May I continue to use my existing debit/credit card?

Yes. You may continue to use your current debit/credit cards throughout the upgrade process and at all times thereafter. You will not need a new debit/credit card.


Will there be a period in which I will not have access to my funds due to the upgrades?

You will continue to be able to access your funds by debit card or check. We planned the update over a weekend (February 28 – March 3) to minimize the impact on you, while offering complete access to your funds. However, please carry an alternative form of payment during the upgrade weekend in case Affinity experiences an unplanned disruption of service. Should you have further questions, please contact 515-288-7225.


Will my current direct deposits and automatic drafts be affected?

Since your account is not changing, all current direct deposits or automatic drafts will continue to be processed normally.


How will the system update affect online banking and bill payment?

Access to bill pay will be unavailable during the update period between 5 PM on February 28th and 10 AM on March 3rd. All scheduled payments and bill pay relationships will transfer to the new online banking system. As always, we highly encourage you to monitor payments to confirm they are paid as scheduled and let us know if there are any issues.


Will I need to re-enroll in e-statements?

Yes. After the update, you will need to re-enroll in order to continue receiving e-statements. Re-enrolling is very easy to do and will only take a few seconds. Just click the Statements tab in online banking and accept the terms and conditions.


Is the routing number changing?

No. Affinity’s routing number will stay the same: #273074504


Will automatic deposits scheduled during the downtime period still occur?

The downtime will not affect any automatic deposits you are scheduled to receive.
