  How do I get started?

Using cu@home to do your banking is easy. Follow these steps to get started:

  4. As long as you have the correct equipment (suitable computer, operating system and software and access to the Internet) you can begin internet banking.

Is cu@home secure?
Absolutely! Illawarra Credit Union's website is a secure region, with cu@home using the advanced technology of 128-bit encryption, preventing unauthorised access.

Logout Option
cu@home has a "log out" option that we encourage you use if leaving your computer unattended for any reason. Clicking on the "log out" tab will prevent others viewing your membership details.

Lock out
If your password is incorrectly entered a number of times cu@home will "lock out" the user. If it is an innocent password mistake on your behalf, simply call Illawarra Direct on 13 22 49 to have your access code re-activated.

If you experience any difficulties with cu@home simply call Illawarra Direct on 13 22 49.
