4. What is my Nickname?
If you would like to remember your membership details on this device, you can give them a memorable name; for example, Dave's Account or Main Account.  If you are using this device to access more than one membership, give each login a distinct name.

5. What is Remember Login?
Using the Remember Login option, you can choose to save your membership number on this device.  Your membership number is not the same as your Personal Access Code (PAC) and cannot be used to securely log on.  If this is a shared device, select OFF as your preference.

A PAC is your Personal Access Code, which is used to verify your identity in order to securely log in to online banking.  If you do not have a PAC or have misplaced it, please contact us 902-794-2535

7. What is QuickView?
Enabling the QuickView feature allows you to display your account balances on the application home screen.  when you are logged out, your balances will be viewable when you open the application.  Tap the arrow to view the balances of your other accounts.  Go to Settings to manage your preferences for the QuickView feature. 

8. Can I turn off QuickView?
If your phone has been lost, stolen or you have replaced it with a new device, you can deactivate the QuickView feature in your online banking on our full site, under Account Services and Mobile Banking App.  Once you have deactivated it, the device will no longer display your balances on screen unless logged on.  We suggest you deactivate the feature on your old phone before activating it on a new device. 

9. Will the mobile app work if I have a joint account?
Yes.  Just enter your account details as you normally would.

10. I don't see my Personal Access Image and Phrase when logging in.  Is something wrong?
No. Because you can download the app directly from the Apple Store, the authenticity of the application has been verified by Apple.  Since you don't need to worry about the authenticity of the app, we have removed the personal access image and phrase to make your experience quicker and easier.


11. How do I remove the NSCU Mobile App from my phone?
Simply highlight and hold down the NSCU Mobile App icon on your screen.  An "X" will appear on the upper-right corner of the icon.  Touch the "X" and the app will be deleted from your iPhone.  Then, click on the Home button to stop the icons on the screen from shaking. 

12. Will the NSCU Mobile App functionality be available to retail and business members who require dual signatures for transactions?
Yes; however, some restrictions will apply, as they do in online banking.  Inter-member transfer and bill payments will be restricted. 

13. My phone has been lost or stolen.  Is my banking information at risk?
If your phone should ever go missing, only the QuickView account balances can be viewed if you have activated this feature.  Other transactions on your account can only be accessed if someone knows your Personal Access Code (PAC).  Contact your mobile carrier to have your phone deactivated.  And, if you're concerned about your personal access code for online banking being at risk, contact your credit union to have it changed.
