Money Moves & P2P Payments

With Money Moves, you can send funds in real time. Whether your recipient needs an immediate deposit to a OneUnited account or a standard transfer to another bank, the process is seamless and backed by proactive fraud detection.

Total Card Control

Security is personal. With Card Control, you can freeze a lost/stolen card instantly, set location-based transaction blocks, and add your card to Apple Pay or Google Pay before the physical plastic even arrives in the mail.

Effortless Savings with AutoSave

Building a “rainy day” fund shouldn’t feel like a chore. AutoSave rounds up your debit card purchases to the nearest dollar and moves that change into your savings daily. It’s a tangible digital win you can “set and forget.”


The Gold Standard of Digital Security

In the digital era, security is the foundation of every transaction. OneUnited Bank utilizes Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption and 24/7 continuous monitoring to ensure your data stays private.

Pro-Tip for Safe Banking: OneUnited will never call, text, or email you asking for your password or one-time security codes. If you receive a high-pressure message asking to “verify” details, stop. Contact us directly using our official support channels.

Community-First Support

While we lead with technology, we are built on community. If you prefer a human touch, our branch staff is always ready to help you set up your mobile app and build your digital banking confidence.
