Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
For security purposes, details of the multi-factor authentication upgrade can be found within the online banking portal itself.
Members are asked to navigate to My Access > Messages. Once there, you’ll see a communication titled “OLB & App upgrade coming Oct 8 (new features!)”. In addition, all members who’ve opted into Access Credit Union email communications with access to online banking were sent an email with details. Please review this in detail to ensure you’re prepared for the upgrade.
REMINDER: Access Credit Union will never contact you for your personal information via text, unsecure email, or social media channel.

Examples of Devices Not Supported
