Two-Factor Authentication
A one-time passcode (OTP) is a security code that provides an additional layer of protection that safeguards sensitive information and certain online banking activities. It’s a numeric security code (up to 7 digits) that you will receive via text message to your mobile phone or to your email address when you perform certain activities. The code is time sensitive and valid only for a limited amount of time.
Here are some examples of when one-time passcodes are used:
- Register for online banking
- First time you sign in to online banking
- Add a new bill vendor
- Update contact information
- Change or reset your password
- Transfer funds to other members
- Add an Interac e-Transfer® recipient
If you were expecting to receive your passcode by email, first check your spam or junk mail folder. If you don't find it there, click resend the code on your confirmation screen to send it again. Sometimes the passcodes experience a slight delay when sent by email.
If you have a mobile phone number on file with us the verification code will automatically send the code to your mobile phone number. If you choose to have the code sent to your email address, you will receive a second code. The second code sent is the one that you should use.

You can set up alerts yourself, in online banking or on the mobile app, and choose how you will be notified. Just another convenient way to keep your banking experience secure.

If the toggle is in the "OFF" position, it will have no colour, meaning it is disabled and you will not receive paper statements.

Your RRSP and TFSA contribution limits are established by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and are based on many factors that we may not know. The limits are calculated by CRA and are communicated to you alone. For this reason, we recommend that you monitor your limits and make sure that you don't over-contribute to your RRSP and/or TFSA. Cornerstone can't prevent your transaction if it results in an over contribution.
Digital Banking - Small Business
As a signer on the business, we need to authenticate you as an individual.
Digital banking has a character limit when it comes to the business name, and your business name may be outside the limits. This will not impact any of the information sent with bill payments or what is stored in our banking system.
If you have your membership set up as requiring two-signer approval for transactions like bill payments and Interac e-Transfers®, you can approve the transaction within digital banking.
- Sign in to digital banking
- From the menu, click Business Services, then Review Pending Transactions
Note: Transactions expire after seven days.
Profile consolidation allows you, as a small business member, to add your personal account and/or other business accounts that you are a signer/owner of. This enables you to toggle back and forth between your business(es) and personal accounts.
How-To: Consolidate Profile
- Log in to digital banking via desktop (profile consolidation not available to set up in the mobile app)
- Select 'Business services'
- Click ‘Profile Consolidation’
- Click ‘Add Profile’
- Enter personal or business profile username
- Enter personal or business profile password
- Click ‘Continue’
- Confirm details and click ‘Continue’
Your profile is now added successfully.

Delegates are people such as an accountant, bookkeeper or employees who can be granted limited access to small business digital banking. Delegates can be created by any one of the authorized signers that have small business digital banking access.
Delegates will have their own username as a login and password that is provided to them by an authorized signer. Delegates will be able to see the accounts and associated transactions related to the login ID the business signer sets up for them.
Delegates can be set up with:
- Initiator access. Allows delegates to create transactions for the authorized signer(s) to approve without making the delegate an actual signer on the account(s). Delegates with initiator access can:
- Initiate transactions like a bill payment, transfer or Interac® e-Transfer.
- Create a similar transaction from previous transactions or recall a transaction (prior to approval).
- Initiator transactions require approval by the signer(s) in order to complete the transaction.
- Read-only access. Allows delegates to view account information but does not allow them to perform any transactions on the account.
Notes on Delegates:
- There is no maximum number of delegates that can be set up.
- Once the username is selected, it cannot be changed.
- The username will need to be communicated to the delegate separately.
- Any account signer can add, view, or edit a delegate.
- Cornerstone does not have access to your delegates, therefore we are unable to add, edit, delete, lock or reset their password on your behalf.
- Login to digital banking via desktop or tablet (can’t be done on the app just yet)
- Select ‘Business services’
- Click ‘Delegate management’
- Click ‘Add delegate’
- Create delegate username
- The username should be between 5-34 alphanumeric characters.

- Click the radio button to select the access level - Initiator or Read-only access
- Click the radio button to select how the password will be received (email or mobile number)
- Enter the email
- Enter the mobile phone
- Type in any notes that apply to the delegate
- Accept express consent
- lick ‘Continue’
- Confirm details and click ‘Continue’
- An authentication code will then be sent to you by email or text message and simply enter the received code into enter code field and click ‘Continue’
- Delegate added successfully
- The delegate will now receive their temporary password via email or text.
Your delegate will be prompted to change his/her temporary password when logging in for the first time. The new password is recommended to be 10-30 characters, containing at least:
- one upper case letter
- one lower case letter
- one number
How-to: Set up Business Alerts
Desktop:
- Log in to digital banking
- Select ‘My Cornerstone’

Mobile App:

- Select ‘Alert Settings’
- Select ‘Business Alerts’
- Select from the options to customize to signor requirements
You can set up as many delegates as you wish, there is no maximum number of delegates that can be set up.
One person who has signing authority for the accounts will create a username for the delegate when adding them to the membership. After this, a temporary password will be sent to the signer to enter into the system. Once the delegate is set up, they will use their new sign in information and they’ll be prompted to create their own unique password the first time they sign in.
Delegates can initiate transactions, but not authorize or complete them. If the business account requires two approvals, the delegate can create a transaction, and then two signers will have to sign in to approve it.
To consolidate a profile the member must be a signer on the business account. Delegates will have to sign in to each business membership.
Yes, you can grant one of two permissions for each delegate on each business: read-only or initiator.
Delegates can initiate transactions, but not authorize or complete them. If the business account requires two approvals, the delegate can create a transaction, and then two signers will have to sign in to approve it.
You can download your transactions into the format needed for QuickBooks and Quicken by scrolling to the bottom of your account and selecting the 'Export' button. These documents can then be uploaded into QuickBooks or Quicken.
The signer, or signers, on the business account, haven’t completed the setup process for the new digital banking experience. Once they finish getting set up, they can add you back as a delegate.

Yes, there are transaction limits for purchases made using Interac Flash. This is for your safety and security.
A single transaction using Interac Flash® cannot exceed $100 and there is a cumulative spend limit of $200. When the cumulative spend limit is reached, you are prompted to insert your card and enter your PIN to complete the transaction. This validates you as the legitimate cardholder and resets the limits.
These limits have been set by Interac, therefore we do not have the ability to change or increase the limits for Flash transactions.
Holds are placed on cheques for your safety to reduce the risk of fraudulent transactions. There may be a hold of up to four business days on a cheque deposit, whether it's deposited by branch or through our CornerstoneCU mobile app.
To find out how long the hold is and to inquire about lifting the hold, call us at 1.855.875.2255.
