Their Story

Talk about commitment. To each other?! Yep. To 1st Cooperative? That, too. After getting married, Crystal and Brian have transferred their checking and other accounts from other banks, added Kid’s Club savings accounts and obtained auto loans. Then, came time for a second car. You know, because of the kids.

Hey, Crystal, who gets to drive the new wheels? Sorry, Brian.

These instructions apply only for your first time logging on to our new Online Banking system after September 2.

If you are an existing Online Banking user, here’s how to log on to our new Online Banking system:

Your temporary Logon ID (username) is the member number for the Primary Member on the account.
- You must enter leading zeroes to make it 6 digits.
- Examples: If your current member number is 1234, you would enter 001234. For the member number 12, you would enter 000012.
Your temporary Security Code (password) is the last 4 digits of the Primary Account holder’s Social Security number.
- Example: 9876

You will be prompted to change your Logon ID and Security Code. Once these are changed, you will use your NEW Logon ID and Security Code the next time you log on to Online Banking.
