Having issues with the new platform?

Below are some of the most frequently experienced issues and solutions we hope will help.


Account Recovery

We couldn’t find you.

To access online banking simply visit ussfcu.org and select the “Online Banking” button at the top of the page. You can also access the online banking platform directly at my.ussfcu.org. From there you can log in, enroll, or recover your password.

If this is your first time accessing online banking, you will need to enroll first. You will see the option to enroll under the username dialogue box on the log-in screen.

If you are a Joint Account Holder, you will need to call our Member Services Contact Center at 800.374.2758 or visit a branch to have a team member modify your account to allow online banking access.


Aggregators

My external app does not work. (Venmo, Apple Wallet, Mint, Plaid, Every Dollar, etc.)

Because we changed digital banking providers, your connection with the 3rd party app will need to be updated. Many of the apps are able to recognize a new connection and correct themselves.

The connection to aggregators like this is outside of our control. It is recommended to reach out to the provider directly for assistance. Let them know that your digital banking platform changed and to advise on next steps.


Alerts

My alerts from the previous platform do not display.

Alerts were one of the handful of things that couldn’t migrate from our previous platform. Unfortunately, you will need to set these up again.

Navigate to an account and choose the Settings option/Alert Preferences.


Authentication Code

I did not receive a code.

First try Resend Code from the code input screen.

If that doesn’t work, you can select Try Another Way. Navigate to the main log-in screen, select Forgot? and at the bottom of the Account Recovery screen you will see the option to select Try Another Way. You will then input your Account Number and Social Security Number to give you account access. This an encrypted and secure connection so this log-in method is safe and secure.

You will need to make sure that the phone number we have on your account matches the phone number you are expecting to receive a code.

Additionally, the phone number you are having the code sent to must be able to receive text messages if you are selecting that option. Otherwise select the phone call option and an automated call will relay the code.


Bill Pay

The mobile app does not allow me to schedule a payment.

You must enroll in Bill Pay through online banking using a desktop or laptop computer. Once you have enrolled through online banking, you will be able to use the mobile app to initiate payments.

Why am I being asked to re-enter my password?

Adding or editing Bill Payment information is considered a High-Risk Action and therefore will require an additional security step to complete.

My payees did not carry over to the new digital banking.

Please contact Support Services by calling 800.374.2758 then press 4 after the welcome.


Card Management

My debit/credit card does not work.

You may have locked your card. To check your card’s status, log into your account. Click on “Accounts” in the navigation, then select “Checking”. Transactions will be on your left and under the blue tiles will be “card management”.

If your card status states “Active”, it should be ready to use. If you do not want your card to be active, click on the card and in the next screen, toggle the switch from green to red. This will make your card inactive.

You will also see the option to report your card lost or stolen. ONLY DO THIS WHEN ABSOLUTLY NECESSARY. Once a card has been reported lost or stolen it is canceled out of our system and a new card must be issued and mailed out.

Enhanced Card Management features are now available! For more details, scroll down to the more expansive Card Management section at the bottom of this page.


Certificate Maturity Date

Maturity date does not display.

This is a known system issue and we have our programmers working to resolve the issue. To confirm your maturity date, please contact us at 800.374.2758.


E-statements

I am unable to view my complete statement.

Try another viewing option (pdf or HTML) from your original choice.

If mobile -- HTML works best due to prior issues with pdf on varying mobile devices.

Loans

I do not have a Midwest Mortgage. Why am I seeing this in my navigation?

Midwest Mortgage will display for all member regardless if they have a Midwest loan or not. Contact Member Services if you wish to disable these links from your online banking display.

I do not have a Student Loan. Why am I seeing this in my navigation?

Student Choice will display for all member regardless is they have a student loan or not. Contact Member Services if you wish to disable these links from your online banking display.

I do not see a link to my CUMA mortgage.

The CUMA link will need to be enabled once you log into Online Banking. You can contact Member Services at 800.374.2758 to activate the CUMA link.

External Transfers

Where can I make a bank-to-bank transfer?

Choose the Transfer quick-action button. Both Internal and validated External accounts will display in the "To" and "From" fields.

Use the drop-down menu to find the account you wish to transfer to or from.  If the external account is not listed, you will need to add that account and validate it with 2 micro-deposit amounts.

What is the cutoff time for external transfers?

The cutoff time has changed from 8PM to 5PM.  Transfers entered after 5PM will take an additional business day to process.

I don't see my external accounts.

You may need to re-enroll in External Accounts/bank-to-bank. If you are not sure, reach out to us at 800.374.2758.

Loan Applications

How do I apply for a loan?

Find the Dashboard menu and scroll down to the "Apply for a Loan" icon or the "My Applications" icon

How do I check my loan application status?

Mobile App: Find the slide-out menu by tapping the three horizontal bars in the top left corner of the display screen. Then tap “My Applications” from the menu.

Online Banking: Click on “My Application” at the bottom of the navigation menu on the right side of the screen.

Lockout

I am locked out.

Use Account Recovery procedures.  Click Forgot? then choose Try another way

Doing so takes you to an alternative way to log in where it asks for your member number and SSN/TIN in order to get in. You WILL NOT be able to use the email/username forgot flow to get in for the first time. 

I received a message that I have made too many attempts to log in. What do I do now?

If you previously used online banking, try again after 10-15 mins.  Remember, you must log in with your SSN + Account Number using the alternative method (Forgot?>Try another way) under Account Recovery.

If you have never used online/mobile banking, you must wait 24 hours after enrolling.

Member to Member Transfer

I do not see my cross-referenced accounts as an option for M2M transfers.

Cross-referenced accounts have been temporarily disabled due to an internal programming error.  The online banking team is working to resolve the issue but we do not have a time frame for when this feature will be available.

We can make the transfer for you if you call 800.374.2758.

Remote Deposit

I am unable to deposit a check.

You must enroll and be approved for Remote Deposit. Here is how to check your status.

    • From the mobile app, tap the slide-out menu (three horizontal bars) and choose Deposit checks.
    • Use the drop-down arrow to view Accounts.
    • Status must = Approved for Deposits

I don't see any accounts approved for remote deposit and I was previously enrolled.

If accounts do not display, it is possible that there was an error with importing your information to the new digital banking system.

To ensure the best experience, please re-enroll your accounts.

Are you receiving an error message?

Check must be properly endorsed “FOR USSFCU MOBILE DEPOSIT ONLY”

Have you exceeded your daily or monthly deposit limit?

RDA activity and limits are displayed below the AMOUNT field.

I do not see my deposit.

Sync your device by performing one of the following:

    1. Leave the app, enter PIN & reopen.
    2. Open the slide-out menu on the mobile app, then choose Accounts.
    3. In online banking, click the REFRESH button.

New Online and Mobile Banking

What is new in the digital banking system?

We think you will enjoy the convenience of:

  • Single sign-on for online and mobile banking
  • Consistency across all devices
  • Logging in with two-factor authentication
  • Adding notes, tags, and pictures to your transactions

Plus, check out what’s coming to our new mobile app

  • Easier access to credit card, mortgage, and bill pay information
  • Manage external transfers, mortgages, and multiple account profiles

Why did digital banking change?

You spoke and we listened. We are now simplifying our online and mobile banking into one platform. Our new digital banking experience provides convenience with enhanced security, new features and functionality.

Will I need to download a new app with the new digital banking?

Yes. The Apple app is available on the App Store and the Android app is available on Google Play. 

Do I need to re-enroll in digital banking on the new system?

There is no need to enroll in digital banking if you have previously enrolled in online banking. Log in with your existing online banking credentials on either the digital banking website or the new mobile banking app. If you are having trouble logging in, you can reset your password to recover access to your account.

If you have not previously used online banking, then you will have to go through the enrollment process.

Is text banking still offered?

Text banking is no longer available and has been replaced with digital banking through a more secure online and mobile experience.

Logging In

How do I access digital banking?

You can access the new digital banking and your account on a desktop, laptop, mobile phone, or other internet-accessible device. Simply log in with your existing online banking credentials to both online and mobile banking. There are two access points:

1) Visit our website and click Log In to get started

2) Download the NEW mobile banking app from the Google Play or Apple Store

Note: You will not be able to access the website via old bookmarks or the previous mobile banking app.

What is 2-Factor Authentication and why is it used by the digital banking system?

Two-Factor Authentication is a security measure that allows you to request a one-time access code to log in to digital banking. The code enhances the security by creating an added layer on top of your unique username and password. This security process helps to verify you and better protect your credentials and the accounts you can access.

When I log into digital banking, do I need to get a confirmation code every time I log in?

No. Check the “Don’t ask for codes again on this computer” box if you do not want to receive a confirmation code or phone call each time you log in. If you prefer to input a confirmation code with each use, you can leave the box unchecked or use the 2-Factor Authentication app to deliver the code. 

Note: If you ever want to remove a device and reset your security settings, you can change them in settings once logged in to digital banking.

How can I log in to digital banking if I can't get a verification code through text message?

Two-Factor authentication uses a unique one-time access code to verify identity and log on to digital banking. If you are unable to receive text (SMS) messages, you can choose to receive your access code via a phone call.

  • On the verification code screen click Try another way located beneath the Verify button
  • Select Phone Call and click Next
  • You will receive an automated phone call that will provide your access code (Have a pen and paper ready)
  • Return to the verification code screen
  • Enter your access code and click Verify

If you are still having trouble, contact the credit union to ensure we have the correct phone number on file.

Can I use an email for two-factor authentication?

An email and a phone number are required for the two-step authentication. The one-time access code will be sent via text or phone call. The phone number must match our records for the additional security layer to work correctly. 

Why am I getting the digital banking error: "Your account needs attention"?

This error is present during the log in process and typically means that your account has been locked. This can happen for a variety of reasons but is easily resolved. Please contact us via phone or chat for assistance unlocking your account.

Why am I getting the digital banking error: "Please verify your information and try again"?

This error is present during the log in process and typically means that your credentials didn't match our records. Try entering your credentials one more time. If the error persists, please contact us via phone or chat for further assistance.

Why am I getting the digital banking error: "Oops: The information you provided doesn't match what we have on file."?

This error is present during the log in process and typically means that your account information does not match our records. Please contact us via phone or chat to confirm we have the correct phone number and username on record.

I'm not able to log in to online banking when I click on the login button

You need to clear your cache in Chrome to remove all cookies. If you need further assistance, please contact us.

Why am I getting the digital banking error: "Incorrect phone number"?

Why am I getting the digital banking error: "It looks like you've already enrolled"?
