MEMBER CARD® debit cards with Interac® Flash are being issued by Tandia as of November  2016.  Interac Inc. has produced issued an awareness brochure for handy reference, and here are some frequently asked questions about the new Interac Flash feature.

1. What is Interac Flash?

Interac Flash is the contactless payment functionality technology that is being added to new Tandia MEMBER CARD debit cards.  It allows you to pay for smaller purchases faster and easier by just holding up your Flash-enabled debit card to a point of sale terminal that supports this contactless functionality.  The purchase will automatically be deducted from your primary transaction account without having to insert your card in the chip reader or use your PIN (Personal Identification Number). 

You don’t HAVE to use Interac Flash for smaller purchases – you can continue to insert your card and use your chip/PIN for any point-of-sale transaction - it is simply an added payment convenience available if and whenever you choose to use it.

2. How do I use my new Interac Flash debit card?

It’s important to know that when you receive your new Interac Flash card and use it for the first time, that you must insert your card and use your PIN for the first transaction.   Interac Flash will then be activated for future transactions. 

Additionally, the store’s point of sale terminal must support this form of contactless payment.  Look for the contactless logo on the device screen or you can ask the business if they accept  Interac Flash.  Then, simply hold your card on the supporting reader and a beep and/or an approved message on the screen will indicate that your transaction has been completed and funds have been immediately debited from your account.

3. How secure is Interac Flash?

There are several security features in place that ensure Interac Flash debit cards are safe.  Interac Flash leverages secure chip processing.  This protects Interac Flash against skimming, counterfeiting and transaction replay types of fraud, including electronic pick-pocketing.  Interac Flash technology protects your card from being copied and counterfeited. 

Consumers are fully protected with Interac Zero Liability Policy that allows for 100% reimbursement of funds if your card is lost or stolen.  You can learn more about Interac Flash security here.

In addition, as an added security measure to ensure that your card is in your possession, the point of sale terminal will randomly and from time to time disallow the use of the contactless method for the transaction, and prompt you to insert the card and enter your PIN.  This ensures that the rightful card owner is in possession of the card. 

4. Will my current PIN work on my new Interac Flash debit card?

No, we regret that we cannot replace an active Member Card debit card with an Interac Flash-enabled replacement without issuing a new PIN.  In advance of receiving your new Interac Flash card via mail, you will receive a separate mailer with a new PIN.  If your card is issued at a branch, you can re-PIN your new card right then and there.  You can change your PIN at any time by visiting a Tandia branch or at any Tandia ATM or Exchange Network ATM location.

5. Are there fees associated with using Interac Flash?

There are no additional or new fees associated with Interac Flash transactions - the fees remain the same and are dependent on the type of account being debited.  Please refer to Interac Direct Payment fees in our Service Fee Bulletin.

6. What are the limits on Interac Flash transactions?

For security purposes, you can “tap” your card to pay for transactions that are $100 or less, and may do multiple transactions in one day, up to a total of $200. After that point, you must re-enter your PIN at a point-of-sale terminal which will then reset your $200 limit allowing for subsequent Interac Flash purchases.

7. Can the limits on Interac Flash Member Card debit cards be customized?

No, the limits are set by Interac® and cannot be altered.

8. Are Interac Flash limits included in the overall point-of-sale daily transaction limits?

Yes.

9. Can I deactivate Interac Flash on my Member Card debit card?

If you do not wish to have the Interac Flash feature on your new Member Card debit card, you can request that it be disabled at any branch or through the Member Solutions Centre.

10. Can I reactivate the Interac Flash feature later?

Yes, you can reactivate in the future, however there will be a reactivation fee of $15.00 due to the network costs that Tandia incurs to make these changes to your Interac Flash debit card.

11. What happens in the event of a lost/stolen Interac Flash Member Card debit card?

Remember, Interac Flash is backed by Interac’s Zero Liability Policy to protect you from unauthorized use of your card.  Don’t panic but please contact us immediately – during regular business hours, you can call us at 1.800.598.2891 and we will talk you through the process from start to finish.  After hours, please call our Card Services partner at 1.800.567.8111 or collect 1.306.566.1276.

12. Can I accidentally pay for something if I stand or hold my debit card too close to a terminal?

Two things would have to happen at the same time for a transaction to go through while your card is still in your wallet.  First, the point-of-sale terminal would have to be ready to receive a debit transaction.  Second, your card would have to get within 4 cm of the terminal.  It is good to be aware of where your card is when entering line-ups for purchases, but making a purchase without being aware is virtually impossible.

 

Your Personal Access Code (PAC) and login authentication steps give you access to these 24/7 services and guarantees that your accounts and transactions are private and secure.  Please note that your PAC is different from your PIN and must be kept confidential - memorize it - as it is your 'virtual' signature and authorization for online transactions.

*Your signed authorization is required. To arrange, visit your branch or call our Member Solutions Centre at 1.800.598.2891.

Getting started

Using online banking is as easy as point and click.  To get started, obtain a PAC, log onto our website, click on 'login to online banking' and follow the online instructions to easy money management.

A National Surcharge-Free ATM Network

THE EXCHANGE® is a network of banks and credit unions that have come together and agreed to never charge each other’s cardholders any surcharge fees—at thousands of ATMs across Canada. As a proprietary ATM network, THE EXCHANGE® Network offers the only inter-institutional, full-function ATM network in Canada.

Through this partnership, you can make surcharge-free withdrawals, deposits or PIN changes, Canada-wide. You will never pay any surcharge fees to access your own money even if you use another member institution’s ATM network. Of course, you still have to pay your normal account fees but that’s it, nothing extra.

So long as they’re all part of THE EXCHANGE® Network, bank customers can use credit union ATMs and Credit Union customers can use bank ATMs, surcharge-free. Just look for ATMs with THE EXCHANGE® logo.

US Accel® Point of Sale Network

Many financial institutions also offer access to the Accel Point of Sale (POS) debit network in the United States. The Accel network is one of the largest POS networks in the United States with more than 3,000,000 merchant locations in the network.

The Accel network in the United States works exactly the same way debit card purchases work at home. Purchases are paid for by swiping or inserting your debit card and verifying the transaction with your confidential PIN. As an added value, a cash back option is also available at the majority of merchants.

1. What has changed? 

Our updated Online Banking with Personal Financial Management brings all your accounts and financial information into one place and offers new budgeting and spending tools to help you stay on top of your finances.  With Tandia’s online banking financial management tools you can:

2. Is my banking and personal information safe?

Keeping your financial information safe and secure is very important to us. Our online services offer you the best security currently available in a commercial environment so that your personal and financial information is protected. For more information, please review our online security guarantee.

3. Is there any cost for this service? 

No. This is a free service to help you track your spending and feel more confident about the financial decisions you make.
 

4. Are my past transactions already categorized? 

Yes. We’ve automatically categorized your past five months of transactions, and created a default budget based on those transactions, so you can start tracking your spending right away. You can also change the names of those categories and create sub-categories to suit your needs.
 

5. How is this different from Mint.com? 

Mint.com is not a financial institution. It is a third party software provider that acts as an aggregator of customers’ banking information. It does not allow users in Canada to perform any online banking activities, such as pay bills or transfer money. Our online banking platform offers easy-to-use tools to help you see your full financial picture, all within a banking website you know and trust.
 

6. What if I don’t want to use the features? 

You can minimize the view of the budget and spending features, which makes the format look similar to what you have used in the past. When you use the same device to log in to your online banking, your preference of hiding the interface will be remembered.
 

7. Will I be able to link my banking information from accounts in another country?

You can link your accounts from other participating financial institutions across Canada or the United States.
 

8. Are the budgeting and spending tools included in mobile platforms? 

Yes. Our Mobile Web and Mobile App includes the ability to view (not manage) spending, budgets and categories for accounts held with us and through other financial institutions.
 

9. Why should I use your financial management tools? 

There are a few great reasons why you will want to use our financial management tools:

  •  Your every financial transaction is in a place you already trust
  • Create budgets you can track and change as life happens
  • See your expenses by categories that make sense to you
  • Get the big picture of how you spend, save and live
  • Check your mobile device when you are on the go

10. Will staff be able to see my banking information at other financial institutions? 

No. Your privacy is our priority. Please see our online privacy & security policy to learn more about how we keep your information safe.

11. Can I link my investment portfolios and credit cards?

Yes. Note that for each account you link, you will be asked to consent before the link can be created.|

12. I already linked my credit card, but now I am receiving an ‘Account Error’ message indicating ‘Re-Verification Required’. Is this going to happen every time I log in? 

When linking to an external account, you may have been prompted for only some and not all of the security questions related to that account, so the first few times you log in you may see this error. Once you update your credentials as requested and all of your security questions have been cycled through, this should not happen again. This will also occur when you change the password for your external account; an error message will appear and you will be prompted to re-verify.

13. Previously when reviewing Account Activity, in addition to my balance I could also view my limit, available funds and current rate under ‘more details’. These additional details do not show under ‘Account Details’ - where can I find them? 

We are currently working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible to ensure that your limit, available funds and current rate are displayed in online banking.  In the meantime, we ask that you review your latest eStatement to reference this information. You may also contact our Member Solutions Centre at any time for this information.

14. Can I link other Tandia accounts under a different Tandia membership number so I can see all of my Tandia accounts at a glance? 

This feature is currently not available. Alternatively, you can add assets and liabililities held under separate memberships in the Assets and Liabilities section at the bottom of the Account Summary page.

Questions?

1. What is a mobile app? 

A mobile application (mobile app) is software that can be downloaded from an online app store and installed onto a compatible mobile device.  Mobile apps offer diverse functions and activities ranging from games and social networking, to business, e-commerce and financial applications.

Tandia™ Mobile is a mobile banking application available for both Android and Apple (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) devices and offers the most sought-after features of mobile banking apps including QuickView and Deposit Anywhere™.

 

2. Do I have to pay anything? 

Absolutely not.  Tandia Mobile is free for our members to download, and you will never be charged for using the app.  However, since the mobile app uses data, your carrier may charge, so standard data and messaging rates may apply.
 

3. How do I download the mobile app? 

Tandia Mobile can be downloaded in just three easy steps:

For Apple devices:
• Using your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, search for Tandia™ Mobile in the App Store
• elect the app icon,and verify that the author of the app is Tandia

4. What is QuickView? 

The unique QuickView feature displays the balances of your selected accounts at any time the app is open, without needing to login first.
 

5. Does the QuickView feature automatically display my balances? 

When you first download the app, for your convenience the default setting of the QuickView feature is "On". You can turn the QuickView feature ‘off’ under Settings / Preferences on the mobile app.
 

6. Will the mobile app work if I have a shared or joint account? 

Yes. Just enter your account details as you normally would for online banking.
 

7. If my phone is lost or stolen, will my information be at risk? 

Your account can only be accessed by entering your personal access code. However, if you've activated the QuickView feature, your account balances will be visible. For additional security, we recommend you keep your mobile device password protected. Please note: at any time, you can stop the mobile app from accessing your account information by un-pairing it through regular online banking.

As a rule, you should contact your mobile carrier right away to deactivate your device if it’s lost or stolen.  You may also change your personal access code (PAC) by contacting us or calling our Member Solutions Centre at 1.800.598.2891.

The short answer is, unfortunately no.  We will continue to provide mobile web banking that is currently accessible by all mobile/smart devices including BlackBerry devices: https://www.tandia.com/m.

We have voiced on behalf of members, the periodic requests for a BlackBerry app from our members. Our online services partner, Central 1 Credit Union, is unable to cost-effectively develop a BlackBerry app for the credit union system at this time.

10. Can I install the Android version of Tandia Mobile on my BlackBerry device? 

While we are aware that this may be possible, Tandia is not currently able to offer support or endorsement for the installation of Tandia Mobile on BlackBerry devices.  If members choose to install the Android app on their BlackBerry device, they do so at their own risk.
