Highmark Credit Union’s Online Banking is built to give you secure, 24/7 access to your accounts—anytime, anywhere. Whether you’re checking your balance or paying a bill, these tips will help you get the most out of your digital banking experience.
Q: On my mobile app, why can't I see the detail of the transaction when I use my Highmark credit card? All it shows is Loan Advance or Recurring Loan Advance and the amount.
A: Great question. Lots of members are confused by this. Simply click on the individual transaction under that specific date and you will be able to see the full detail about where the card was used.
Q: How do I log off the Mobile App? I want to be sure I am logged off and it is secure.
A: There is no log off button for the mobile app. As soon as you close the app or switch to a new app, you are automatically logged out and will need to log back in.
Q: How can I find my e-statements?
A: You can find statements by clicking on the title of one of your accounts and then choosing Documents from the next list of to-do items.
Q: I want to deposit my check remotely. Why can’t I find that on the app?
A: You must be signed up for e-statements in order to have access to remote deposit. Follow the instructions for e-statement sign-up under Documents to sign up!
Q: Why does the app keep sending a passcode to my phone when I already did this once?
A: Whenever you use a new IP address to connect to your account, multi-factor authentication will trigger and send a passcode to the phone of your choice. Either by text or call. If the original method chosen is not your preferred method to receive the code, please call 605-716-4444 and a representative can reset your authentication so you can set up a new method of authentication.
Q: It doesn’t look like Quicken is working with this app. Why not?
A: You must reconnect Quicken to the new system. This means you will need to disconnect from the old system and re-add your account with Highmark to connect to the new Online Banking System. Please contact Quicken if you need help with this process.
Q: With all the economic uncertainty now, I’m wondering if it’s safe to keep my money in my Highmark accounts. Should I be withdrawing my funds to keep them safe?
A: COVID-19 has pummeled the economy in an unprecedented way, and financial experts say the economic fallout of the pandemic is just beginning. But that doesn’t mean you need to start hoarding your money under your mattress. You don’t need to worry about the money you have at Highmark Credit Union.

Check re-orders
Currently, you cannot request a check reorder while logged into your account - We are working to get this option integrated. For now, please go to our homepage and click on tools and services, then choose check re-order from the drop-down list to re-order checks.
External Accounts
You can now transfer between institutions by setting up external account transfers. From the mobile app, this is located under Menu>Settings>External Transfers add an account. From within your browser log in this is located under Transfers>External Accounts, then +External Account. Initially, it will take 24 to 48 hours to set up the account because two deposit test transfers must be verified before regular transfers can take place. You will enter the deposit amounts of the two small test transfers in the same spot where you went to add the external account.
