Troubleshooting tips
The alerts are based on thresholds you set in your Alert Preferences. To get the best from Financial Monitoring, ensure that your accounts stay updated and connected by visiting the portal or mobile app.
- Verify your login credentials: If you have updated your login credentials (e.g., username/password) with your financial institution, you need to update the login credentials in your identity dashboard, to allow us access to your financial accounts.
- Do not use the auto fill feature: When attempting to reconnect your account, please ensure that you type in your financial account login credentials, rather than having them auto filled by your web browser or password manager app.
- Account locked due to too many login attempts: Your financial account may have been locked due to too many failed login attempts. Log in through your financial institution's website. If you are unable to log in, contact your financial institution's customer service to resolve the issue.
- Financial institution account needs your attention: Login to your financial institution account and check if there is anything that needs your attention, such as updated Terms and Conditions, Promotional Message etc.
