A one-time passcode (OTP) is a security code that provides an additional layer of protection that safeguards sensitive information and certain digital banking activities. It’s a numeric security code (up to 7 digits) that you will receive via text message to your mobile phone or to your email address when you perform certain activities. The code is time sensitive and valid only for a limited amount of time.

Here are some examples of when one-time passcodes are used:

• Register for digital banking
• First time you sign in, to digital banking
• Add a new bill payee
• Update contact information
• Change or reset your password
• Transfer funds to other Biggar & District Credit Union members
• Add an Interac e-Transfer® recipient
If you were expecting to receive your passcode by email, first check your spam or junk mail folder. If you don't find it there, click resend the code on your confirmation screen to send it again. Sometimes the passcodes experience a slight delay when sent by email.
If you have a mobile phone number on file with us the verification code will automatically send the code to your mobile phone number. If you choose to have the code sent to your email address, you will receive a second code. The second code sent is the one that you should use.
Push notifications are messages that can be sent directly to a user’s mobile device. They can appear on a lock screen or in the top section of a mobile device.
Choose a unique username that you'll remember easily, as once it's created, it cannot be changed! Avoid using just your first name as it may be too simple and already in use by someone else.

  • Must be unique to our credit union
  • 5 - 35 characters
  • Alphanumeric
  • Special Characters that can be used are:
_ (underscore)
. (period)
@ (alias)
  • Do not use your email address

    *Username CANNOT be your debit card number*
If you try something that isn't accepted, it likely means someone else has already chosen that Username.
Your new password must be a minimum of 10, maximum 35 characters and include:

  • Minimum 1 Uppercase letter
  • Minimum 1 Lowercase letter
  • Minimum 1 number
Special characters are optional.

Be aware that when one person is using digital banking and receives a one-time passcode (OTP), both parties will receive that OTP.
In order to access digital banking, an email address or mobile phone number is required to receive one-time passcodes (OTPs) for security purposes. Several providers offer a free email account.

Small Business FAQ's

Small business digital banking is new to Biggar & District Credit Union members. It offers a unique set of features that's set apart from other personal digital banking services. The key features that distinguish the Small Business services from other digital banking services are:

• Profile consolidation (consolidation of personal and business profiles)
• Dual-signature support (for 2-to-sign accounts)
• Delegates (multiple user support)
• In addition, signers can approve transactions on the go from their mobile devices.
Profile consolidation allows you, as a small business member, to add your personal profile. This will enable you to switch back and forth between your business and personal profiles.

To set up profile consolidation:

1. Sign in to digital banking (profile consolidation set up is not available on the mobile banking app)
2. Select ‘Business services’.
3. Click ‘Profile consolidation’.
4. Click ‘Add profile’.
5. Enter personal profile username.
6. Enter personal profile password.
7. Click ‘Continue’.
8. Review details and click ‘Continue’.
9. Personal profile is successfully added.
10. You will need to sign out and sign back in to complete the setup.
To switch between profiles, go to the top of the screen to where your username is displayed. Hover over your username and the consolidated profiles will be displayed. Choose the profile you would like to switch to. A pop-up box will display asking if you if you are sure you want to switch profiles, you can either cancel or switch profiles.
There is no limit on the number of businesses that can be Consolidated under a single sign in.
A Delegate is a person such as an accountant, bookkeeper or spouse that can be granted limited access to digital banking for a business. A Delegate is created by one of the account signers and can be granted specific access:

 Initiator Access: allows the Delegate to create transactions such as a bill payment, transfer or Interac® e-Transfer for the signer(s) to approve.
 Read Only Access: allows the Delegate to view account information but does not permit them to perform any transactions.

Each signor can add an unlimited number of delegates. All delegates can be seen and managed by all signors.
All usernames, once created, cannot be changed.
Delegates will see the accounts under the business profile they are linked to. If other profiles have been consolidated, the delegate will not be able to access or view those profiles and/or accounts.
Delegates can reset their own password by using the 'Forgotten Password' feature on the home sign in screen or the delegate's signer can reset it for them.
A delegate's access can be locked to ensure they are unable to access the accounts. Delegates cannot be deleted from the profile once added.
A delegate's access can be locked to ensure they are unable to access the accounts.
The authorized signors have 7 days to act on a transaction prior to expiry. Authorized signors that activated the expiring alerts will receive a notification of a pending transaction about to expire starting on day 5 and if not actioned, again on day 6 and if not actioned, again on day 7.
No, the signer only must approve the recurring transactions once, when it is first initiated.
Digital banking has a character limit when it comes to the business name, and your business name may be outside the limits. This will not impact any of the information sent with bill payments or what is stored in our banking system.
