It’s Me 247 Online Banking

BRINGING ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNTS, YOUR WAY!

Why It’s Me 247? Because it’s your credit union! You are a member… you are an owner. Whether you visit the credit union online or in a branch lobby, we want you to see yourself reflected in the credit union. With built-in security and personalization features, It’s Me 247 Online Banking lets you access your accounts, your way.

TIPS FOR FIRST-TIME USERS

The first time you log in to your accounts in online banking, you’ll need to enter your account number and temporary password. Your temporary password is the last four digits of your Social Security number. You’ll be required to change that to a permanent password in order to finish logging in the first time.

  • To keep your accounts secure, choose a password that is easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess.
  • Don’t use a birth date, or a child’s or pet’s name. Instead, use a combination of letters and numbers, or add symbols, or use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters to make it more difficult for someone to guess.
  • Never write down your password or share it with others!
  • Look for other tips on choosing a secure password when you log in for the first time.

After you log in, you’ll be asked to provide answers to three Security Questions that you get to choose. If you forget your password later, you’ll just need to answer these questions and online banking will help you set up a different password and get logged in.

Use Online Banking & Add Security Layers

You can add an extra layer of security to your accounts by setting up a custom username. The username would be used to sign into our online banking site, www.itsme247.com/123/ (as opposed to signing in with your account number).

HERE’S HOW:

  1. Log into online banking with your account number and password.
  2. Click Info Center.
  3. Click Username.
  4. Type your new username in the space provided.
  5. Click Change My Username.

You can change your username at any time. For more information or enrollment, feel free to contact customer service at customerservice@consumersfcu.org or (718) 266-2204.
