As of June 24, 2019, online banking will be upgraded to allow for more secure passwords. All members need to change their online passwords to meet the latest recommendations.

We know changing your password can seem like a hassle, but we also know that our members appreciate the extra level of protection that regular security upgrades provide. In today’s increasingly connected world, ignoring online safety recommendations is simply not an option so we encourage you to make the change as soon as possible.

Over the next 84 days, all members will be required to login to their online/mobile banking accounts and create new more secure Personal Access Codes (PACs). New codes can be up to 30 characters long and can also include special characters such as @ # % ! * ^ $.

Members will have until September 16th to make the update, after which your old PAC will no longer work.

Steps to changing your PAC:

Step 1 - Online Banking Login

On June 24th, members will be able to update their personal access codes PAC to a more secure password including uppercase characters, and symbols. Luminus members who use online banking will be required to log in via the Luminus Financial website (www.luminusfinancial.com).

We recommend bookmarking the Luminus homepage to make access to online banking even easier. Mobile banking users can also use our Mobile Banking App available for both iOS and Android to make the changes.
