We’ve got some updates coming soon to online banking, cards and payments, all designed to help make banking with us safer and more seamless.
Upcoming changes include:
Confirmation of Payee
When you set up a new payee or make a payment, we’ll check whether the account owner name matches the account number. This helps give you more confidence you’re paying the right person or business and can help you spot potential scams.
Confirmation of Payee will apply to payments made between participating New Zealand banks through our internet banking and mobile banking app.
Card payment approvals
If you use your PCU Debit Mastercard online, you may already be familiar with 3D Secure (3DS), which is when you receive a text message code to confirm it’s really you making the payment.
Soon, instead of receiving a text message, you’ll be prompted to approve the payment in your PCU mobile banking app using your PIN or biometrics. This adds an extra layer of security while making it easy to verify your transaction.
Don't have our mobile banking app?
You can then download our app on either the Google Play Store or the Apple Store.
