Trustly uses the account number when electronically moving money to or from your credit union accounts.
In some cases, your member number may be included in whole or in part, in the account number.
Here's an overview of each number type:
- Member Number: Identifies you as a member of the credit union, not a specific account. It’s like your personal ID with the credit union. This is used to identify you to credit union employees, as the identifier on statements, or on your credit union's website or app.
- Account Number: Identifies a specific account that you have with the credit union (like your checking or savings account). It’s how transactions are linked to the correct account. This is what you provide your employer to set up direct deposit or, as is the case with Trustly, the information used to electronically transfer money to or from your account.
