The Online Banking web interface is not designed to securely store transactions on a mobile device or computer, and therefore there is no device profile to remove. The sign out on the website securely ends the session. It is always a good idea to close all browser windows as well.
While the 2-Step Verification code works the same for both the online browser and Mobile App, there are small differences in the way your access will be authenticated with subsequent sign ins. With the online browser, you may choose to save a trusted device by checking the box next to "Don't ask for codes again on this computer" which bypasses the 2-Step Verification. The Mobile App will let you configure an app passcode and you may also choose to use the device’s biometric feature, such as a fingerprint, if available. If you try to sign in using an unrecognized device or browser, you will be required to go through the 2-Step Verification to access your account.
Each member will create their own username/password and enroll in 2-Step Verification. Each member will sign in to their own Online Banking account and will have full view access to every account where they are a joint owner.

For security reasons, your account will automatically unlock after 24 hours of no attempted sign ins. Additional attempts to sign in will restart the 24 hour lock out.
If 24 hours have passed since the authentication problem occurred and you are ready to proceed, you may try first your password from before the migration. If this is accepted, then you may set up a new password and proceed with 2-Step Verification set up or use. If the password from before the migration doesn’t work, then try the new password that you used. If that works then you are able to proceed with 2-Step Verification set up or use. If neither password works, use the Forgot? Password link.

2-Step Verification (also known as two-factor authentication, or 2FA) is a stronger authentication to access your account. 2-Step Verification will change the way you access your accounts by using an additional step to verify that you are the authorized account user when you sign in from a new or unrecognized device or browser.
2-Step Verification works similar to your existing sign in procedure but uses an additional step to verify that you are the authorized account user. When you sign in from a device or browser that isn’t recognized, you’ll be asked for a 2-Step Verification code that will be sent to you via a method that you choose during registration. The methods to receive the code are through Authy, a free app on your device; a SMS text message to your mobile phone; or through a voice call to your landline or mobile phone.
While the 2-Step Verification code works the same for both the online browser and mobile app, there are small differences in the way your access will be authenticated with subsequent sign ins. With the online browser, you may choose to save a trusted device by checking the box next to "Don't ask for codes again on this computer" which bypasses the 2-Step Verification. The mobile app will let you configure an app passcode and you may also choose to use the device’s biometric feature, such as a fingerprint, if available. If you try to sign in using an unrecognized device or browser, you will be required to go through the 2-Step Verification to access your account.
Each member will create their own username/password and enroll in 2-Step Verification. Each member will sign in to their own Online Banking account and will have full view access to every account where they are a joint owner.
Authy is a free app for your mobile device or desktop which generates secure tokens for 2-Step Verification.

To support the security measures we put in place to keep your data safe, we require the use of a modern browser. As new versions of browsers are released, our Online Banking platform will deprecate support for older versions. Below are the details for each supported browser.
Yes, we use cookies in conjunction with our online banking product to establish a unique session with your computer to prevent fraudulent and/or unauthorized access to your account. Our online banking product places three different cookies. These cookies are randomly generated strings and contain no member data. One cookie is used to manage the current online banking session and is only valid for the duration of the session. In addition, when clicking the “Sign Out” link to log off, this cookie is invalidated on the server. The other two cookies are used as part of the “Remember my computer” functionality. Additional cookies are used for website statistics in order to identify unique visitors. No member-sensitive information is stored within these cookies.
Unless your username and password have been compromised, your account and account information are still secure. If you feel your sign in credentials have been compromised, you can reset your username and password through Online Banking at any time. Contact the Credit Union if you would like to de-authenticate your device or to disable all Mobile Banking access for your account.
While we recommend that you don’t access your accounts through Online Banking on a public or shared device (see dcecu.org/security/), there are some things you can do to reduce your overall risk and safeguard your personal information.
When you sign in to Online Banking, make sure you do not check any boxes that state “Remember me on this computer” or similar, and ensure that you are not agreeing to save/store your password.
DCECU members who use Google Chrome should review their browser settings and make sure they are using Open a new tab, not Continue where you left off on Startup. This will ensure that other users of the public or shared device will not be redirected to the last page you visited when they re-open the browser.
Navigate to Settings, select On startup and select Open the New Tab Page (see screenshot below).
Alternately, if you use Firefox, navigate to Options, select General and uncheck Restore previous session.
Also, whenever browsing any sensitive websites online such as online banking, it is a good idea to use Incognito Mode in Chrome or Firefox.

Up to the first $200.00 of your deposit will be available immediately. The remaining funds will be available by the end of the next calendar day.
As per the Mobile Banking Agreement: You should retain the original imaged item that has been deposited via Mobile Check Deposit for a reasonable period of time in order to verify settlement and credit or to balance periodic statements, but in no case beyond ninety (90) days from the date processed. You are required to properly destroy and dispose of such original item after such time.
You will receive an email when the check has been forwarded for processing. There is a chance it could still be rejected or adjusted, but if it does, you will get another email within 2 business days.

It depends on the error message you receive. Make sure you have all 4 corners of the check in the picture, have good lighting, are holding your device at least 1 foot above the check, and that your device has the ability to auto-focus. Otherwise, your check will likely not be accepted. Some checks may not be formatted properly for our system and will require deposit via one of our other channels.
Due to nightly maintenance, the system may be temporarily unavailable when you attempt to make your deposit. Your deposit will be posted by the next calendar day. If you're looking for the transaction to show in your transaction history right away, please tap the refresh icon on the transaction history page.
There are a variety of reasons why a check might be rejected:
If you believe that this is in error, please contact us.
Generally, this occurs when the amount that you entered into the app was different from the amount written on the check.
If there was a reject reason that you were able to resolve (e.g. image quality, missing endorsement, exceeded daily limit), you should be able to redeposit. If your check gets detected as a duplicate in our system or was returned for any other reason after it was deposited, you will not be able to redeposit it via this channel.
It is a good idea to somehow note that you've already deposited it; however, writing "VOID" will permanently void the original check and will therefore make it no longer a negotiable instrument should your Mobile Check Deposit get rejected.
No images are never stored on your device. Check submissions and deposit history are encrypted when transmitted to/from our secure server.
Our check processing vendor is located in the Central time zone.
Biometric Authentication is an alternate method for signing in to the Mobile App that uses biological characteristics - rather than a passcode - to verify your identity.
No. Biometric Authentication can be used instead of entering your password at sign in, but you will still need to retain a valid password.
