We are excited to share it with you!

Frequently asked questions
INTERAC e-Transfer® actions:
INTERAC e-Transfer® actions:
1. INTERAC e-Transfer profiles have successfully migrated to our new platform
If you have not set up an INTERAC e-Transfer profile in the new digital banking platform: your profile from previous online banking will have migrated and is available to you right now. This will include your recipient list as well as Autodeposit if you had that enabled.
If you have set up an INTERAC e-Transfer profile on the new platform prior to migration being completed: you will need to add contacts and set up Autodeposit again.
Viewing INTERAC e-Transfer history
Historical INTERAC e-Transfer transactions did not carry over to the new system and will only be viewable from March 16th onward.
2. Ensure timely receipt of funds transferred
We have transitioned to the new digital banking. Any INTERAC e-Transfer transactions sent prior to March 16 will not be viewable, nor can be cancelled through digital banking, as these specific transactions have not carried over. If you have a pending request for money outstanding, and if you had Autodeposit set up, the request will fulfill. If you did not have Autodeposit please contact us.
Action required:
-
We recommend contacting recipients for sent transactions to receive their funds as soon as possible.
Good to know:
�The "Request Money" feature will not be immediately available; however, it is planned to be re-enabled in the next few months.
3. When accepting INTERAC e-Transfers in the new Digital Banking platform
When accepting an INTERAC e-Transfer for the first time in the new Digital Banking platform (which was launched March 16, 2021), and if you had accepted INTERAC e-Transfers previously, you may be presented with the Synergy name and logo. If this is the case, please follow these steps:
- Bypass selecting Synergy/clicking on the logo
- Scroll down to “Select a different financial institution”.
- Select Synergy Credit Union from the list.
The reason for this is due to your device remembering where to go, which is the old platform that is no longer there.
Once you do this for the first time, your device should remember where to go (which is the new digital banking) and you would not have to repeat these steps.

What to expect with the transition
What to expect with the transition
With the move to the updated technology, there are a few things to be aware of:
New Link:
-
There is a new link to online banking, which means that cookies (such as memorized accounts) will not carry over. Your memorized login will also not carry over.
New Apps:
-
There is new apps, which means that if you use our banking apps the following will be the steps to take if you have:
-
Android Smartphone - delete current app and download the new app (apps are located on the footer of synergycu.ca)
-
iPhone - update your app
-
It’s good to know the app is only available on iPhones and Android Smartphone. Apps cannot be installed onto tablets.
-
Mobile Wallet:
-
If you are a new user or want to use a new card through the Apple Wallet, you can have your card provisioned via SMS message, email or our Member Contact Centre. In-app provisioning will be coming soon.
-
Other mobile wallet options, such as Google Pay and Samsung Pay, will remain unchanged.
Alerts:
-
All transaction and security alerts that were set up in the old online banking did not carry over.
-
Once you have logged into the new digital banking you can review and set up how you would like to be notified for account alerts (which includes withdrawals, balance alerts, insufficient funds or failed transactions) and security alerts (which includes password changes, attempt locks, successful logins and biometric access completion).
-
