How your personal information is used on our mobile banking app

The following permissions and activities are required by our mobile app to operate.

  • “Access Camera” permission is used by the app to deposit a cheque via mobile deposit capture, store a custom profile and background picture.
  • “Access Location” permission is used by the app to accurately locate the nearest ATM or branch in the “Find Us” feature.
  • “Call permission” is used to automatically call the user’s preferred branch by tapping on the phone number in the “Find Us” feature.
  • “Contact List” permission is used to set up new Interac e-Transfer® contacts and send an Interac e-Transfer. Only the device contact information a user confirms is readable by Interac.
  • “Internal Storage” permission is required to view, share and download PDF files from the mobile app to a user’s device. A Synergy CU monthly account statement is an example of a PDF file.
  • “App Activities” uses mobile app interaction data for analytics on usage and crash information for the current app version. We also monitor application stability using the crash logs to make ongoing improvements. Data collected on app activities, information and performance is completely anonymous and aggregated – individual users are not identifiable.
