How do I manage my Online Business Banking? (Single Signature)

The following article is to support you as you set up and manage your Online Business Banking.  This guide is most suitable for an authorized signer of a business account that requires one signature.

If you are an authorized signer for a business account that requires two signatures, please review this guide.

If you are an Delegate of a business account, please review this guide.

 

Access:
In order to access your Business Banking online, you will need an active MemberCard debit card , an online banking password for the business account and to have set up Multi-Factor Authentication.  This will be used as your login credentials.  If you require a new card or need to reset your password, please contact a branch.
Since the introduction of Multi-Factor Authentication (a mandatory security feature of Vancity online and mobile app banking) the account owner or delegate (Online Business Banking only feature) may be required to enter a one-time code when accessing their Vancity accounts.

If this is your first time logging in, please review this information.  

Assign and Manage Delegates:
Lighten your workload by creating read-only delegates to view and check your accounts, or initiator delegates to create online transactions for you review and approve. Delegates can access your business account through the desktop site of vancity.com via login credentials that you are able to provide and manage.

There are various levels of authorization for Delegates that are determined and/or modified by the authorized signers of the account.
