Coming this summer, Carolina Trust will introduce a new digital banking experience for our members. We understand the importance of accessing your Credit Union accounts online and from your mobile device as you verify account balances, transfer funds, deposit checks, pay bills, and more while on the run and from the comfort of home.
We are excited to work with a new digital banking service provider who keeps pace with emerging technologies to offer greater remote banking convenience at your fingertips.
We look forward to delivering this new and improved digital banking solution with expanded features this summer and will provide more details as we get closer to launch.
We are pleased to announce that we now offer early ACH deposits, enabling certain ACH deposits to be credited to a member's account earlier than the expected funds' available date. In some cases, members may receive pending ACH deposits a day or two in advance of their effective posting date. For example, early ACH crediting may apply to payroll and government deposits, such as Social Security, when files are received earlier than the effective date. Carolina Trust is happy to offer this service convenience when possible to our members.

Looking to Trade-In your Car? Carolina Trust Made the Process So Easy!
One of my goals at the beginning of 2021 was to trade in my Jeep. As much as I enjoyed my Jeep, I was ready for a change and wanted something a bit more practical, fuel-efficient, and technologically advanced. I'd never traded in a vehicle before, so I had a lot of questions and uncertainty. With the help of a few of my Carolina Trust co-workers, I navigated my way through the trade-in process and got a new car that met all my criteria.
In 2020, many businesses, both local and big corporations, took major hits due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Even those that were able to stay afloat were not left unscathed. Everyone had to make significant adjustments to how they were operating their businesses, and online presence became a MUST to continue generating revenue.
Reminder: We will be closed on Monday, May 31st in observance of Memorial Day.
