Getting Started

Welcome to electronic banking services. We are pleased to offer you a convenient way to transfer funds and check balances. Here are a few things you will need to know:

Definitions
Member Number — This is your Account Number plus your three digit code which can be found on your quarterly statement. Example: XXXXX-01X. When you enter your Member Number do not use the dash (XXXXXXXX).

Primary PIN— This is the last four digits of your Social Security Number.

Online ID — This is your unique name you make up and use to logon to Online Banking. This name must be between 6 and 50 characters long.

Security Code — This will be your password. Once you complete the logon for the first time your Security Code can be changed to a password of your choice. Your Security Code is not time sensitive and will only change when you change it.

Complete Enhanced Authentication — Select a picture, give it a name or phrase, and answer the three security questions.

Once you have this information gathered you will be ready to start the enrollment process. If for any reason you get an error message, please write down the message and contact the credit union office at 615.936.0300.

If you have changed any information or do not have the correct information at the VUCU in our system, you will not be able to complete your registration. Please update your information at our office before enrolling. If for any reason you do not have the information needed to enroll, please stop by the VUCU office with a photo ID to obtain the information. If you have any problems getting started or with any of the service features, please contact us at 615.936.0300.

We hope you enjoy the convenience of these services. Please feel free to give us your comments using the Mail feature included.

 

About Security
Your online security is very important to us. We take several precautions to ensure your information is secure.

To access our secure area, you must enter your Logon ID and Security Code. As a security precaution, we store your Security Code in our database in an encrypted format that even we cannot decode. In addition, Enhanced Authentication provides extra protection for your online data and helps guard against phishing scams and identity theft by recognizing your computer and usage patterns. If a questionable logon attempt is detected, the system will require additional identity verification before allowing access.

The system also displays a secret image and phrase combination that you choose. This secret image and phrase is displayed each time you log on to reassure you that you are logging on to your actual Internet banking or bill payment site. If you do not see your image and phrase, you should not enter your Security Code.

Other online security measures include:

• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to ensure that your connection and any information transmitted is protected.
• 128-bit encryption to make your information unreadable as it passes over the Internet (if your browser doesn't support SSL or 128-bit encryption, you will need to upgrade your browser).
• Automatic time out that occurs if you are inactive in the secure area of our site for more than 10 minutes.

While we continue to evaluate and implement the latest improvements in Internet security technology, users of the system also have responsibility for the security of their information and should always follow the recommendations listed below:

• Utilize current versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Netscape browsers.
• Keep your Security Code confidential.
• Be sure others are not watching you enter information on the keyboard when using the system.
• Never leave your computer unattended while logged on to the system. Others may approach your computer and gain access to your account information if you walk away.
• Exit the system when you are finished to properly end your session. Once a session has ended, no further transactions can be processed until you log on to the system again.
• Close your browser when you are finished, so that others cannot view any account information displayed on your computer.
• Keep your computer free of viruses. Use virus protection software to routinely check for a virus on your computer. Never allow a virus to remain on your computer while accessing the system.
