+ What devices are supported with the ChristianFCU Banking App?

+ Why are you changing Online and Mobile Banking?

- We always strive to provide products and services that are easy and convenient for members. In addition, we want to provide tools and resources that help members manage credit and debt, and make budgeting easier. We're excited to be able to offer so much more functionality, convenience and value to our digital experience.

+ Will my username stay the same? 

- In some cases, yes. If your current Username is your member number (only a series of numbers, no letters), you will be prompted to change it upon first login for your security.

+ Did my password change?

- When you log into Online or Mobile Banking on Feb. 13th for the first time, yes your password will be different. You will log in with a first time temporary password that looks like this:   First Initial Uppercase + Last Initial Uppercase + Month of Birth (2 Digits) + Last 4 of SSN   Once you log in successfully you'll be prompted to change your password.

+ Where are my security questions? 

- Your security questions have been replaced with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and the use of One-Time Passcodes. These security measures utilize a trusted device, such as a mobile phone or email address, to deliver a code to verify your identity. MFA helps provide a strong layer of protection for your account and sensitive financial information.

+ Do I have to enter an access code (or MFA) every time I log in?

- You only have to authenticate your devices the first time. This is used to ensure that each future login attempt is made by the same user on the same device. If you clear your cache or cookies from a device, you will have to authenticate the device again. You can have up to two (2) devices authenticated at a time.

+ I used this new password but it's not working. What am I doing wrong?

- Make sure you are using the information for the person linked to the account. If you and your spouse, for example, share a login, make sure you take note of who the Online Banking login actually belongs to - and use the information for that person.

+ Do I have to log into Online Banking for the first time on the new system, or can I log into Mobile Banking first?

- For consumer accounts, no you can log in for the first time on any device. For Business accounts, you will need to log in to desktop Online Banking first before you can successfully log into mobile banking.
