About me

Hi! I'm Sunny, a chatbot accessible across SASCU's entire website. 

You have free, secure, and unlimited access to me.

While I can’t complete your banking tasks for you, I can answer basic questions, run calculations, and link you to different pages across our site. The more conversations I have, the more I learn.

To be a SASCU member, you purchase five equity shares at $1/share ($5 total). If you ever decide to stop being a member, the equity shares are returned to you, plus any dividends earned.

Our members are also our shareholders.

Yes, anyone outside of the Shuswap can open a SASCU account.

Keep in mind that in our membership application you will need to select a preferred branch location to conduct banking actions face-to-face if you wish to in the future. 

You must first complete our membership application to open an account.

Go to the membership application >

Do you want multiple Plan 24s to save for different goals? An extra Investor Savings? You can open them yourself through online banking!

Once you login to your account online,

1) click "Open a New Account" under "Account Services",

And it’s an easy way to find your account details when you don’t have a cheque handy.

Simply login to online banking, select the account you wish to have the Void Cheque for, and click the box marked 'Printable Void Cheque' to download.

Our profits profit you — When you open an account with us, you become a member and an owner, not just an account holder. Our profits go back to helping you hold on to more of your money and back to the communities we serve through Community Support.

We treat you better — Credit unions believe in earning a profit, but not at the expense of our members. Don’t just take our word for it! Credit unions have won numerous Ipsos Best Banking Awards - including Best in Customer Service Excellence for the past 13 years in a row.

Better for business — Credit unions outperform Canada’s banks when it comes to serving the needs of small and medium sized businesses! We consistently rank #1 in the Battle of the Banks survey by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB).

Better access to your money — In addition to your local branch, each credit union provides online banking services, telephone banking and access to one of Canada’s largest networks of surcharge-free ATMs.

Yes, if your Member Card is lost, stolen or retained by an ATM, notify us immediately. We become responsible once your card has been reported lost or stolen, when the card has been cancelled or has expired, or after you have reported that the PIN may be known to others.

To report a lost or stolen Member Card, call our 24/7 toll-free number: 1.888.277.1043

Online banking refers to banking done on your desktop or laptop through our website. Mobile banking refers to banking done on your phone or tablet through our app.

Our app is optimized for viewing on all phones and tablet screens. The text is bigger, and the buttons are easier to tap with your finger. Online banking with your laptop or desktop has its advantages too. Using a mouse or trackpad to navigate and click around, allows you to access more detailed information and links.

Both our online and mobile banking provide you the safe, secure and easy experience to complete frequent banking actions.

  • View your account information — account summary, details of each account, and all recent account activity
  • Manage partner accounts — view and access your Collabria SASCU Mastercard, Qtrade, and Credential balance and history
  • Pay your bills — credit card bill, taxes, cable bills, etc.
  • Transfer funds — between your own accounts, to other SASCU members, to members with a different credit union or bank, etc.

To login to your SASCU account online, go to our online banking page.

You can safely and securely access your accounts wherever you are, whenever you want — 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Step by Step Guide >

​2-Step Verification is an additional and convenient security measure SASCU's put in place to protect our members' privacy and banking information.

Once you've set up 2-Step Verification, you'll receive a verification code to your cell phone or email address to enter into your device and gain access to your account. You're likely familiar with this verification system if you have an account with Facebook or Gmail. 

What are the benefits to 2-Step Verification?

  1. 2-Step Verification protects you from cyber threats such as malware and phishing attacks because it provides an additional layer of security.
  2. You use it to reset your password (PAC).
  3. It replaces security questions. Meaning, you won't have to remember security question answers.

When does it get activated?

You'll be prompted with 2-Step Verification when:

  1. you first become a SASCU member and login to your account
  2. whenever an attempt to access your account is assessed as needing increased authentication, you'll be prompted with 2-Step Verification (e.g., signing in from a new device, signing in from a new location).

How do I set it up?

You'll be prompted to set up this feature when you first log into your account once it's been launched. Follow the steps (adding your email and/or text) when the prompt screen comes up.

You can update your email or cell number in your Profile and Preferences settings in Online Banking or in Settings on the SASCU app. 

Can I use my landline number for 2-Step Verification?

No. Make sure the number you add is a cell phone number. Landlines will not work. If you do not have access to either, enter your email address. 

What do I do if I need to access my account while travelling and I'm not receiving texts in time?

If you're out of the country, add and use your email to receive verification codes instead of texts. Give us a call and we'll reset your settings so that you can add an email.

How do I change my 2-Step Verification settings (e.g., add or update an email or cell number)?

SASCU app Instructions:
  1. Login to the SASCU app
  2. Press "Settings"
  3. Then "2-Step Verification Settings"
  4. Follow the prompts and save
Online Banking Instructions:
  1. Login to Online Banking
  2. Press "Profile and Preferences"
  3. Then "Change 2-Step Verification Information"
  4. Follow the prompts and save


What should I know about using 2-Step Verification?

  1. Use a supported browser like Edge, Chrome, Safari
  2. Use a private internet network
  3. Do not use a VPN to log in
  4. Do not use a private/hidden/incognito window

You can now reset your password using self-serve password reset. 

Simply click "forgot password" on the login screen and follow the prompts. 

Step by Step Guide >

If 'Forgot Password?", isn't working for you it's likely an issue with the SIN value.

  1. Make sure the SIN that's being typed is the account owner's SIN.
  2. If you're sure you're typing the correct SIN, contact us via phone or in branch. We will need to check that we have your SIN on file. 
    1. If not, we can easily add your SIN for you to use this feature.
    2. If you don't want your SIN on file, you won't be able to use the Password Reset feature (it's how we verify you are you).

It's easy — we'll make the referral to a merchant provider who will contact you to discuss your requirements and options.

Direct payment lets you offer customers the convenience of paying with their debit and credit cards at a point-of-sale terminal. It accepts all debit cards and major credit cards issued by other financial institutions. 

Direct payment gets rid of hassles at the checkout by guaranteeing payment (no NSF cheques) and reduces the amount of cash and paper you have to handle.

For more information visit our merchants page and to make an appointment, contact us.

Yes, we can make a referral to a payroll processing services company to meet the needs of your business.

It’s easy – we’ll make a referral then a representative will meet with you to discuss your requirements and options. Services offered can include: payroll processing, payroll tax filing, job costing and labour distribution, management reporting, human resources administration and benefit information.

We have services which can streamline your payroll process.

Direct Deposit

Your employees can have their pay deposited to their Credit Union account and can utilize our wide range of financial products and services. Using the direct deposit method saves you from having to produce paycheques and saves your employees time as well.

Learn more about direct deposits >

Payroll Deduction Plans

If for some reason your employee doesn't want their complete pay deposited, they have the option of depositing only a certain portion. This is a real benefit to your employees, as it can aid in a disciplined savings plan for the short term or for their retirement if they choose to invest in an RRSP.
