I switched to the portal from Servus Credit Union last year. The online banking sign in was smooth, and their support team answered every question within hours.
The staff at our credit union helped me navigate first calgary financial's outdated system. Now I do everything on the this service portal, and the rates are unbeatable.

our credit union offers phone, email, in-person, and online chat support, with email response times averaging 2 business hours.
For routine inquiries, the fastest route is the online portal's secure message. To start, sign in at scu online banking. If you need to pay a bill, visit the bill pay section. For wire transfers, use the wire transfer form. The official guide to online banking sign in is available at this page.
