Hi,
I recently set up an account with my local credit union. Last week I popped into the branch to request their account details so that I could set them up as a payee on my online banking as it is more convenient for me to save in this way. The cashier told me that their policy is to not give out their account details but that I should give them my bank account details and set it up that way.
Is this usual practice? From my point of view it is handier for me to control how much I can save via electronic transfer rather than them setting me up to pay a fixed amount. Anyone got any advice?
