How can I stop automatic payments from my account?

If the payment is a periodical payment that you set up in Grand Alliance Federal Credit Union Online, you can login to Grand Alliance Federal Credit Union Online and follow these steps to stop the payment. 

If the automatic payment is a direct debit coming from an external merchant or biller, you may contact us and give us recognised instructions to place a stop payment on the Direct Debit. Alternatively, Direct Debits may be cancelled directly with the merchant/company they were established with. This will ensure your payment is cancelled within the conditions of your agreement with them.

Please note: In order to ensure that no further payments are debited to your account, when processing your recognised instruction to place a stop payment on the direct debit, all future direct debits from that particular debit user will be stopped.

If you believe a direct debit to your account was not authorised, you can either:

  • contact us and give us recognised instructions to dispute the transaction (in which case we will investigate the transaction and tell you about our findings); or
  • contact the direct debit user and dispute the transaction with them.
