Biometric Requirements
You can use Fingerprint Login, Touch ID, or Face ID to log in to the Founders Online app.
The Fingerprint Login feature is based on the fingerprint API introduced with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Some Samsung and Nexus phones do not support Android's API, even though they include the hardware on the phone. These devices are not supported by the Fingerprint Login feature.
Fingerprint Login is a free feature currently only available for login authentication on eligible Android devices.
Touch ID and Face ID are only available for login authentication on supported Apple iOS devices and require user registration of the feature at the device level.
These are the present minimum requirements that are required to access and use the system, which may change without notice. We make no warranty or representation regarding the access speed that you will have now or in the future, as such is beyond the control of the Credit Union (depending largely on your computer system and internet speed). Minimum system requirements are subject to change without notice as the technology changes.
PDF Reader Requirements
We recommend the most recent version of Adobe Reader available for desktop and mobile devices. If you choose to use a third-party PDF application, we cannot guarantee documents will appear as intended.
