  • Online Banking
I have multiple member numbers and accounts at Horizon Credit Union, but when I log into online banking it only shows me one of my accounts. Why is that?

Our accounts are set up per membership. This means that each member number has a separate login (username and password) for online banking. To connect accounts first log in to online or mobile banking then select Add External Accounts, then Add An Account. Search for Horizon then enter the username and password of the account you want to link. After verifying your identity via phone or text, your accounts will be linked!

    For mobile, click Add External Accounts or select the More option and click Money Management.
  • Select Add An Account and search for Horizon Credit Union. Enter the username and password of the additional account you want to link to your primary account. You will be asked to verify your identity via phone or text.

  • Account Information
  • Fraud
I received a text from Horizon Credit Union about fraudulent activity on my account and is asking for my personal information. Is this text real?

We will never ask for personal information such as your debit card, social security number etc. via email or text. As your credit union, we already have this information on record. If we notice potential fraud on your account a member of our Fraud Department will contact you by phone. Any unexpected texts or email asking for personal information should be treated as spam.

To notify us about potentially fraudulent activity call us at 800.852.5316.

  • Secure Mail
I’m a vendor. How can I opt out of Secure Mail?

Because confidential credit union information may be contained in emails with vendors, we require that our vendors use the secure platform as well.

  • Secure Mail
Is Secure Mail safe?

Yes! By logging in to the secure messaging platform, you are helping protect your personal information. 

  • Secure Mail
Is there a fee to use Secure Mail?

Nope! This service is entirely free.
