Online Banking Security Update

Please verify your browser settings

To provide the most secure Online Banking experience possible, SF Police Credit Union will be making some changes to comply with best practices mandated by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

As of May 24, 2018, members must have TLS (Transport Layer Security) version 1.1 or 1.2 enabled in order to use our Online Banking platform.

Although most devices/browsers currently support TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2, there is a possibility that you may need to update your browser version or settings, especially if you aren't using the most current version of your web browser.

Why is this change necessary?

SFPCU is making this change to bring you the most secure Online Banking experience possible.

TLS (Transport Layer Security) is a protocol that works with your web browser to keep web applications such as SFPCU's Online Banking secure. According to industry best practices and PCI (Payment Card Industry) mandates, web browsers that only use older versions of TLS (1.0) are not secure enough by today's standards, leaving information vulnerable to cyber attacks.

In the interest of our members' security, we are requiring that members use web browsers that support TLS 1.1 or higher in order to access Online Banking.

The majority of web users are already using a browser that supports TLS 1.1. If your browser isn't up to date yet, just follow the guidelines below for instructions on updating your browser version and settings.

Why am I seeing a "Stronger Security is Required" message?

If you're trying to access Online Banking after May 24, 2018 and you see a "Stronger Security is Required" message, you are most likely using a web browser that doesn't support TLS 1.1 or higher.

To upgrade your web browser and/or enable TLS 1.1 and 1.2, please follow the guides at the bottom of this web page.
