The default setting of the QuickView feature for The UCU App is “OFF”. You need to turn “ON” QuickView to activate it.

Yes. UCU Mobile Banking for smartphones continues to be fully operational. You can use UCU Mobile Banking with any Internet-enabled smartphone.

The app uses the same level of security as Online Banking. Your password prevents unauthorized access and we advise that you do not save your password anywhere on your device. As well, all information is transmitted via 128-bit encryption technology as it moves from your mobile device to our systems. We also ensure only minimal personal or banking information is saved and secured on your mobile device when using the QuickView and Saved Member Card features.

If your phone should ever go missing, only the QuickView account balances can be viewed if you have activated this feature. Other transactions on your account can only be accessed if someone knows your password. Contact your mobile carrier to have your phone deactivated. And, if you’re concerned about your password for online banking being at risk, contact UCU right away to have it changed.

There are a number of precautions that you should take to help safeguard your personal information and safety while using your iPhone. These include:

  • Reviewing and utilizing the security options available on your phone such as enabling device password protection and disabling your Bluetooth connection when you are not using it. This prevents hackers from taking advantage of that connection. Refer to your phone’s user manual or contact your mobile carrier for more information on these features.
  • Download only trusted applications from reputable sources such as the iTunes App Store or Google Play App store.
  • Download and use Apple's free Find My iPhone application from the iTunes App Store. It allows you to remotely locate, lock and wipe your iPhone should it get lost or stolen.
  • Avoid online banking while on public networks, since public connections aren’t very secure. Use cellular network instead of public Wi-Fi to do online banking.
  • Never use your phone while driving.
  • Never send sensitive account information (i.e. account numbers, passwords, or any combination of information that can be used to steal your identity) via text message or email. 

Yes. UCU doesn’t charge anything to download The UCU App. Be aware, however, that some phone plans charge for data use. Since the app uses data, your carrier may charge for your data use while you’re using mobile banking. Check with your carrier to confirm the specifics of your plan.

 

Please note: Use of The UCU App is subject to the terms and conditions found in the UCU Website User Agreement, the Account Operating Agreement (for personal accounts), and the Commercial Account Operating Agreement (for business accounts). While The UCU App employs strict security measures, to achieve maximum protection, you are encouraged to review your security obligations as outlined in the above-mentioned account agreements.
