On Monday, August 13th the Estonian Credit Union will be transitioning to a new website and online banking platform. Approximately two weeks after that, we will launch a new mobile banking app.
Why the change?
ECU is committed to giving it’s members the best and latest in technology, products and services. For this reason, we’ve partnered with Central1 to implement a new website, online banking and mobile app. These products will help members better manage and understand their money, with new tools and services.
This partnership will introduce a new integrated website and online banking, which also means better security and safer access to your accounts. The new partnership will also allow ECU to easily adopt new products and technology in the future.
What new things will members be getting?
ECU will be introducing a fresh, new design, with a mobile-friendly website and easier to navigate system. The new website will be integrated with online banking, so members can easily browse through the website while remaining logged into their online banking. They will also be able to browse the website on their mobile phones more easily with a nice, clean mobile website.
New online calculators, such as Mortgage Calculators and Retirement Planners will be introduced, a new ATM finder, new forms, a better layout, and more.
When the mobile app launches, members will easily be able to do transfers, make Interac e-Transfers, check balances without signing in, find nearby free-ATMs and much more. Plus, ECU will be introducing Deposit Anywhere – a tool that lets you deposit cheques easily from your phone or tablet simply by taking a picture.
