TELEPHONE BANKING

Our automated telephone banking service was retired in November of 2023. This service used outdated technology that did not provide the same level of security as our other banking channels, leaving members open to a higher risk of fraudulent activity.

For assistance on finding out which of our other services best suits your needs, please contact our branch at 250-428-5351.
