Enhanced Security

You can feel confident when conducting online transactions using e-Branch because U.S. government-required layers of security called "e-Branch Enhanced Security" (EES) and "Multi-Factor Authentication" (MFA) are enabled. This security helps protect your online identity, combat "phishing" attacks, and prevent fraud.

After contacting LAFCU during business hours and setting up a secret e-Branch PIN, before you access e-Branch you must securely identify yourself as follows:

  1. Register Your Computer: This must be done one time inside e-Branch in a process that establishes an association between the computer with your e-Branch PIN and LAFCU Member number. A computer can be any internet-access device, such as a personal computer, PDA, cell phone, etc., that you plan on using most often to access e-Branch. This registration will need to be done again if you replace your computer or certain software or hardware becomes damaged. If someone tries to access your e-Branch account from a computer that is not registered, they will be denied access.
  2. Set up a "Challenge" Question: This is a question to which only you will have the answer (which you should memorize), and you must set it up before you can access e-Branch from a "non-typical" and non-registered internet-access device (such as a friend's computer, internet cafe, etc.). When attempting to access e-Branch from such a device, you will be prompted to answer the question before access is allowed.
  3. Change Your PIN: For your protection, you should change your e-Branch PIN at least once every three to six months. You can change it yourself 24/7 when inside e-Branch.

e-Branch and all of its features are optimized for use with certified/recommended internet browsers, including Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.x & 8.x, Firefox 3.6, Google Chrome and Safari 4.0 and 5.0. If you use other browsers, you may not be able to take full advantage of all e-Branch features. iPhone and iPad users must use the latest operating system of 4.3.5 to access e-Branch.
