Why this matters in The El Paso
For El Paso residents who rely on GECU's online and mobile banking services, the upcoming system upgrade will require some advance planning to avoid disruptions. The unavailability of services like Bill Pay and mobile check deposit from July 31 to August 3 may cause inconvenience, especially for those who use these services frequently. However, GECU's decision to advance direct deposits on July 31 will help mitigate the impact on customers who depend on timely access to their funds. As the upgrade aims to streamline back-end operations, El Paso customers can expect improved service in the long run. To ensure a smooth transition, customers should take note of the recommended steps to prepare for the upgrade, such as verifying contact information, updating bill pay, and making necessary transactions before the deadline. By being proactive, GECU customers can minimize the disruption and look forward to enhanced banking services after the upgrade is complete.
