About Secure Access Code & Other Login Tips

What is a Secure Access Code (SAC) & what should I expect in receiving my SAC?

Once you select your preferred delivery method, Submit at the bottom of the page.

  • Phone Delivery: If you select phone delivery of your Secure Access Code, you'll receive an automated call from 844.238.4228. Answer the phone normally when the call arrives. You will be prompted to hear your code, and we will give you the option to repeat the code, if necessary. For security, we will not leave a code on voice mail; so, if you miss the call, just repeat the process.
  • Text Message Delivery: If you select text message delivery of your temporary code, you will receive a very simple message containing the requested code. Standard text message fees apply.
  • Email Delivery: If you select email delivery, you will receive a very simple email containing the requested code. If you do not receive this email, please check your "Junk Mail" box. You can configure your "Junk Mail" settings to allow future emails from our address.

Important: You must use the Secure Access Code provided within a short time frame following your request. After a short time frame, the code will no longer be valid. If your code expires, you will need to begin the registration process again.

What happens if my Secure Access Code (SAC) targets are blank or incorrect?

You will need to contact a member service representative via live chat or by phone at 844.238.4228 for assistance.

Will I retrieve a Secure Access Code each time to access Digital Banking?

No, if you are accessing Digital Banking from a personal/trusted computer, you’ll just need to register that device and will no longer have to retrieve a Secure Access Code when accessing Digital Banking from that device. However, you will retrieve a Secure Access Code each time you try to login in to Digital Banking from a device that is not registered.

Why might I be asked for a Secure Access Code if I have already registered my computer?

Your computer must allow cookies. Please check this in your browser settings. You may also need to add "secure.adviacu.org" to your trusted sites list. Note – in select other cases, you may be prompted for a secure access code (e.g., when performing transactions outside typical online activity).

My Joint Account Holder needs a Secure Access Code delivered – Can you help?

Secure Access Codes can only be delivered to phone numbers and email addresses we have on record for the primary account holder. If you have a joint account holder who’s registering their own device with your login credentials, they’ll want the SAC delivered to their own phone or email. To help, following your initial login, click on Settings>Security Preferences>Secure Access Code Delivery and add their email, phone or text message delivery information. If you do not add their delivery information, they’ll need to select one of your delivery options to receive their SAC (as a reminder, for added security, a SAC will expire in a short time frame less than 30 minutes).
