Answers to Common Questions About SFFCU Online & Mobile Banking

Internet Explorer (IE) is being phased out by Microsoft and may cause technical issues for SFFCU members trying to use this browser with our online banking platform.

We recommend using one of the following browsers when logging into online banking: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari or Firefox.
Scams are constantly evolving. Scammers spoof both websites and phone numbers. If you receive an unsolicited call where the caller asks for personal information, you should disconnect. If you receive an unsolicited email about your account, do not click any links within the message. If these instances occur, we recommend calling SFFCU directly at 888-521-5209.

Additional tips:

  • Add a password to your account. Make it unique. In order to verify your identity, when you call or visit an SFFCU location, an employee will ask you to provide this password.

  • Never share your online credentials or passwords with anyone. Providing this information is a first class ticket to your account.

  • Contact the credit union at 888-521-5209 if you suspect you’ve been a victim of a scam or you believe fraudulent activity has occurred on your account.
Online transfers are great for setting up recurring payments and transfers that happen every month for the same amount.

For example, if you make a loan payment every month (even to another bank or credit union), scheduled transfers can make that happen automatically from your credit union account. This takes the hassle out of remembering to make payments and helps ensure you don’t forget or fall behind.
