Q. How can I get a Personal Access Code (PAC)?
To obtain your Personal Access Code, visit one of our 42 branches or visit our Contact Us page for options on how we can help you.
Q. Why do I have to use a 7-digit numeric Personal Access Code (PAC)?
We switched to a numeric-only Personal Access Code (PAC) as a convenience to our members. It allows you to access both online banking and telephone banking using the same information; the last 8-digits of your Member Card number and a 7-digit PAC. Members no longer need to use and remember a different PAC for each service. Because telephone banking only lends itself to using numbers, we had to choose a numeric PAC rather than alpha-numeric.
We selected 7 digits for the PAC as we wanted to ensure a balance between security, complexity and convenience. If we were to assign too long of a numeric PAC, it becomes difficult to remember and chances are you would have to write it down, which compromises their security. The shorter the number, the greater the risk, the longer the number the lesser the risk, so we determined 7 digits was a good balance between security and convenience.
The PAC is only one part of the security process. You are also protected by having a Member Card and having to enter the last 8-digits of that Member Card and your PAC to identify who you are. The combination of the three is what provides safety and security of information.
Q. How can I change my Personal Access Code (PAC)?
To change your Personal Access Code - PAC, click on My Profile and select Change PAC. From this screen enter your current PAC and enter your new PAC which must have 7-digits and cannot begin with a zero.
