How  do I register for RediNet?

To register simply complete an application form available from your nearest branch or agency. You will be then issued with a password which will be sent to you by mail.
 

How do I know my session is secure?

Security is of utmost importance to both you our member and the credit union. Our browser based internet banking service uses the latest 128 bit Verisign digital encryption certificate to protect your data when it is being sent over the internet. Each time you connect to RediNet your browser is sent a digital certificate. This certificate securely identifies the site you are connecting to, and is used to establish the encrypted session. Confirmation that your internet banking session is encrypted is the appearance of a "lock" symbol at the foot of your browser.
 

How do I set my password?

When using RediNet for the first time, you are required to change the password issued to you.
Some rules for choosing a password are:
  • Passwords (Access Codes) must contain a minimum of 4 characters and a maximum of 10 characters. At least one of the characters in your password must be numerical.
  • They cannot have any blanks, or spaces, embedded in them
As an additional security measure, Redinet users will be forced to change their password every 180 days.

Password Do's and Dont's
  • Never disclose your password to anyone
  • Do not write it down or store it on your computer
  • Ensure no one watches you while you enter your password
  • Select a password that is difficult to guess; and
  • Change your password regularly

Internet Explorer 5.0 - When Attempting To Connect To Your Internet Banking Service You Receive The Message "This Page Cannot Be Displayed"

The reason for this is that each time a new connection is made to the server the Verisign certificate requires the browser to check if the Certificate is still valid.

To check your connection settings, click on Tools menu, then click on Internet Options, click on the Advanced tab, scroll down to Security and make sure that the Check For Server Certificate Revocation box is checked. Click on Apply Changes, a reboot of your computer will be required, then try again to access your Internet Banking Service.

Another alternative is to download another  browser such as Mozilla Firefox and use it to access the CWCU home page and Redinet Banking.
