A better banking experience is here.
We thank you for your continued support and patience as we worked to complete our banking system upgrade to merge our banking system with WFCU Credit Union. This upgrade was completed as part of our commitment to continue to provide you with an improved and seamless banking experience.
We are happy to announce that the upgrade is now complete and access to our online and mobile banking, including all of their features, is now restored.
Should you have any questions concerning your account, please contact our Member Contact Centre at info@myECU.ca and we will be happy to assist you.
Online Banking & Mobile App Users
If you are an online banking user, the way you access your online banking will look different. You will now be directed from the myECU.ca website to the WFCU online banking login. Rest assured this is temporary as we work on a permanent solution to give you access to market-leading digital banking services.
When logging into online banking for the first time, your account number and PAC will remain the same. However, you may notice a different list of branch names to choose from. From the list, we ask that you select Kitchener, Waterloo or Cambridge based on your branch.
Similarly to online banking, all ECU – A Division of WFCU Credit Union members will be required to download the WFCU Mobile App in order to continue using mobile banking. The WFCU Mobile App is available to download on the Apple iTunes® and Google Play stores. The ECU Mobile app will no longer work beyond May 1, 2021 and can be deleted from your device. For more information on how to delete the old app and install the WFCU Mobile Banking app, click here.
