Quick Solutions for Mobile Banking Access
⚠️ Forgotten Username or Password
Cause: Unable to recall your Member Access credentials.
Solution: From the sign-in screen, select “Forgot password” and follow the on-screen prompts to reset your password. You will need your username to proceed.
⚠️ App Not Updating or Incompatible Device
Cause: Device operating system is outdated or the app version is not current.
Solution: Ensure your device's operating system meets the recommended requirements (iOS 16-26, Android 11-16). Update the SECU app through your device's app store. If your device remains incompatible, you can still access Member Access through a desktop or mobile web browser.
⚠️ Issues with Biometric Login (Face ID/Fingerprint)
Cause: Biometric authentication not working as expected or requesting a password repeatedly.
Solution: While biometric login offers convenience, some instances may still require a password for added security. Ensure your biometrics are properly set up in your device settings and within the app. If issues persist, revert to using your username and password or contact Member Services Support.
⚠️ General Access Problems After an Update
Cause: New updates can sometimes cause temporary login or functionality disruptions.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. Often, simply updating the app to the latest version and restarting it can resolve minor glitches. If you encounter persistent problems, you might need to re-enter your login information. For complex issues, contact Member Services Support for direct assistance.
