“Does Arvest do automatic funds transfers from my account to another Arvest customer? Such as a church?"

Monday, November 10 at 03:30 PM

For situations that require automatic funds transfer from your account to another account owned by an individual or business, Arvest offers two convenient methods of transferring funds. The first option is to visit an Arvest branch and request a Funds Transfer. The customer will supply the name of the account in which she wishes to transfer funds from, as well as the fixed dollar amount of the transfer and the date (i.e. the 15th day of each month, every other Friday, etc.) on which the transfer will occur. The customer will also be asked to give the account name, account number and routing number of the account into which the funds will be transferred. 

The second option is to set up payments through Arvest online BillPay, which will allow Arvest customers to make changes in the amount, date and frequency of the funds transfer, or will have the option to set it up as a recurring payment.  Although the payment is not automatically deposited into the account, it is an efficient way to send money to a third party.

Both options are simple and convenient ways in which anyone can set up regular transfers or payments. Visit any Arvest branch or sign up for Online BillPay to manage your funds transfers today!

How long will it take for the funds to be deposited into the Third Party account? 1 week?

 Can I set up the same payment plan to a person using another bank?  When I checked out BillPay's 3 options, the "Company with an account number" didn't give me an option to put in the routing number; and transferring to a "Person" didn't give any account info either?

Even if the transfer is to another Arvest banker, I think this post could use a follow-up in explaining step by step in how it's done.  As it is, there is just a link to Online BillPay.  There is no explanation as to whether I would make the transfer to a "Company" or "Person."  Thanks..

Aaron - Thank you for your clarification question.   There is not a way to do automatic transfers from one Arvest Bank customer's account to another Arvest Bank customer's account unless someone is an authorized to manage both accounts. 

To utilize BillPay to pay another party, you would schedule a payment to a "Person", however the payment is delivered via check vs. an electronic deposit.  This is convenient for you because you don't have to write or mail the check and can schedule either a recurring payment or a future payment to an individual.  However, it can be inconvenient for the recipient since they would then have to have the check deposited.
