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.
