Multi-Factor Authentication
What is Multi-Factor Authentication?
We're constantly reviewing and enhancing our online security measures to ensure that your money is safe and secure. We have added Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to our online and mobile banking to add an extra security layer to your accounts across the internet and within our mobile. MFA means your accounts require information beyond username and password to confirm you are who you say you are before you can get into your accounts. This multi-step process ensures that you are the only person that can access your account, even if someone has your password.
How does Multi-Factor Authentication work?
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) requires you to identify yourself with not one, but two factors. Your user ID and password count as one form of authentication. If you have already used your computer and browser to login to online banking, the computer serves as your second factor because it has a stored cookie file. Similarly once you log in to your mobile app with MFA, your app will serve as the second factor of authorization for logins moving forward. However If you visit online banking using a machine without this cookie file, have your browser set to automatically clear cookies or login to your mobile app on a new device, it generates a Verification Code and sends it to you via a method that only you would have access to read, such as your mobile phone (via text) or personal email.
Do I need to enroll in Multi-Factor Authentication?
No, this is an automatic security measure that will be added to your account to ensure you're the only person that can access it.
Why does my info have to be updated?
Once Multi-Factor Authentication is live, whenever you sign in on a new browser, computer or mobile device, you will be asked to verify your identity via a code that will be sent to via either email or text. If you do not have these items updated, you will not receive your verification code and therefore be unable to access your account. While you may opt to have the verification code sent to EITHER your email or mobile device, we recommend having all information updated in case there is an issue with spam filters on your email provider.
Mobile Deposit
How do I make a check deposit?
On the Android and iPhone apps, tap the plus (+) sign at the bottom of the screen and choose Remote Deposit. Use your device’s camera to take a photo of both sides of the check.
How do I endorse the check for mobile deposit?
Write for remote deposit only and sign your name on the back of the check.
Debit Cards
What should I do if I think I have lost my Visa debit card?
Our online and mobile banking app both allow you to block your debit card. If you locate your card, you can log back in to unblock your card to start using it again. If you do not locate it, please contact the credit union to permanently restrict the card and order a new card number.
How do I set up alerts for my debit card?
