MFA is a security feature designed to protect the privacy and security of your GECU Online Banking account and personal information. MFA setup occurs during enrollment and can be edited/updated at any time (under My Settings). MFA is required the first time you log in with a new device. Upon set-up, you may also choose to register your personal computer. This means it will recognize your computer as one that you authorize to access your account and it won’t ask you to verify your login. When you access Online Banking from an unregistered computer, you’ll be asked to verify your identity by receiving a text message or email with a one-time password to verify your device. This password is 6 numerical digits and expires in 10 minutes.
