Self-Serve Personal Access Code (PAC) Reset

General Questions

Self-Serve PAC reset is a digital banking feature which allows you to reset your Personal Access Code whenever you need to on your own.

Using Self-Serve PAC Reset is easy. You will need your account number (the same one you use to log into online banking) and the last 3-digits of your SIN. You will also need to have your mobile phone or email address that you use for 2-Step Verification close by, as you will need to receive and enter a verification code to confirm your identity.

Self-Serve PAC Reset is very safe and uses secure information along with 2-Step Verification as an added layer of security.

There are a couple of reasons why you may have received an error message. First, in order to use Self-Serve PAC Reset, you will need to be registered for 2-Step Verification. This feature is part of the way that we confirm your identity during the Self-Serve PAC Reset process.

If you are registered for 2-Two Step Verification and are receiving an error message, we recommend contacting your branch as some of your details on file may need to be updated before you’re able to access the self-serve options.

Absolutely! You are always welcome to visit your credit union for additional help resetting your PAC.
