While cybersecurity is an ongoing and very serious issue at the best of times, security experts say the spike in email scams during this coronavirus pandemic is the worst they have seen in years. This includes scams arising through email, text, phone or door to door.

Examples of scams:

• Emails and texts from a financial institution asking you to click a link to be pre-approved for a low-interest rate loan to help you through these uncertain times
• Email from someone in your company requesting to upload personnel information, or to send an urgent wire transfer.
• Email advising to open an attachment from the World Health Organization (WHO) for more information on COVID-19
• Fear-mongering emails, such as "Virus is now airborne" or "products Made in China have virus on them" and have a link to get more information
• Emails from seemingly legitimate sources asking you to click "Donate here to help", or "Click here to see the tax cuts", or "Your Zoom attendees are waiting."
• Phone call from government or health providers requesting credit card or banking information

Stay vigilant:

• ​Tips for email in your work/personal email inboxes, for texts, and for phone calls
• Be suspicious of any email or text that asks you to do something out of the ordinary
• Do not open any attachment from an unknown sender, including known businesses
• Hover over any links within any received email to view the URL address of that link; do not click that link before confirming the URL it links to
• If you receive an email or text from any business or service with a link to click that seems legitimate, do not click the link, but rather go to the original website
• Do not provide any financial/credit card or personal information to anyone via email, text or over the phone, regardless of how legitimate it sounds
• Be sure that any action you are taking at your business is a legitimate request: emails from CEO, COO, etc., that are out of the ordinary must be confirmed with that person

Recommended action:

If you are a business, stay vigilant and report suspicious activity within your organization. Make sure all your employees see this information so they can stay aware as well. Post this information for your customers, on your websites and on your social media channels.
​
***A number of phone and online scams continue to circulate. A new one is a phone call supposedly from  MB hydro to say that your electricity will be cut off if you don’t pay a bill. Hydro has stopped doing any disconnections at this time. Hang up if contacted in this way

As a result, we acknowledge that our members will have questions, therefore, we have developed the following frequently asked questions for your reference.  Please take a moment to review the FAQ below.

If you still have questions, please call our Contact Centre at 1-844-826-6500 from 7am-7pm Monday thru Saturday.

Why can't I come to the branch if I just got back from a cruise/vacation?
As recommended by Manitoba public health, anyone who has traveled in the last 14 days should self-isolate to ensure they don’t start to present any symptoms of the virus. During these 14 days, even without symptoms an infected person can be contagious. We want to ensure you can still do your daily banking and therefore, ask that you use one of our online or self-serve options.

I don't want to use online banking, how can I still do my banking if the branch is closed?
Online banking is very convenient and user friendly. However, if you prefer you can either use our ATM or iTM services, telephone banking or call our Contact Centre at 1-844-826-6500.

I need a new debit card, can I get one?
Yes, if you need a new debit card, we ask that you call your local branch to book an appointment.

I don't have a debit card to use the ATM or iTM, can I get one?
Yes, if you book an appointment at your branch, they can issue you a new debit card to use at the ATM or in stores. Fortunately, you do not require a debit card to use our iTMs. The representative will simply ask you some questions to verify your identity.

How can I deposit my cheque?
As always, you can use Deposit AnyWhere which allows you to take a photo of your cheque and deposit it using our mobile app. For more information, click here.

Also, you can deposit your cheque at any Noventis ATM or iTM. For a listing of our ATM and iTM locations please click here.

How can I pay a bill?
Most bills can be registered as a bill payment on your online banking and paid directly. Alternatively, you can call our Contact Centre (1-844-826-6500), utilize telephone banking or visit one of our iTM’s. Furthermore, you can mail a cheque directly to the vendor.

How can I transfer money to my child in university?
The most convenient way to transfer money is to send an e-transfer using online banking. Alternatively, if the person you are transferring to is a Noventis member and you know their account number, you can call our Contact Centre (1-844-826-6500) and they will assist you with the transfer.

How can I withdraw cash?
We recommend that you use your debit or credit card at this time. However, if it is essential that you need cash, you can withdraw it from any Noventis ATM or iTM. Additionally, you can withdraw cash at any CU ATM on the Ding Free Network for no additional fees. To find a ding free ATM click here.

How can I register for online banking?
To register for online banking, call our Contact Centre at 1-844-826-6500 anytime from 7am-7pm Monday thru Saturday and they will walk you through your options.

How long will you have the branches temporarily closed for walk in services?
We will continue to monitor the situation and recommendations from the government of Manitoba. At this time we don’t know an exact timeline. For regular updates, please visit our website or follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Can I still order cheques?
Yes, you can order cheques using online banking or by calling our Contact Centre at 1-844-826-6500.

What can Noventis do for members who are unable to make their mortgage payments due to COVID-19?

This is a small way we can help you focus on the things most important to you, such as your health and family. Click here for more information.

I operate a business and need to visit the branch to pick up coin, can I still do this?
Yes, all businesses will be contacted Monday March 23rd and advised of the process for special requests. If you have additional questions, please contact your local branch or our contact centre (1-844-826-6500).

I have a business deposit to bring to the credit union, how can I do this?
For all business deposits, we ask that you drop it off in our secure night deposit drop box- available at each branch. Each deposit should be sealed in an envelope or sealable bag with the business name and account number included as well as a summary of the deposit. All night deposits will be processed within one business day. If this is not an option, please contact your local branch to schedule an appointment.

What is Noventis doing to help limit the spread of COVID-19?
At our branches we have increased our cleaning practices and have implemented mandatory social distancing for staff and members. We are screening members who wish to enter the branches, and encouraging staff that can work from home, to work form home. Furthermore, we are requesting that all members conduct their daily banking activities online or by using our self-serve options such as: the ATM, iTM, Telephone banking and Contact Centre.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve on a daily basis, we want to keep you informed.

What are we doing to protect our staff and members in branches?

Our priority is the health and safety of our employees and their families, our members and our communities. In order to maintain a safe environment in our branches our employees have all been advised to follow the guidelines set out by the government.

Specifically, common surfaces are being sanitized on a regular basis. We encourage our employees to wash their hands regularly, avoid direct contact with others such as shaking hands and to stay home when feeling ill.

What can you do to help?

At this time, in order to prevent further spread of the virus, we ask that anyone visiting our branches follow the same protocol. Additionally, if you do present symptoms of the virus, are under self-quarantine or have been in contact with an individual who has been directed by public heath to quarantine , we ask that you do not visit our branches and rather call our Contact Centre or conduct your daily banking online.

Where possible we encourage online banking options to reduce in-person contact in our branches.
