Online Banking and Mobile App Support

Make the most of your digital banking experience

Digital banking offers a convenient way to do most of your day-to-day banking, whether you choose to bank on the go with our Mobile App, or from the comfort of your home with Online Banking on a desktop computer.

Our How-to guides below provide you with step-by-step tips to help you customize your digital banking experience.

Digital banking security updates and reminders

NEW! 2-Step Verification

The next time you login to Online Banking or the Mobile App you’ll be presented with the option to set up 2-Step Verification (2SV)

2SV enhances online security by ensuring you are the only one who can access your account. It is an added layer of security that requires you to enter your password (PAC) and a six-digit verification code that is automatically sent to a trusted method of contact – such as text message or email – upon each login.

Setting it up takes just a few simple steps and we recommend you set this up at your earliest convenience. After May 8, 2023, it will become mandatory for all digital banking users.

Working together to prevent fraud

Occurrences of fraud are on the rise anywhere scammers and fraudsters have access to financial or personal information.  While PenFinancial has industry standard protections in place for online banking, we all have a role to play in the security of our online activities.  It's important you stay diligent to help prevent fraud. 

Visit our Fraud Prevention centre for tips and resources to help you be fraud aware.

Is your password secure?

ic_change_password Online security starts with a strong password. Ensure your PenFinancial Online Banking / Mobile App password is difficult to guess, consisting of a minimum of eight (8) characters including upper case letters, lower case letters and numbers. Your Online Banking password should be unique and not used to access other websites.
