What should I do if I forget my username or password?
Click the "Forgot Username" or "Forgot Password" link on the login page. You'll be guided through a verification process to recover your username or reset your password through your registered email or phone number. For security reasons, the system will ask you to verify your identity using personal information or security questions.
Why am I locked out of my account?
For security reasons, your account is temporarily locked after several incorrect password attempts. You can either wait for the automatic unlock (typically 30 minutes) or contact member services for immediate assistance. When calling, be prepared to verify your identity through multiple factors.
What if I can't receive security codes?
If you're not receiving security codes via text or email, first check that your contact information is up to date in your profile. For email verification, check your spam or junk folder. If you've changed your phone number or email, you'll need to contact member services to update your information securely.
How do I resolve technical issues with the mobile app?
For mobile app problems, first ensure your app is updated to the latest version. Try closing all background apps, restarting your device, or uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Clear your device's cache if possible. If issues persist, contact technical support with details about your device model and operating system version.
What if a scheduled transfer or payment fails?
If a scheduled transaction doesn't process, first check your account for sufficient funds at the time of the scheduled transaction. Verify that the payment was fully scheduled (not saved as a draft).

Real-World Success Stories
Transforming Financial Habits
"Delta Community CU Online Banking completely changed my relationship with money. Before, I had no real system for tracking expenses—I just hoped there was enough in my account at the end of the month. The spending analysis tools showed me exactly where my money was going, and it was eye-opening. I realized I was spending nearly $400 monthly on takeout! Using the budgeting tools, I set reasonable limits and started getting notifications when I was approaching them. Within six months, I'd paid off my credit card debt and started building savings for the first time in my adult life." — Thomas R., Member since 2019
Banking on the Go
"As someone who travels frequently for work, Delta Community CU Online Banking has been a game-changer. I can deposit checks from airport lounges, transfer money between accounts while waiting for flights, and keep track of my expenses in real-time. The mobile app is so intuitive that I rarely need to visit a branch anymore. Last month, I was in Europe when I noticed an unfamiliar charge on my account. I immediately used the app to freeze my card and message customer service. They responded within minutes, confirmed it was fraud, reversed the charge, and issued me a new card—all before I had even finished my coffee. That level of control and service from anywhere in the world is priceless." — Megan L., Member since 2017
