An upgraded app in response to feedback


The great thing about a digital experience is the ability to continuously improve it. With your help, we’ve learned a thing or two since we launched our new digital banking experience in 2021.

As of October 12, 2022, your Access Credit Union mobile banking app has been updated with a fresh, clean look along with an intuitive interface that offers a smoother navigation experience.

If you have automatic updates set up, your new app will have been upgraded October 12th and should be good to go! If not, you’ll be prompted to install the app from the Apple Store or Google Play.

The digital journey that got us here


In 2018, we were told our existing digital banking platform was being discontinued. We wouldn’t settle for less, so we partnered with four credit unions to find the best new digital banking solution for our members.

After years of research and testing, we worked with our technology partner to adapt award-winning global banking software with a focus on enhanced security and an empowering member experience.

In 2021, we launched our new digital banking experience. This upgrade was necessary to enhance security and introduce foundational technology needed to continue to build on the app’s functionality.

Following the initial learning curve for the new app, we listened to member feedback and worked with our technology partner to develop a cleaner interface and a more streamlined user experience.

And now we’re here!

Aside from the new navigation and clean aesthetic look, the rest of the app functionality–such as completing transactions or changing settings–will remain unchanged from how it is.

The things you won’t need to worry about

Account settings

With the exception of your personalized background image, all your account settings will be the same in the new app.

All your existing bill payees and scheduled bill payments will carry over to the upgraded mobile app.



Troubleshooting & Support

We'll note any issues that are identified during the launch process here. 
Uh oh! Are you getting an error that says “identification does not match”?
Some Apple and Android users are reporting this error message. To fix, simply delete the app and re-download it. If you are still experiencing issues after, please contact us at 1.877.700.2736.

Unable to download the new app and can't move through to the old one?
Please note that as this is a new app upgrade, these are the operating system requirements:
  • iOS version 13 and up (or iPhone 6 and up)
  • Android OS 6 and up
If you have an older phone and operating system, you may see a message that says "Cancel / Download" on the required update screen. In this case, you can access the desktop online banking platform from a web browser on your phone, but will be unable to use the mobile app.
