Security & Encryption
e-Teller deploys full 256-bit security encryption and dual authentication. There are added layers of security that look for unauthorized or uncharacteristic behavior. You can also add your own additional layers of safety by adding unique security questions and using 2-step verification.
2-step Verification
e-Teller offers improved security management through 2-step verification.
Ownership of your account is verified through a second method, such as a code in a text message to your mobile number or a call to your home.
A solution to account lockouts
Usually, people are locked out of their accounts for multiple incorrect password attempts. We recommend enrolling for 2-step verification, which will allow you to unlock your own account.
Depending on what information you have on file with us, you can choose to verify ownership of the account with your home number, mobile number, or your security questions.
- Mobile phone number: Provide a current mobile phone number to us and take advantage of text verification codes.
- Home Phone number: You can verify with a call to your home phone number.
- Security Questions: Answer 3 security questions as a verification method. Contact us to use this method of verification.
Cross-Account Transfers
Transfer money quickly in e-Teller to friends and family who are also members of Spirit of Alaska FCU. It’s just like transferring money between accounts! To create a transfer recipient, simply request the last name and account number of the other member.
