  • If I am the joint owner on an account, do I need my own username and password to access Digital Banking?

    If you are a joint owner on an account, you can log in with your own username and password, separate from the primary account owner’s log in credentials. Register using your own SSN and email and you will have access to all accounts your Social Security Number (SSN) or Employer Identification Number (EIN) are associated with. If you don’t see an account that you’re on and would like to, don’t hesitate to contact us.

  • Can I unlock my own account after getting locked out due to multiple failed login attempts?

    Yes, you have the ability to unlock yourself after hours, without the help of an Acadia FCU staff member. Our Digital Banking is meant to be self-service, for those who prefer a hands-on approach! Clicking either “forgot username” or “forgot password” will offer guided steps and two-factor authentication to allow for a member-controlled unlock, even after you’ve failed all five attempts to log in.

    Please keep in mind that the information needed to authenticate your account needs to match exactly what Acadia FCU has on file for you. For example, using a different email address, zip code VS zip code +4, or a typo on file with your email address could cause your account authentication to fail. Please confirm your account information with us if you have any issues unlocking your account.

  • What is the Credit Score / Savvy Money feature included with Acadia’s Digital Banking Experience?

    Acadia FCU members can opt-in to “Credit Score,” a comprehensive credit score program, powered by Savvy Money, offered for FREE! You can now closely monitor credit activity using without negatively affecting your score and stay on top of your credit. You’ll learn about what’s impacting your credit score and how you can improve it. Furthermore, “Credit Score” will alert you of any major changes or suspicious activity on your credit report. Find out everything you need to know about “Credit Score” in this article.

  • Can Acadia text me if there is suspicious activity on my account?

    Yes – if you enroll for texted fraud alerts, you will receive a text from our offsite fraud center to approve or deny a suspicious charge. Sometimes, these transactions are actually legitimate and your debit card gets blocked when it doesn’t really need to be. Learn more about this service here.
