  1. Enter your login ID and password.
  2. Click Login.

  6. You will then be directed to the Account Overview page.

Why am I being required to register each computer/device I use to access Online/Mobile Banking?

In today’s online environment, login ID/password access to your financial information is no longer considered sufficient to securely verify your identity. Therefore, in addition to your login ID and password, our online verification requires us to deliver you a one-time piece of required information via something only you possess (for example, your email account or your telephone). Once you receive the additional piece of information (a secure access code) and enter it into our system, we will remember your computer and browser and mark your browser with a cookie and/or other browser-specific object.

Registering your computer adds a strong layer of security to your online accounts. This means that no other unregistered computer in the world has access to your online information, even if your login ID and password were accidentally or unintentionally compromised. Once we register your computer and browser, you will only be required to enter your login ID and password on future logins via the registered computer browser.

Fraud FAQs

What do your fraud prevention steps look like?

ACCU takes fraud prevention very seriously and takes a multi-layer approach to keeping our members information safe. This includes asking security questions when members make online or mobile transfers. These questions are based on your credit profile and are intended to verify your identity. We also highly encourage you to set up multi-factor authentication with your online and mobile banking services. If the transactions appear to be outside of your normal pattern, ACCU may call you to verify transactional information on your account. We will not ask you for personal information. For this reason, it’s important to keep your contact information up to date.

Do you offer fraud monitoring and alerts?

Yes, you can establish text, phone or email alerts from within online banking. This feature can be configured if a balance drops below or exceeds a specific amount; when a specific check clears; or when an account reaches maturity. Additionally, you can set up alerts for your ACCU Visa® debit or credit cards. That way, if we notice suspicious activity, we can send you an SMS text message asking you to confirm the transaction.
