What’s the difference between linking external accounts (account aggregation) and setting up transfers from external accounts?
The account aggregation feature in Mobile and Online Banking allows you to link your accounts at other financial institutions to monitor your balance and transactions on your accounts at other financial institutions. Learn how to Link External Accounts.
You can also set up transfers from your external accounts at other financial institutions to your Salal account to make loan payments, move funds between accounts, or send money to another Salal member. To learn how, see our Transfer from Account to Account tutorial.
Why can’t I see my external transfer in the “Scheduled” transfer tab?
Because external transfers go through ACH (Automated Clearing House) network, they do not show in the scheduled transfer tab and will not appear on the calendar. However, you can see the status of external transfers under the “Activity” tab.
My external account has a red exclamation mark next to it—what does that mean?
Your login credentials for your external account likely need to be updated. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click on your name in the upper right corner and select Settings.
- Go to the Account Tab
- Under External Accounts, go to the account that needs to be updated.
- Select the first icon on the right-hand side (see below).
- Enter your login credentials for that financial institution again. Everything should re-sync (this may take a few minutes).
