Please Note: The first time you access your accounts online or using mobile banking, you will be required to setup 2-step verification. 2-step verification is an extra security step where you will need to provide a second piece of information, like a code sent your phone number, in addition to your usual banking password. This helps make sure only you can access your account, and it keeps your financial information more secure.

1. Navigate to the menu at the top left of the screen and select your profile name at the bottom.
2. You will then click Personal Settings > Security > Two-factor Authentication > Edit Settings
3. Under Add Another Method, you will select Setup for Voice or Text Messages and enter the joint member's phone number

5. Once prompted to enter a 2-Step Verification, the joint member will select Try Another Way at which point, their phone number will be provided as a 2-Step Verification option
