To lodge funds:
- When lodging funds electronically to your Account, please submit a CU Disbursement Form to Cara Credit Union.
A CU Disbursement Form tells Cara Credit Union where you would like your lodged funds to go: in to your Shares, your Loan, your Current Account or in to your Access Account.
Without a CU Disbursement Form, Cara Credit Union will automatically lodge your funds to your Loan (if due for payment or loan is in arrears)and balance to your Shares (savings) Account. If you don’t have a loan (due or in arrears) it will go directly to your Shares. Download the CU Disbursement Form here Disbursement Form fill in and return to our offices.
