DCECU does not endorse the use of Online Banking for business purposes and does not support providing passwords or personal account information to any other person or company. Online Banking is intended for personal use only.
Online Banking users are required to be members of the credit union. A joint owner who is not a member and wishes to use Online Banking must become a member first.
Yes. You can easily start a conversation to do an inquiry on your account or send documents through the secure messaging feature.
For support, go to our contact page and you can either live chat, call or email us between the hours of 7:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday. If you are signed in to Online Banking (or the Mobile App) and need assistance, you can always send us a secure message. A response will be sent by the end of the following business day.
Up to $5,000 can be transferred in and up to $5,000 can be transferred out per day using External Transfers.
When adding an account from another financial institution, we must confirm ownership of the account. To do that, we will send two small credit deposits to your other institution’s account and one withdrawal (debit) may be made from the account in the same total amount as the deposits. You will be required to enter the two credit amounts deposited in order to verify your account. These transactions generally take 1-3 business days to process.
DCECU does not charge a fee to process an External Transfer.
Up to 5 inbound and 5 outbound External Transfers can be completed in 1 day.
Funds can only be transferred to and from accounts within the U.S.
At this time, only external savings and checking accounts can be added.
If you would like to make a DCECU loan payment, two transfers are required. One transfer from the External Account into a DCECU share, and another from the DCECU share into the loan. Please space the two transfers at least one Business Day apart in order to account for processing time.
Instead of using paper checks, ACH (Automated Clearing House) entries are created and transmitted electronically, making transactions faster, easier and more secure. DCECU submits the transactions to the ACH network to transfer funds between the accounts specified.
Transfers will start processing after 7pm on the transfer date selected. Funds will need to be available in the account that day. The funds will then post the following business day.
Transfers scheduled after 7pm or on a weekend/holiday will not start processing until the following business day.
Sign into Online Banking to view account activity and verify the transaction is complete.
2-Step Verification (sometimes referred to as two-factor authentication, or 2FA) provides a stronger authentication method 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 web browser and Mobile App, there are small differences in the way your access will be authenticated with subsequent sign ins. With the web browser, you may choose to save a trusted device by checking the box next to "Don't ask for codes again while using this browser" 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.
2-Step Verification codes are sent to the phone number entered during Online Banking enrollment. If you need to access your Online Banking account without your phone or you are in a low coverage area, you can always choose the Authy app as your delivery method, instead of text or phone call. Authy can be downloaded across multiple devices, including your desktop computer. When you install Authy, be sure to sign in with the same email address and phone number combination used during 2-Step Verification enrollment.
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, this cookie is invalidated on the server. The other two cookies are used as part of the “Don't ask for codes again while using this browser” 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 or the Mobile App at any time. Contact the Credit Union if you would like to de-authenticate your device or to disable all Mobile App access for your account. You can also deactivate devices from the Security settings when signed in.
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 that you DO NOT check any boxes that state “Don't ask for codes again while using this browser” or similar, to 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.
| Chrome (Incognito Mode) | Firefox (Private Mode) |

This will ensure that all cookies and active sessions are cleared when you close the browser.
Select the share/loan from the Accounts card on your Dashboard for transaction history.

We encourage you to keep careful records and practice good account management. This will help you to avoid transacting without sufficient funds and incurring the resulting fees.

There is currently no fee for depositing checks through the Mobile App. However, depending on the data plan with your wireless provider, you may incur charges when accessing the Internet. Please consult your wireless service plan for details or contact the provider.
Yes. Checks must have a U.S. routing number.
Yes. You are allowed to deposit up to $15,000.00 per day and up to $50,000.00 per month.
Up to the first $225.00 of your deposit will be available immediately. The remaining funds will be available by the end of the next calendar day.
As per the End User License Agreement (EULA): You should retain the original imaged item that has been deposited via the Mobile App 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 be notified via the Mobile App within 2 business days.
Please call Member Solutions at 989.835.7794 or 800.835.7794, extension 4568.
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 end of the next business day.
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 entered doesn't match the amount detected 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 deposit get rejected during processing.
No. Check 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.
