Interac e-transfers® may need to be 're-trained' if you currently do not subscribe to auto deposit.
When accepting an e-transfer for the first time with your new app, please follow these steps:
- select deposit through another Financial Institution
- then select Saskatchewan from the Province drop down
- select Foam Lake Credit Union from the Credit Union dropdown
This should only need to be done the first time you accept an e-transfer and Interac will remember your preference!

When receiving an INTERAC e-Transfer for the first time in the new Digital Banking platform (which launched April 12, 2022), and if you had received INTERAC e-Transfers previously, you may be presented with the Foam Lake Credit Union name and logo. If this is the case, please follow these steps:
- Bypass selecting Foam Lake Credit Union/clicking on the logo
- Scroll down to “Select a different financial institution”.
- Select Foam Lake Credit Union from the list.
The reason for this is due to your device remembering where to go, which is the old platform that is no longer there.

Small Business
Small business digital banking is new to Foam Lake Credit Union members. It offers a unique set of features that's set apart from other personal digital banking services. The key features that distinguish the Small Business services from other digital banking services are:
- Profile consolidation (consolidation of personal and business profiles)
- Dual-signature support (for 2-to-sign accounts)
- Delegates (multiple user support)
In addition, signers are able to approve transactions on the go from their mobile devices.
First things first, you will need to create a profile.
- Go to the login screen and enter your Member Card® debit card number for your business and your Personal Access Code 'PAC’
- Choose a unique username. (DO NOT use your debit card number. Your username CANNOT be changed.)
- Choose a new password (following the password rules provided).
- Enter your personal mobile phone number or email address associated with your account.
- A popup window may display asking for a one-time passcode you received by your mobile device (text message) or email address associated with your account. Enter the code and click 'Continue'.
- Confirm details and click 'Create user profile'.
- User profile is successfully created. Click 'Proceed to sign in
- You will be redirected to the login screen. Enter your new username and password.
You will see all consolidated profiles at the top right of the page by hovering the mouse over the active profile name. The member's name will always show first then it will identify which profile is active under the personal name.
To consolidate profiles, you must be an owner or signer on all profiles. An unlimited number of profiles (both business and personal) can be consolidated as long as this requirement is satisfied.
Delegates are people within a business (non-signers) who have limited access to online banking accounts. Delegates are created by signers and can be either 'read-only' or 'initiators'.
'Read-only' delegates can only view account activity.
'Initiator' delegates can view accounts and initiate (set up) transactions, which must be approved by a signer before they are completed.
For example, a receptionist may have read-only access to look at transactions and a bookkeeper may have initiator access to set up bill payments and transfers.
Each signer can add an unlimited number of delegates. All delegates can be seen and managed by all signers.
No, delegates can only see the accounts under the business profile they are linked to. If other profiles have been consolidated, the delegate will not be able to access or view those profiles and/or accounts.
Delegates can reset their own password by using the 'Forgotten Password' feature on the login page. Or the delegate's signer can reset it for them.
A delegate's access can be locked to ensure they are unable to access the accounts. Delegate's cannot be deleted from the profile once added.
