UCU Internet Banking – Traditional Banking Services That You Do Online

 


Internet banking has now become the most common form of banking in Canada. More Canadians are conducting their daily banking transactions online than in person at their local branch. They like the convenience of banking at a time and place that is suitable to them - using their computer, smartphone or tablet.

More and more UCU Members are using UCU’s Internet Banking Feature

Internet banking is a simple and secure way to bank. No need to re-arrange your day to schedule a time to get to your local UCU Branch during business hours - and no more waiting in line to see your local teller. Your everyday banking transactions can now be performed by you online anytime, anywhere.

UCU Members who use the UCU Internet Banking feature like: 

  • the convenience of having their updated account information at their fingertips
  • the ability to move money between their accounts
  •  the option to their pay bills online

Your Money is Safe and Secure with UCU Internet Banking

UCU’s top priority is the safety and security of your money. Preventative measures have been put in place to ensure your money and your data are protected. These measures include:

  • Extra layers of encryption – your banking information is turned into a numeric code as it travels between your computer and the UCU server which makes your data unreadable if accessed by a third party
  • Secure UCU server and firewalls – designed to be a barrier between the internet and your computer- keeping your data safe and hackers out
  • Several authentication steps – 2 tier password protection - you will need to input your user name and then enter a secure password to access your online profile – this validates your identity and prevents  anyone else to access your account
  • Timed log-outs - your home banking session ends after of a period of inactivity - this limits the amount of time your account information remains visible on your computer screen in case you forget to log out of your online banking session
  • Account login locks – your account will be locked if you - or someone else – enters your password incorrectly multiple times
