Depositing cash into your Comun account is simple and convenient. Whether you prefer to use your physical card at an AllPoint+ ATM or generate a barcode in the app, here's a step-by-step guide to help you understand both methods.
Using a Physical Card
Step 1: Wait for Your Physical Card
After you open your bank account online, your physical debit card will be mailed to your home. This usually takes 7 to 10 business days.
Step 2: Activate Your Card
Before you can use your card, be sure to activate it through the Comun application. It is necessary to have the card active for any transaction.
Step 3: Locate an AllPoint+ ATM
AllPoint+ ATMs are part of an extensive ATM network, perfect for cash deposits. Here's how to find one:
- Open the Comun application.
- Navigate to the "Move Money" section.
- Use the map to locate the nearest AllPoint+ ATM. These machines are often located in popular retail locations.
Step 4: Deposit Cash at an AllPoint+ ATM
Once you are at the ATM:
- Insert your activated card.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to deposit cash into your checking account. Please note that deposits can only be made to checking accounts, not savings accounts.
- Make sure your deposit is within the limits: up to $250 per deposit and up to $1,000 per day, including deposits and withdrawals.
Tip: If there are no AllPoint+ ATMs near you, don't worry - you can also deposit cash using a barcode at many other locations!
Using the Barcode in the Application
Step 1: Generate a Bar Code
Here we show you how to generate a barcode in the Comun application:
- Open the application and go to the "Cash" section.
- Select the option to generate a barcode for deposit.
- The barcode will appear on your screen, ready to be used.
Step 2: Find Locations Accepting the Barcode
To find a nearby location that accepts the barcode:
- In the "Cash" section, look for the list of participating locations.
- You can also use the map function to find the nearest store.
Step 3: Using the Bar Code
Take your barcode to a participating location and show it to the cashier. They will scan the barcode, allowing you to deposit your cash.
Important details:
- Expiration: The barcode expires after 15 minutes, but you can generate as many as you need.
- Limits: Be aware of the deposit limits that may apply when using the barcode method.
Troubleshooting ATM Transaction Problems
Problems Depositing Money
When troubleshooting ATM transaction problems, especially problems depositing money, it is important to make sure you are using an AllPoint+ ATM, as these machines do not charge fees for deposits. Your physical card must be activated; if it is not, you can easily activate it from the app. Also, be sure to enter the correct PIN. If you don't remember your PIN, you can view or change it in the settings section of the app. Verify that your deposit is within the limits, which are up to $250 per deposit and up to $1,000 per day. Finally, always select "checking account", as Comun accounts are checking accounts, not savings accounts.
Problems Withdrawing Money
If you encounter problems withdrawing money, first make sure you have a sufficient balance by checking your balance in the app before making a withdrawal. Use an AllPoint+ ATM to avoid withdrawal fees, as other ATMs may charge a fee. Enter the correct PIN; if you don't remember your PIN, you can view or change it in the settings section of the app. Verify that your withdrawal is within the limits, which are up to $250 per withdrawal and up to $1,000 per day, including deposits and withdrawals.
