If I convert my existing Tyndall Checking account, will my direct deposit automatically convert to my new Tyndall First Spending account?

Yes, if your direct deposit is already going into your checking account then it would remain the same. 

Why can’t I visit a branch with a Tyndall First Spend account for everyday banking transactions?

To deliver this valuable and free account, we are only able to offer it as an online-only spending account as this account is designed for members that prefer to do their banking online and do not prefer to do teller transactions at a branch.

Can you define what an Online Only account is?

This means you can bank Online, Anytime, Anywhere! We can help you Online or through our Contact Center. This account is not a good fit if your primary banking preference is doing everyday teller transactions in person rather through Online Banking.

How does the Round up Savings work?

Say you do 2 spending transactions today both totaling .25 cents each, at the end of today we’ll round those 2 spending transactions to $1 each and then automatically transfer the $1.50 from your Tyndall First Spending account into your savings account. Think of it as automatic savings and every transaction is rounded up to help you save for the future.

10 to 14 Business days from the time your account is opened you’ll receive it in the mail. 

If you need the card quicker, you can order through Online Banking > Tools > Forms > Debit/Credit Card Request. Complete the form and under the “Delivery Type” select Card Fulfillment Center. You can then pick up your debit card the same day you’re notified in Online Banking that your request is completed from the Lynn Haven Card fulfillment center.

When will I receive the cashback every month?

Cashback deposits will be made on the last day of the month and posted into your Tyndall First Spending account on the last day of the month for that month’s activity.

Example: You have $100 in your Tyndall First Spending Account and $50 in your Savings Account and you go to the ATM and withdraw $350 from your Tyndall First account it will withdrawal the $100 from your Spending account, and the $50 from your savings account, and the $200 Fee Free Courtesy Pay will cover the additional $200 with no fees.
