Important Impacts for the Banking Conversion

With the upcoming banking conversion, our members will be impacted the following ways. If you have any questions about the impacts and how exactly they will change your banking experience with us, please feel free to call our offices at 416-238-5606.

  • Online CyberBanker logins will be changing with the new banking conversion. Your current login will change from ALIAS to your account number. If you need help remembering your account number please call our offices at 416-238-5606.
  • Due to the login type change from ALIAS to your account number, increased authentication challenge questions and answers will be lost and members will need to re-register post-conversion. This means you will need to set up your security questions again post-conversion.
  • Text Banking will be affected. Due to the login type change from ALIAS to your account number, the text banking profile setup will be lost and members will need to re-register for text banking post-conversion. This means you will have to re-enter your phone number to receive texts from the CU with your balance etc. post-conversion.
  • Telephone Banking will be impacted with the new banking system conversion. Members will continue to use existing login credentials.  Telephone Banking will be unavailable from November 1 until November 4. November 1, 2018, our telephone teller phone number will be changing. The new telephone teller phone number is 1-866-496-9357.
  • Those of you (mainly Blackberry users) will notice current login will change from ALIAS to your account number. If you need help remembering your account number please call our offices at 416-238-5606
  • Direct Alerts will need to be set up again. If you currently receive Direct Alerts (an email from the banking system alerting you of online activity such as e-transfer recipient addition, online banking log-ins etc on your CU account) you will need to set up your alerts again under the new banking system.
  • Memorized accounts feature is stored on your personal device and will not automatically be migrated. You will need to set up memorized accounts again.
  • Our mobile app is getting an upgrade too! Post conversion, you will need to update your mobile app to version 13.7. This also means you will need to set up your quick-view feature on the app again if you chose to add it previously.
  • Your e-transfer history, sender profile and recipient list will not be available after the conversion. They will need to setup them up again post-conversion. A quick way to easily do this would be to take a screen shot of your current recipient list prior to conversion. Call our office to get some help if you get a chance!
  • Members will not be able to send e-transfers approximately 1 week prior to conversion date.
  • Members will not be able to receive e-transfer approximately 1 day prior to conversion date.
  • Personal Finance Management impacts- since we are unable to retain custom changes made by  members (i.e., new categories, rules, etc.). You will need to setup their customization again post-conversion. Members will start fresh with PFM data after the conversion.
  • Members will also need to re-register for their partner accounts with PMF  (i.e. Account Plus) and setup the  link to external accounts post-conversion. Members will start fresh with PFM data after the conversion.
  • Online International Remittance (OIR) Members will need to receive OIRs before conversion. Members can cancel the transaction sent and send it again after conversion.

  • Members may notice small format changes in vendor names (For example: Bell Canada One Bill > Bell Canada).

  • Some members may notice the moderate change in product type names.
  • Our Loan Lines of Credit (RRSP, TFSA, Merit-Lines) will no longer have a Chequing component. LOCs will now appear with Loans and Statements will change from monthly to Quarterly.
  • Members who have requested their direct deposit to go directly to their Daily Interest will need to contact the Credit Union post conversion to obtain their new MICR Encoding specific for their Daily Interest; there will be a grandfathered period of 1 year where these continue to be deposited to Daily Interest and then will default back to PCA.  Some members may find that their Direct Deposit is defaulted back to their PCA, please contact us and we can make the change.
  • Flip & Save will be only available in the amount of $1.00. Those members with $5 and $10 amounts will no longer have that option.
