Digital Banking FAQs

Access & Enrollment

Recommended browsers (current major release):
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Firefox
  • Safari
  • Chrome
Note: Microsoft no longer supports Internet Explorer versions older than 11.0, and security updates are not available. Please download one of the browsers listed above. Safari versions below 10.1.2 are not compatible with the initial log-in process. To complete the initial log-in process, upgrade to the latest version of Safari, or use Chrome or Firefox. The following types of browsers and tools are not recommended for use with digital banking:
  • Beta versions
  • Embedded browsers within Personal or Commercial Financial Management Software
The Apple mobile app will require a minimum version of iOS 11. The Android mobile app will require a minimum version of Android 5.0.
Online Banking: When accessing on a browser, click on your name at the top right-hand corner of the screen and select “Sign Out.” You will be taken to our website homepage and your session will be closed. Mobile Banking: When you are using the mobile app, there is not a log-out button to push. You can exit the app by going to a different app or your home screen. Each time you navigate away from the app, your active session is ended, which serves the function of a log-out button. When you navigate back to the app, you will be asked to re-authenticate, and if you have quick access features such as FaceID, TouchID, or passcode log on, you can gain access quickly each time. If you want to remove the connection between your device and your account altogether, you can go to the Menu > Settings > Remove Profile. This will remove all association between your account and the mobile device and app you are using. Each time you attempt to access the app after this, you will have to put in the full username, password, and 2-Factor authentication to authorize your account on that device.
For your security, your account will time-out after 10 minutes of inactivity.
  • Tap the slideout menu, and then select Settings.
  • On the Profile screen, select the pencil next to the end-user profile image.
  • Choose to use an existing photo or use the device's camera to take a new photo.
  • On the Move and scale screen, adjust the photo placement within the frame as desired.
  • Select Done.
  • Tap the slideout menu and select Settings.
  • Tap Security in the menu.
  • Tap the toggle next to Touch ID.
  • Select Enable Touch ID.
Yes, you can! You can customize a unique Dashboard set up for each of your devices. Changes to one device's Dashboard layout will not affect the arrangement on other devices.

Logging In

You can access the new digital banking and your account on a desktop, laptop, mobile phone, or other internet-accessible devices. Simply log in with your online banking credentials to both online and mobile banking. There are two access points:
  • Visit our website and click 'Log In' to get started
  • Download the NEW mobile banking app from the Google Play or Apple Store
Keep in mind, with the digital banking upgrade, you will not be able to access the website via old bookmarks or the previous mobile banking app. Once the upgrade is launched on August 23, 2021, you will want to update any saved bookmarks you have.
Two-Factor Authentication is a security measure that allows you to request a one-time access code to log in to digital banking. The code enhances security by creating an added layer on top of your unique username and password. This security process helps to verify you and better protect your credentials and the accounts you can access. You'll be able to select the method in which you receive your Two-Factor Authentication code. Options include:
  • Automated Phone Call
  • Text Message
  • Use of Authenticator App
Two-Factor Authentication relies on the contact information - such as primary phone number - you have provided the credit union to send your Two-Factor Authentication code. If your contact information is not up-to-date, you may receive an error when you attempt to log in.
No. Check the “Don’t ask for codes again on this computer” box if you do not want to receive a confirmation code or phone call each time you log in. If you prefer to input a confirmation code with each use, you can leave the box unchecked or use the 2-Factor Authentication app to deliver the code.

Note: If you ever want to remove a device and reset your security settings, you can change them in settings once logged in to digital banking.
Two-Factor authentication uses a unique one-time access code to verify identity and log on to digital banking. If you are unable to receive text (SMS) messages, you can choose to receive your access code via a phone call.
  • On the verification code screen click Try Another Way located beneath the Verify button
  • Select Phone Call and click Next
  • You will receive an automated phone call that will provide your access code (Have a pen and paper ready)
  • Return to the verification code screen
  • Enter your access code and click Verify
If you are still having trouble, contact the credit union at 865-482-4343 to ensure we have the correct phone number on file.
An email and a phone number are required for the two-step authentication. The one-time access code will be sent via text or phone call. The phone number must match our records for the additional security layer to work correctly.

Once in the 'Member Transfer' screen, you'll select the account you wish to transfer the funds from, enter the last three letters of the last name of the member you're transferring to, their member number, type, share number, and amount. FINDING MEMBER NUMBER: The member number is the last portion of the account number AFTER the zeros. For example, if your full account number is 1070001234567, the member number is 1234567. Member account numbers can be found by logging in to your digital banking, clicking on the account you wish to see transactions and details for, and looking in the 'Details' tab, located on the right-hand side of the account screen in online banking and the top of the account screen in mobile banking. TYPE: Share = checking or savings. Loan = loan. SHARE #: This will determine if you're transferring the money to someone's checking, savings, or a specific loan (if they have more than one loan). To transfer to someone's savings, you'll enter 0001, to transfer to someone's checking, you'll enter 0007. You can also find this identifying number in the full account number. For example, if your full account number is 1070001234567, the 107 tells you that it's checking.

Keep in mind, if we are unaware of your travels, it’s possible that your out-of-town card transactions could be flagged as potential fraud and declined.

Any 3rd Party Aggregator that you use (ex. Venmo, PayPal, EveryDollar, Quicken, QuickBooks) may need to be reconnected within each individual program. Keep in mind, because these are companies or programs that TN Members 1st does not have a formal agreement with or work with directly, you may need to reach out to the individual 3rd Party Aggregator support teams for assistance. We apologize but the credit union is not able to provide assistance specific to 3rd Party Aggregators and how their programs integrate with potentially eligible financial institutions. We also cannot guarantee connection to 3rd Party Aggregators with which we do not have a formal agreement, even if you were previously able to have your accounts connected.
While you may be able to connect your accounts, we are not able to guarantee fully integrated connections with 3rd party applications. TN Members 1st monitors the number of requests from members for 3rd Party direct connections to determine the need for formal product integrations in the future. TN Members 1st cannot provide technical support for programs and services that are not either directly offered by the credit union or offered through a formal relationship with the credit union's service providers. Contact the credit union for a list of current 3rd Party Connections and Aggregators we have a formal relationship with.
The connected apps section in your digital banking settings will only display apps that have 3rd Party Access through the Banno Open Auth Platform including Plaid (Beta Testing), Intuit, and Akoya. This section will not display all 3rd Party Apps you may be currently using as a member.
