For your protection, this temporary card will automatically expire within two weeks or at the end of the following month. Once you receive your physical card in the mail, activate and begin using that card instead.

Easily Access Your Temporary Digital Debit Card

Access your temporary digital debit card easily through CU1 Digital Banking. If you are already logged in to Digital Banking before your digital card is issued or your digital card is not displaying, you will need to log out and log back in to see it. Follow the steps below to get started:

Step 1 Log in to CU1 Digital Banking

Once you're logged in to CU1 Digital Banking. Select “Menu”, then Navigate to “Services” and tap “Debit Card Controls” under the main Digital Banking menu.

Step 2 View Your Digital Card

Scroll down until you locate the “Card Details” section and select “View Digital Card”. The blue debit card at the top of the screen that says “Activate Now” cannot be activated until you receive your physical card. You can only access your funds through the temporary digital card until you receive your physical debit card in the mail.

Step 3 Verify Your Identity with a Secure Access Code

To view your temporary digital card, you will receive an Secure Access Code via text or email. Once the correct code is entered, click “Next” then the Digital Card will appear and remain visible for 2 minutes.

You can easily access your temporary card number, expiration date, and security code on this screen. Use it to shop online or add it to your Digital Wallet to make in-person purchases while you wait for your physical card.

Step 4 Set a Pin on Your Temporary Digital Card

To properly use your temporary CU1 digital debit card, you will need to set a PIN. Under the “Debit Card Controls” main Digital Banking menu, scroll until you locate the “Manage Cards” section and select the “Set PIN” tab.

Members will receive a Secure Access Code via text. Once the correct code is entered, tap "Next," enter your new PIN twice, and tap "Submit."

Log In

Add Temporary Digital Card to Your Digital Wallet

You can use your temporary digital debit card to pay with your phone when you add it to your Digital Wallet and use Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay.

Once you receive your physical CU1 Debit Card, you will need to set that card up in Digital Wallet, as your temporary card will be deactivated for security purposes.
