I have updated my browser and I still can not view the login page, what now?
If you have the most up to date browser and still can not see the login page then it may be that you do not have access to secure sites. Some company Internet firewalls block access to secure sites. If you are accessing the online accounts from your office and cannot access the site please contact your Computing Support or Technical Department and ask whether access to secure sites has been blocked by the company.
If you do have access to secure sites and are accessing online accounts from an Office you need to ensure that your proxy settings are correct.
If you are using Internet Explorer 5 or 6 select
- Tools
- Internet Options
- Connections

Please also check your security settings within 'View' in IE 4 and 'Tools' in IE5 and IE6. Then select 'Internet Options' and 'Advanced'. If you scroll down the menu that has opened up, please ensure that you have 'SSL 2.0', 'SSL 3.0' and 'PCT 1.0' selected.

How do I know my details and information are kept private?
When your browser and our server are establishing a secure session they will exchange data which is encrypted and we establish a session for the period of your use of the site. This session is used to encrypt all the data as it passes through the Internet including your account details, transactions and loans details. The information is decrypted only when it reaches your browser. Part of SSL Protocol used in the encryption involves using a Message Authentication Code (MAC) which will not be accepted by your browser if the information is tampered with in; further ensuring your information is kept safe.
Your privacy and personal information is protected in several different ways on our website:
- A PIN is issued only to members of the Credit Union, and your PIN application details are checked against the credit union records.
- Your online account is protected by a 3-tier login, which is usually your Username, your PIN and your Pass Phrase. You should not reveal your PIN to anyone including Credit Union staff.
- When you log into the members area, your login details are encrypted while passing from your computer to our web server, limiting the chances of revealing your information should it be intercepted en route. The site uses 128-bit SSL encryption. The integrity of the encryption is verified by your browser which can recognize the digital certificate installed for our website, and inform you if the certificate is valid or expired.
- The Members Area will automatically close your session after 3 minutes of being idle, which helps prevent revealing your personal information should you be away from your computer for an extended period. You should logout of the Members Area when you are finished.
The security certificate was issued by a company that is not trusted message?
The login page and the Members Area pages are digitally encrypted by a secure certificate to protect the integrity of information passing between your computer and our web server.
It has been confirmed that certain browsers have trouble recognizing the Digital Certificates installed on our web server. This is because our Digital Certificate supplier’s details are not listed in the certificates database of these browsers, or the certificates database has not been updated. Unfortunately there is no central authority which provides links to update the certificates databases of browsers.
Please be advised that if you do receive this message when entering a secure section of our website, that your details are being encrypted, and it is safe to proceed. Upgrading your browser to the latest version will resolve the issue in most cases.
