Getting Started

Getting Started

In order to use our Mobile Banking app, your device needs to be up to date with operating system updates from the manufacturer. To see which operating system is required for your device, view our app in the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. In the Apple App Store, view Compatibility in the Information section. In the Google Play Store, view "Requires Android" in the Additional Information section.

In order to use the SCU Mobile Banking app, you must be enrolled in Online Banking. If you are not yet enrolled, you can sign up from any page on our website by clicking the word Register in the bar at the top of the page. On the next page, click Register (located under the Log In button) and follow the prompts.

  1. Download the SCU Credit Union mobile banking app on your smartphone or tablet. 
    • For Apple devices, go to the Apple App Store here. To see device requirements, review "Compatibilty" in the Information section.
    • For Android devices, go to the Google Play Store here. To see device requirements, review "Requires Andriod"  in the Additional Information section.
  2. Open the app and enter your Online Banking Username and Password. If you are the only person with access to the device and you want your username to be saved, check the box next to Remember me. Tap Log In.
  3. You will be prompted to complete required two-factor authentication by having a code sent to a phone number or email address that is already on file for you in Online Banking. Select SMS (text), Email, or Call. If you have multiple phone numbers or emails on file, select which one you want the code sent to. Then tap Send code.
    • Tap the box next to Remember this device if you don't want to use two-factor authentication on this device in the future. You will have to enter a name for the device such as "My Cell Phone".
  4. Enter the six digit code and tap Verify. The code will only be valid for 15 minutes after it is sent. If you don't receive a code or the code has expired, tap Resend code. 
  5. You will be brought to the main screen of the app and will see your accounts and account balances. 

  1. If you forget your password and need to reset it, open the mobile app.
  2. On the log in screen, input your username and tap "Forgot Password?"
  3. Read the Forgot Password Disclosure and tap Agree.
  4. Enter your username, date of birth, email address you use for online banking and your zip code. Tap Continue.
  5. Select to receive a temporary password via SMS (text) or email.
  6.  Log in to mobile banking with your username and the temporary password. 
  7. Create a new password and use that new password going forward.

Two-Factor Authentication is a security feature for Online Banking that requires users to enter their username and password as well as a one-time use security code. This code will be sent via email, SMS (text) message or a phone call to an email address or phone number that is already on file. This security feature will be triggered every time you log in unless you select "Remember This Device"  when logging in. Starting with the next time you log in on that specific device, you will not be required to complete two-factor authentication. 

To enable two-factor authentication even on devices you've prompted the system to remember, you can turn Require Two-Factor Authentication For Each Login on in the Security tab of your Settings within Online Banking. Please note that you cannot adjust this setting within our mobile app.

If your device supports Touch ID or Face Recognition (Face ID), you can enable it for Mobile Banking.

  2. Tap Touch ID or Face ID to open the settings for that feature. 
  3. Tap the toggle next to Use Touch ID (or Use Face ID) to turn it on. 
  4. To disable either feature, revisit the settings for that feature and turn the toggle for the feature off.
