Frequently Asked Questions about Digital Banking

Getting Started

  • Once you have an open account with FCCU, you may enroll in online banking via the Enrollment Page or directly from the First Commerce iBranch Mobile! App once you have downloaded it from the App Store.
  • Members can enroll and use digital banking with iOS and Android devices (smartphones or tablets) by downloading the free First Commerce Digital Banking app for Android or iPhone.
  • Web browsers can be utilized on desktop and mobile devices
    • Digital Banking is supported on the following browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge & Safari. The latest three browser versions are supported.
      • Internet Explorer is NOT supported.
    • We recommend updating your browser to the latest version available — not just to ensure compatibility with the digital banking experience, but also to ensure anything you do online is as secure as possible.
  • Your digital banking login will give you access to all accounts your Social Security Number is associated with (Primary or Joint).
  • If you have forgotten your username, please call us at 1.800.533.5772. Representatives are available 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. ET Monday-Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET Saturday. For security purposes, we will need to speak with the primary member on the account and verify some personal information.
  • If you have forgotten your password, on the login page, click the “forgot password” link.
  • For security purposes, digital banking accounts become inactive when you haven’t logged in for 6 months. Once inactive, the member must re-enroll in digital banking.
  • Check your internet connection. The FCCU mobile app utilizes real-time data to give you accurate and up-to-date account information. Weak or no internet connections will limit app functionality.
  • Check your device’s app store to ensure you are on the latest version of the mobile app and update if needed.
  • As a last resort, please delete the app, uninstall it, turn off your phone, restart your phone, and reinstall the app. This sometimes helps clear the problem.
  • If you are still experiencing issues with a stable internet connection and the latest up-to-date version of the app, please contact us for assistance.

Follow the instructions including selecting the account for the deposit, entering the amount of the check, and taking a clear photo of the front and back of the check.

Security & Alerts

  • The option to receive a secure access code are based on the contact information we have on file for the primary member on the account. If that information is incorrect or incomplete, you may have limited or no options to receive your code and complete the login process. Please call us at 850.488.0035 or 1.800.533.5772 for help with digital banking. Representatives are available 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. ET Monday-Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET Saturday.
  • If you received your Secure Access Code and haven’t used it within 20 minutes, it has automatically expired. If you have been having trouble logging in and have requested more than one Secure Access Code, the code you’re using might not be the most recent one issued. Please wait a few minutes and request a new access code and use that one right away.
  • Register a personal device to avoid needing a Secure Access Code to log in. For security reasons, we only recommend registering devices that are not shared or public.
  • If Secure Access Codes are still requested after registering your device, please check your browser settings to be sure they aren’t set to clear cookies after each session.
  • To enroll in real-time text or email account alerts in digital banking, from the main menu, go to Alerts > iAlerts. From the same menu, security alerts are also available for set up.
