U.S. home sales that year, according to a National Association of
Realtors® study.
Army Aviation Center Federal Credit Union can provide a mortgage loan so
you can enjoy a vacation home. Going into the venture involves a balance of
personal and financial decisions. Here's what to consider according to More
Within Reach Magazine:
Think ahead–Ask yourself some questions. Will you have visitors, and if so,
will you have the room to accommodate them? Is this a retirement home or
an investment? If you'll be staying at your second home for several months
at a time, how will you handle health care and other essentials?
One thing you won't have to worry about is conducting business with
AACFCU. Our online banking and shared branching opportunities can
make being miles away from your regular home seamless.
Consider more than purchase price and monthly payments– When you're
purchasing a second home, it's important that you factor in other considerations in addition to purchase price and monthly payment. Maintenance
costs can add up quickly. Ask yourself if you want a fixer-upper or if you
want something that will take less time and money to maintain. Also take
into account other costs such as electricity and transportation costs going
between your two homes.
