Getting started

How do I log in to the app for the first time?

You will need to know your member number and Online Banking access code to then register on the mobile app.

You will then be prompted to set a PIN or pattern or continue using member number to log in.  After this you can set some biometrics depending on your device (Touch ID or Face ID).
