    LaHave River Branch

    We are building a stronger banking system


    PLEASE NOTE: Some of the details and links on this page are relevant for members of our LaHave River branch only. If you are a member of one of our other branches, please go HERE to choose the option most relevant to you.

    Interac e-Transfers are now available. Members may experience some slowness in the first few days, but this should go back to normal soon.

    UPDATED: March 18, 2025


    Thank you for your patience.


    The banking system upgrades at our LaHave River branch are on schedule and Inerac e-Transfers and online, mobile, and telephone banking are back online!

    To understand the full scope of impacts, please review the Member Information Insert


    Helpful tips to ensure a smooth transition to our new system

    • Online Banking: Log in to online banking with your NEW Member ID and existing Personal Access Code (PAC/password) and change your PAC as prompted.
    • Lookup your new Member ID on the letter we sent you in the mail or use this tool to lookup your new Member ID. Please note that this lookup tool only works for personal accounts, and not for business accounts.
    • Telephone Banking: You will need your new account number to access telephone banking. This can be found in online banking and the app, or you can call 1-866-230-7700
    • Scheduled Transfers and Payments: These may not be viewable in online banking. However, they will be processed and paid as usual.
    • Transaction History: To view your transaction history, you may need to view your e-Statements instead of your Account Activity.
    • Saved Login Profiles: If you currently have a saved login profile, you may need to forget a memorized login or delete and re-install the mobile app to reset this feature. To reset, select “Remember Me” and name your login profile.
    • 2-Step Verification: You will need to reactivate your 2-Step Verification settings as prompted to either your mobile phone number or email address.
    • Alerts: Your alerts will need to be reactivated. Set up your security, balance and activity, and member service alerts in online banking.
    • Interac e-Transfer: Set up your profile, update your Autodeposit to your new account number, and add your recipient list. Members may experience some slowness in the first few days, but this should go back to normal soon.
