In online banking go to My ACU, under Settings, click Password and follow the instructions.

In the mobile app, navigate to the menu “≡”, select Settings then tap Password and follow the instructions.

You must have a valid mobile phone number or email address on file to complete this action.

Please contact us to reset your password.

Both fingerprint and facial recognition will be available on the new mobile platform, if your mobile device supports it.

Enabling Touch ID for mobile banking will grant access and full mobile banking functionality to any person whose fingerprints are saved on your device. We strongly recommend against enabling Touch ID if anyone else has or might gain access to your device and its security password.

Yes, you always have the option to sign in with your username or 16-digit debit card number and password. Just tap “Cancel” when the app asks for your fingerprint.

One-time security codes provide an additional layer of protection that safeguards sensitive information and certain online banking activities. It’s a numeric security code (up to 7 digits) that you will receive via text message to your mobile phone or to your  email address when you perform certain activities.  The code is time sensitive and valid only for a limited amount of time. Here are some examples of when one-time passcodes are used:

• Register for online banking
• First time you sign in to online banking
• Add a new bill vendor
• Update contact information
• Change or reset your password
• Transfer funds to other members
• Add an Interac e-Transfer® recipient

First, check your spam or junk folder. If you don’t find it there, click resend the code on your confirmation screen to try it again.

If you have a mobile phone number on file with us the verification code will automatically send the code to your mobile phone number. If you choose to have the code sent to your email address, you will receive a second code. The second code sent is the one that you should use.

You can create favourite transactions to make repeat transfers to the people you regularly send money to. To do this, simply click the favourites icon after completing a transaction.

Bill payments made after 10:20 pm will be processed with the following day’s date. The payments will be processed by 10:20 pm the following day. You can view and/or delete your bill payments in your list of Scheduled Payments until the time payments are processed.

Please note that vendor settlement times vary. To ensure your bill payments are received before the due date, submit your bill payment at least three (3) business days prior to the due date.

This is not a scam. If you use email notifications to receive Interac e-Transfers, your Interac Autodeposit registration will expire after 365 days of inactivity – meaning you haven’t received an Interac e-Transfer within 365 days. 

If you use your mobile device to accept Interac e-Transfers, your Interac Autodeposit registration will expire after 90 days of inactivity. This is because mobile numbers can be reused or are transferred to new users more frequently than email addresses.

You can view your eStatements for the past seven years.

Simply sign in to online or mobile banking and change your settings.

1. Sign in to ACU’s digital banking
2. If you’re using online banking click My ACU, under Settings, click Statement preferences. If you’re using the mobile banking app, navigate to your menu “=”, select Settings and tap Statement preferences

In each statement account section, you will see a button ("v" icon), followed by an "Account details" label. When you click on that button, a subsection will expand, displaying all the accounts that are merged with that primary account. We call that the statement account.

In the Paper Statement column, you can click the toggle button to turn paper statements "OFF" or "ON". If the toggle is in the "OFF" position, it will have no colour, meaning it is disabled and you will not receive paper statements. If the toggle is "ON", you will see that it is green, meaning that you will receive a paper statement.

Digital banking displays all accounts you have signing authority on. You can change the way your accounts display so that you see only the accounts you want to see.

In online banking, select Accounts, under Accounts click Customize accounts. In the “Visible” column, you can click the toggle button to make accounts visible or not. If the toggle is in the "OFF" position, it will have no colour, meaning it is disabled and that account won’t be visible. If the toggle is "ON", you will see that it is green, meaning that account is visible. Select which accounts you want to be able to see, then click Save.

Yes, you can download your account activity to the following software programs:

• CSV*
• PDF (PDF is the only program available with the mobile banking app)
• Microsoft Money (OFX)

The appropriate software must be loaded in your personal computer to access the downloaded content. Please refer to the Help section in those programs for assistance. You can also refer to the program support website for further information and assistance.

*CSV files are for spreadsheet programs.

In mobile banking, navigate to the menu “≡”, select Accounts and then View Transactions. At the bottom of the screen, click Share. You then have the option to save to a PDF and print it from there.
