Interac e-Transfers®: Funds are available immediately. No hold placed on funds.

Incoming Me-to-Me Transfers: Funds placed on hold  up to 8 calendar days prior to availability.

Remote Cheque Deposits: Funds placed on hold  up to 7 calendar days prior to availability.

AutoDeposit is a feature within the Interac e-Transfer^®   service that enables users to save time when accepting an Interac e-Transfer^®.

It is enabled by registering your email address with Interac and allows you to receive funds directly into an assigned account without the need to select your financial institution or answer a security question.

When sending an Interac e-Transfer  , the sender is made aware in online banking that you are registered for AutoDeposit.

A Payment Request is another Interac e-Transfer^® feature that enables you to send an email request for someone to pay you through a secure online email.

When the recipient of a Payment Request receives the request, the recipient is provided with easy instructions to pay and, providing the recipient agrees to make the payment, funds are deposited directly into your account.

Effective June 1, 2018, Interac e-Transfers^® are classified as day-to-day transactions and a day-to-day transaction fee will be applied when you send or request an Interac e-Transfer^® depending on your banking package or the savings account that you send the Interac e-Transfer^® from. Please refer to our Personal Service Fees for further information.

If the transaction has not yet been received by the recipient, you can choose to cancel the transaction from the Pending e-Transfers screen. If the transaction has already been completed and funds deposited to the receiver, contact Member Connect Toll Free: 1 866 900 3822.

Interac e-Transfers^® expire 30 days after they’re sent or requested. After 30 days, the recipient will not be able to receive and deposit the funds. Senders and requestors can send reminder notices to recipients from the Pending e-Transfers screen in online banking. If a recipient fails to receive and deposit funds within 30 days, the sender will be notified by email to deposit the funds back into their account, with the exception of any non-refundable Service fee(s).

Q: What is 2-Step Verification?

A: 2-Step Verification is the new heightened industry standard for account protection. It means that when you log in to your online banking profile, prior to gaining access to your account, you will receive a verification code sent by text, voice call and/or email.  You then have 10 minutes to enter that code to access your online profile.

Q: Is 2-Step Verification required?

A: Yes. All Members who use online banking must enroll in 2-Step Verification as it provides a higher level of security.

Q: Will security challenge questions still be required?

A: No. After enrolment in 2-Step Verification, challenge questions and answers will be eliminated since 2-Step Verification, which is based on codes valid for only a few minutes, are more secure.

Q: Can I register for 2-Step Verification via both SMS Text, Voice Call and Email?

A: Yes, however, not at the initial enrolment. During their initial enrolment, a Member can register only one of a mobile phone number, email address or voice call number to receive 2-Step Verification codes.  After enrolment, you can add a second notification channel the next time you are logged in.
 
Q: What happens if I fail to provide the correct verification code?  

A: The account will lock and you must call Member Connect.

Q: What happens if I lose the phone used for 2-Step Verification and therefore cannot receive a code?

A: You will need to call Member Connect for assistance.

Q: What if the verification code does not come through?

A: Wait a reasonable amount of time for the notification to arrive. If it does not, use the “send new code” option.

Q: How long is the verification code valid?

A: Ten minutes.

Q: What types of online banking transactions will require additional 2-Step Verification?

A: The following types of transactions will now prompt you to enter a security code before the transaction can be successfully completed:

• Resetting your password
• Editing 2-Step Verification settings
• Adding a new or changing an existing Interac e-Transfer contact
• Adding bill payment payees

Q: Is there an option to designate a device as a ‘trusted’ device, exempting logins from that device from additional authentications?

A: Yes. After entering a verification code, you have the option to select "Don't ask me again next time I log in from this device."

Q: Will enrolment in 2-Step Verification affect any of my current digital banking configurations or settings?

A: Yes. After setting up 2-step Verification, you must re-set up Biometrics (Touch/Face ID), QuickView, and Memorized Accounts, if you wish to use those features. All other aspects of online banking will remain unchanged.

Q: How do I change my Password (PAC) for online and mobile banking?
 
A: Log in to your online profile and click on Profile and Preferences under the Account Services section to change your Password.  First, enter your current Password and then your new Password. Verify it by entering it again. Your new Password must have a minimum of 9 characters, both upper and lowercase letters, a number, and at least one special character (@, #, % or ! ONLY).

Note: If you use a special character other than the ones listed above, your 2-Step Verification will not work. 

Q: If I am not enrolled for 2-Step Verification (see question above), what will happen if I select the “Forgot Password” link?

A: You will receive an error message on the Please Verify Yourself screen.

Q: Is there a limit to how many times I can submit an incorrect verification code from the Enter Your Verification Code screen?

A: If an incorrect verification code is entered three times in a row during a Password reset, you will be locked out and must then contact DUCA.

Q: Is there a limit to how many times I can submit an incorrect password?

A: If an incorrect password is entered three times in a row, you will be locked out from the account.

If that happens, you can use the “Forgot Password” feature to create a new password. However, if you wish to use the same password, then you will have to contact DUCA to have the account unlocked.

Q: Is Self-Serve Password Reset available on the mobile banking app?

A: Yes.

Q: Is this feature available for Businesses on the Business platform?

A: No, this feature is not available for Business accounts on the Business platform at this time.

What constitutes an NSF fee?

• An NSF fee may arise when your account lacks the necessary funds to complete a transaction. This often happens if you forget to deposit funds for a recurring monthly bill or if a recipient doesn't promptly cash a check you've written. If the recipient later cashes the check when your account balance is insufficient, DUCA may decline the transaction and impose an NSF fee. It's important to note that each attempted transaction with insufficient funds may incur an NSF fee.

How can I determine if an NSF fee has been applied?

• NSF fees are typically applied promptly when there's an insufficient balance for a transaction. However, it might take 1 to 2 business days before you spot the charge reflected in your online banking statement.

How can I avoid NSF fee?

• Track your activity on your account: Regularly monitoring your account transactions and scheduled payments is essential for staying informed about your financial activities. Ensuring that your account maintains sufficient funds to cover your financial commitments is crucial for preventing a negative balance.
• Avail Overdraft Protection: Opting for overdraft protection is a choice available for application. It provides coverage for your transactions, allowing them to go through up to a predefined limit, even if your bank account lacks sufficient funds. This serves as a preventive measure against incurring NSF fees. Please refer to our fee schedule for fees specifics on overdraft protection
