In light of the pandemic, using the mobile app means you can do your banking more safely. There’s no need to come in to a physical branch so you’re reducing your contact with others.

Mobile banking on our app is a streamlined approach to banking. This saves you time in several ways. For example, you don’t have to drive to one of our locations, stand in line or fill out any forms or slips.
- Your banking will be more secure.
When you do your banking on the app you can be in the privacy of your own home, office or car — away from eavesdroppers and wandering eyes.
- You’ll have yet another way to connect into the VCU system.
Who doesn’t like options? Sometimes you need the in-person assistance that comes with going into a VCU branch. But other times — probably most times — you want to quickly complete common transactions. In those situations, doing them on the mobile banking app could be your best bet.
Honestly, we can’t think of any legitimate disadvantages of mobile banking.
Is Mobile Banking Safe?
The short answer is Yes. Mobile banking with VCU is safe. Here’s the longer answer, though, so you can be extra comfortable and confident when using our app.

Plus, our tech team is constantly improving the app to incorporate the latest mechanisms to keep your details locked down.
Pro Tip: Remember that mobile and banking security is a team effort. That’s why it’s important that you set a strong password and properly guard it. If your device supports biometric authentication, you can even choose to log into your account using face recognition or your fingerprint.
