37 Sprint Verification Methods
Verification is easy and only takes a few minutes to complete. There are three ways to verify credit union membership: 1. Visit from a mobile device Members need to black out all confidential information on their documentation prior to faxing. 2. Free Invest in America app for Android and/or iPhone iPhone users can find it at the Apple App Store Android users can find the app in the Android Market Members just need to search for “Invest in America” Members will be prompted to black out all confidential information within the app right on their phone This app also lists all other Invest in America discounts 3. Fill out and fax the Sprint verification form and supporting documents to the Sprint Corporate Accounts: or toll free: Members need to black out all confidential information on their documentation prior to faxing.

38 Verification & Sprint’s AutoPay
For members paying their Sprint monthly bill through Sprint’s AutoPay option from their credit union checking account or credit union debit/credit card, verification is as easy as it gets. Members sign up for Sprint’s AutoPay online using their credit union account (checking, credit card or debit card). Sprint pulls the R&T and credit/debit card BIN numbers monthly and verifies credit union membership for all accounts being paid through Sprint’s AutoPay from a credit union account via the above methods. These members are validated monthly each time the report is pulled and members verified through this process have no need to go through any other verification process. CU Solutions Group and Sprint are investigating the possibilities of expanding the automatic payment verification option when automatic payment is set up through the credit union online banking or for members who make payments using a credit union credit or debit card.

39 What Credit Unions Can Do
• Post information regarding Sprint verification to their credit union Web site: – QRC to the Invest in America App – Verification Form – Tutorial (video) – Benefits • Include the verification newsletter article in multiple newsletters • Add the QRC to the Invest in America app to: statements, Web site, newsletter • Educate frontline staff of the verification process • Connect with local Sprint store representative (keep their business cards at teller stations to refer members requesting additional information or assistance) • Make sure to have the most up‐to‐date Sprint literature with the QRC • Communication, communication, communication!
