How do I get started with digital banking?

We are excited you are taking this step! First, you will need to create a profile.

  1. Go to the login screen and enter your Member Card® debit card number (or your virtual card number assigned by TCU Financial Group) and click ‘Continue.’
  2. Enter your date of birth and the mobile phone number of email address associated with your account. Click ‘Continue.’
  3. A popup window will display asking for the code you received by text message or email. Enter the code and click ‘Continue.’
  4. Enter a new username (username cannot be your debit card number). Be sure you choose something memorable, appropriate to you, tough for others to guess, and is something different than your debit card number as this cannot be changed.
  5. Enter a new password (following the password rules provided).
  6. Re-enter password for verification.
  7. Read and acknowledge the direct service agreement and click ‘Continue.
  8. Confirm details and click 'Create user profile'.

If you forget your username, you may be able to use your debit card number as an alternative login method. You also can contact us and we can assist with recovering your username.

Or if you require immediate assistance, please call 1-877-828-4343.

Small Business Digital Banking FAQs

How does small business differ from personal digital banking?

Small business digital banking offers the same features as personal digital banking, with the addition of some powerful features to help you save time and money. Within small business digital banking, you can:

  • Manage your delegates:
    • Create and set up delegates as Initiator or Read-only. Provides delegates with their own login ID and password so they can log in separately. For example, you can select view-only status for your accountant and initiator status for an employee who pays your bills.
    • Add/modify delegate(s) securely and easily within your small business online banking. You can manage this aspect yourself, where you can add, edit or delete delegates (if needs change). You can also temporarily disable delegates' access (when employees are on holidays or on leave). Other signers on the business can also delete your delegates, if required.
    • Unlock your delegates if their account is locked through entering the wrong login information three times. You can also change the delegate's password (PAC).
  • Consolidate accounts so you can see personal and business accounts with just one login.
  • Set up dual signers on business accounts that require two people to approve transactions. (You can have as many signers as the organization requires, but you only need 2 to sign for dual signature).
  • Manage your accounts anytime; anywhere through mobile access with our Banking App and Mobile Web Banking (this option is only available for signers. Delegates can only access small business digital banking through the full website).
  • Create a similar transaction (based on previous transactions) to reduce the amount of steps to make the same transaction.
  • Manage your Small Business Alerts. Stay informed when you need to approve transactions or if you have transactions that are about to expire. You can view small business alerts by email or text message anywhere, anytime. (Text messaging rates may apply.) Set up is needed before alerts will be received.

As a signer on the business, we need to authenticate you as an individual. It’s important that your personal information (date of birth, email address and cellphone number) in your file is up to date so we can validate who you are.

You can update your personal information by calling us at 1-877-828-4343.

Delegates are people such as an accountant, bookkeeper or employees who can be granted limited access to small business digital banking. Delegates can be created by any one of the authorized signers that have small business digital banking access.

Delegates will have their own login (starts with a 'D') and their own password (PAC). Delegates will be able to see the accounts and associated transactions related to the Login ID the business signer sets up for them.

Delegates can be set up with:

  • Initiator access. Allows delegates to create transactions for the authorized signer(s) to approve without making the delegate an actual signer on the account(s). Delegate can initiate transactions like a bill payment, transfer, or INTERAC e-Transfer. The Initiator delegate can also create a similar transaction from previous transactions or recall a transaction (prior to approval). Initiated transactions require approval by the signer(s) in order to complete the transaction.
  • Read-only access. Allows delegates to view account information, but does not allow them to perform any transactions on the account.
  • Login to digital banking via desktop or tablet (can’t be done on the app just yet)
  • Select ‘Business services’
  • Click ‘Delegate management’
  • Click ‘Add delegate’
  • Enter delegate username (5-35 alphanumeric characters)
  • Enter the name of the delegate
  • Click the radio button to select the access level - initiator or read-only
  • Click the radio button to select how the password will be received (email or mobile number)
  • Enter the email
  • Enter the mobile phone
  • Type in any notes that apply to the delegate
  • Accept express consent
  • Click ‘Continue’
  • Review details and click ‘Continue’
  • An authentication code will then be sent to you by email or text message and simply enter the received code into enter code field and click ‘Continue’
  • Delegate added successfully
  • The delegate will now receive their temporary password via email or text

Notes on Delegates:

  • There is no maximum number of delegates that can be set up
  • Once the username is selected it cannot be changed
  • The username will need to be communicated to the delegate separately
  • Any account signer can add, view, or edit a delegate.
  • TCU Financial Group does not have access to your delegates so we are unable to add, edit, delete, lock or reset their password on your behalf.

The security question verifies the recipient’s identity and protects your funds from being received by the wrong person. The question must be answered correctly in order to complete the deposit process. It is the sender’s responsibility to create a security question and answer known only to the recipient.

Guidelines for the security answer:

  • The answer must be one word.
  • The answer must not contain any blank spaces.
  • The answer is not case sensitive and letters and/or numbers are accepted.
  • The answer cannot contain special characters (i.e., &, $, etc.).
  • The answer should be kept strictly confidential between the sender and recipient.
  • The security question and/or answer must not be included in the optional message attached to the Interac e-Transfer transaction.

TCU Financial Group members can accept an Interac e-Transfer® transaction. Money received by email will be deposited directly into your personal or business TCU Financial Group account.

  1. Click or tap the link in the email or text notification indicating you have received a new Interac e-Transfer transaction.
  2. Skip over 'Find your Financial Institution' as this will not populate TCU Financial Group Credit Union.
  3. Select Province as 'Saskatchewan' first, then credit union as 'TCU Financial Group Credit Union.'
  4. Choose the TCU Financial Group Credit Union account into which you wish to deposit the money.
  5. Log in to Digital Banking to deposit the funds.

It is advisable to set up Autodeposit, which is not only convenient but provides more security. See How to set up Autodeposit.

When receiving an Interac e-Transfer for the first time in the new Digital Banking platform (launched on March 18, 2022) and if you had received Interac e-Transfers previously, you may be presented with the TCU Financial Group name and logo. If this is the case, please follow these steps:

  1. Bypass selecting TCU Financial Group/clicking on the logo
  2. Scroll down to “Select a different financial institution”.
  3. Select TCU Financial Group Credit Union from the list.

The reason for this is due to your device remembering where to go, which is the old platform that is no longer there.

Once you do this for the first time, your device should remember where to go (which is the new digital banking) and you would not have to repeat these steps.

Accept an Interac e-Transfer Demo

You can cancel an Interac e-Transfer® transaction before it has been deposited by the recipient.

An Interac e-Transfer can only be cancelled if the status has changed to ‘Recipient Notified’, then you will have the option to cancel or resend the notice.

  1. Log in to digital banking.
  2. Click ‘Transfers & Payments’ (on the app tap the Menu icon, then Transfers) and choose ‘pending Interac e-Transfer transactions.’
  3. Find the transfer you wish to cancel and click the ‘cancel’ button.
  4. Choose the account in which to deposit the reclaimed funds.
  5. Click ‘continue’.
  6. Review your information and click ‘confirm’ to cancel the transfer.

If you have been notified of an undeliverable Interac e-Transfer transaction due to an incorrect e-mail address, you can readdress and resend the transfer.

 Here's how:

  • Edit your recipient information to include the valid email address.
  • Select the Resend Notification from the Pending Transfer screen.
  • Click Confirm.

An email notice will be resent to the recipient's valid email address.

An email and/or SMS text message notifying the recipient of their Interac e-Transfer transaction is sent shortly after the sender completes the Interac e-Transfer transaction. Once the recipient receives notification, they can complete the deposit process, usually within just a few minutes of the transfer being sent!

NOTE: If your recipient’s Financial Institution does not subscribe to the Interac e-Transfer service, they can still deposit their funds using the Acxsys Transfer process. This method of depositing an Interac e-Transfer transaction generally takes 3-5 business days, although it may take longer.


If you provided an invalid email address, you will be notified via email that the transfer notification was undeliverable. You can readdress and resend the transfer or cancel the pending transfer and the original amount (less the service charge, if applicable) will be credited back to your account.

If you provided an invalid email address, but did provide a valid mobile phone number, you will not be notified by email that the transfer was undeliverable.

If you have provided an invalid mobile phone number and chose to notify your recipient by mobile phone only, you will not be notified in any way that the text message did not go through.

If you provided an incorrect email address however it was valid (meaning that it went to someone you had not intended), it will be delivered. The funds can only be accepted if the recipient is able to answer your security question. Having a very strong, hard to guess or research answer to your security question is an important step in securing your transfer.

Interac e-Transfer® limits are in place to protect you and your financial institution. If you have any questions regarding your limits, you have a couple options to learn more.

Set up Interac e-Transfer Autodeposit Demo

You will receive a notification by email every time you receive funds through the Autodeposit feature, letting you know that money has been deposited into your designated account and the details associated with the transfer (from who and any messages provided by the sender).

Transfers can only be cancelled if they haven't been deposited. To cancel an Interac e-Transfer transaction, you need to login to your online banking account and locate the transfer in the Interace-Transfer Pending Transfers or Transfer History list. If the transfer doesn't have a 'cancel' link beside it then the deposit has completed and can no longer be cancelled.

First, notify the person ahead of time you will be sending the request.

Then: 

  1. Log in to digital banking.
  2. Hover over ‘Transfers & Payments’ from the navigation menu (if using the TCU Financial Group CU app navigate Menu > Interac e-Transfer > Request money).
  3. Find Interac e-Transfer and click ‘Request money’.
  4. Select a contact.
  5. Enter the amount.
  6. Enter the invoice number (optional).
  7. Enter the payment due date (optional).
  8. Enter a message (optional).
  9. Select the account to deposit the funds to. Your main/favourite account displays as default.
  10. Check that you have obtained consent from your contact.
  11. Click ‘Continue’.
  12. Confirm the transaction details.
  13. Click ‘Confirm’.
  14. Enter One Time Passcode (OTP) sent to your phone or email (which ever you choose the OTP to be sent to).
  15. Click ‘Continue’.
  16. Request money success message is displayed.


We are excited to introduce auto reclaim to Interac e-Transfer transactions. If a receiver doesn’t deposit funds from an Interac e-Transfer, the funds will automatically be deposited back into your account. This can happen when:

  • The receiver declines the Interac e-Transfer.
  • The receiver exceeds the number of attempts permitted to answer your question.
  • The Autodeposit fails.

The recipient will receive email or text reminders of the outstanding transfer 7 days after it has been sent, then again at 14, 21 and 28.

After 30 days, the transfer will expire and the recipient will no longer be able to deposit the funds. At that time the sender will be notified and can cancel the expired transfer to redeposit the funds.

The sender will be notified by email when an Interac e-Transfer transaction cannot be completed because:

  • The recipient declined the transfer.
  • The 30-day time period for the recipient to claim the transfer has expired.
  • The email address you entered for your recipient is invalid.
  • The recipient was unable to answer the security question.
  • Once the sender receives this notification, they can follow the links in the message to cancel and re-deposit the funds. Service charges are non-refundable.

There are several error messages which can be generated while using the Interac e-Transfer service, which may include the following:

  • Exceeds sending or receiving limits - per transaction, per day, per week (rolling total) or per month (rolling total).
  • The account you are attempting to send from or deposit to is restricted from use with this feature.
  • The communication between online banking and your credit union’s banking system has timed out.
  • The contact information for your recipient or your profile may not be set up correctly.
    • Interac e-Transfer contact:
      1. Check the contact details for your recipient.
      2. Ensure the notification method matches the contact type you have entered. For example, if you have the email, ensure the notification method is also email; mobile phone is mobile phone for the notification; and if both then the notification method shows both email and mobile phone.
      3. Try sending the e-Transfer again.

To illustrate, here are steps using email only: When logged into digital banking, navigate to Interac e-Transfer > Manage contacts > Edit contact > delete cell number > change notification method to email only > save changes.

    • Interac e-Transfer profile:
      1. Ensure the notification method matches the contact type you have entered. For example, if you have the email, ensure the notification method is also email; mobile phone is mobile phone for the notification; and if both then the notification method shows both email and mobile phone.
      2. Try accepting the e-Transfer again.

To illustrate, here are steps using both: When logged into digital banking, navigate to Interac e-Transfer > Profile settings > ensure email and mobile phone are entered > notification method to email and mobile phone > save changes.

  • For assistance with any of these issues, please contact us at 1-877-828-4343 and we would be happy to help you.
When trying to accept and deposit an Interac e-Transfer for the first time in the new system, if you select the first TCU Financial Group option that is recommended by Interac you may get a 404 error message. This is because Interac is recommending an old link that longer exists. To accept an Interac e-Transfer for the first time using the system, click on “Select a different financial institution,” navigate to Saskatchewan credit unions, and find TCU Financial Group through that method. After you have successfully accepted an Interac e-Transfer, Interac will update the link associated with the first TCU Financial Group option so that it can be selected in the future.

Account Security

What is a one-time passcode (OTP)?

One-time security codes provide an additional layer of protection that safeguards sensitive information and certain online banking activities. It’s a numeric security code (up to 7 digits) that you will receive via text message to your mobile phone or to your email address when you perform certain activities. The code is time sensitive and only valid for one transaction. Here are some examples of when one-time passcodes are used:

  • Register for digital banking
  • First time you sign into digital banking
  • Add a new bill payee
  • Update your contact information
  • Change or reset your password
  • Transfer funds to other TCU Financial Group members
  • Add an Interac e-Transfer® recipient

Just like any other form of banking, we all play in helping ensure our activity is done safely.

  • Exercise caution when it comes to sending or receiving money.
  • Only send money to people you know and trust, just as you would cash. An INTERAC e-Transfer transaction cannot be reversed once a recipient has deposited the funds.
  • Always use a strong password that cannot easily be guessed or found – and make sure you share it via a safe, and different channel.
  • Better yet: Suggest that your recipient set up INTERAC e-Transfer Auto-deposit for ease and added security.

Too often in the news we hear stories where the transfer is sent to the wrong email address or intercepted by a fraudster who has hacked an email address and the scammer is able to easily answer the question. Do not ask questions such as:

  • What month is my birthday?
  • What is my daughter’s name?
  • What team do I cheer for?

For many of us, those answers can be easily answered with a quick search of our social media feed.

We suggest that you create a unique question and send it to your recipient by another channel, like a text message if you are sending the transfer by email, and ensure it is kept confidential. It might be an extra step, but it is one that can help ensure your money ends up where you intended it.

This type of transfer is designed to be as secure as possible. You are not sending money by email or text message: Only the notification travels over the Internet to advise the recipient that the transfer has been initiated and to provide instructions on how to deposit the money. Your money is always residing with your financial institution, like TCU Financial Group Credit Union, and is transferred through existing payment networks that banks and credit unions have used for years to settle cheques, bank machine deposits and withdrawals. Security measures have been built into the system, including:

  • Encryption technology
  • Confidential user IDs and passwords issued by financial institutions
  • Secure login process
  • A security question and answer to ensure only the intended recipient receives the money
  • 128-bit browser encryption

Always make sure you have entered the correct mobile phone number each time you wish to send money via INTERAC e-Transfer. Some common reasons why your contacts may not be able to receive notifications could be:

  • The phone number entered is a land line.
  • You entered a non-Canadian mobile phone number.
  • The recipient has blocked Interac e-Transfer notifications from being sent to his/her mobile phone number.
  • The recipient is encountering technical issues on his/her mobile phone and therefore the message cannot be delivered (e.g., mobile network unavailable)
  • The Mobile Network Operator does not support all text messages

Governance

What is the role of the board?

TCU Financial Group’s board of directors is responsible for overseeing and stewarding the credit union’s operations on behalf of members.

While management oversees the day-to-day operation of the credit union, the board provides guidance on long-range objectives, determines policy and monitors the credit union’s overall progress.

Elections are held annually, with directors typically serving three-year terms. A call for nominations is issued to all TCU Financial Group members with those interested in standing for election asked to complete and submit nomination forms.

The nomination form advises candidates of the skills & attributes the credit union is specifically looking for and encourages expressions of interest from candidates who reflect a diversity of ages, genders and ethnicities/cultures.

A few weeks before the annual general meeting, notices are posted in-branch and online with information on the candidates, along with instructions on how to vote. The voting period typically runs for about two weeks, and closes before the annual general meeting. Results are announced at the annual general meeting, posted on the credit union’s website and in-branch.

Voting is currently conducted online or by mail-in ballot. All voting takes place before the annual general meeting and results are announced at the AGM.

Our Annual General Meeting will be held online using the Zoom video conference platform on Wednesday, April 24, 2024. Registration information will be posted in the Member News section.

We are always looking for qualified individuals who would be interested in filling future vacancies on our board of directors. If you are interested in learning more about being a director of TCU Financial Group, please email governance@tcu.sk.ca.

To contact the board, please email governance@tcu.sk.ca.

Other FAQs

My debit card is expiring soon, but I haven’t received a replacement yet. What should I do?

In the event that your current debit card shows an expiry date that is scheduled soon, don’t worry – expiry dates have been extended, and your card will continue to function as normal until you receive a new debit card. There is currently a worldwide material shortage which has delayed the production of many types of cards, and this is an issue that financial institutions across the globe are managing.

To order a new debit card, we encourage you to call the MemberLine at 1-877-828-4343or stop by your nearest branch and TCU Financial Group’s team will be happy to assist.
