Introduction

Welcome
At Servus Credit Union flexibility is the focus of our business banking partnerships. We understand that
managing your cash flow is essential to the success of your business. With this in mind, we are pleased to
welcome you to Commercial Net Banking - a powerful new service designed to give you more financial
control.
Now you can do more in less time. With Commercial Net Banking you can access multiple memberships
and banking plans with one simple login.
We also took into consideration your need to have more than one employee with the ability to process
transactions. Therefore, Commercial Net Banking has two distinct functions – one for Administrators and
one for Users. Your company chooses up to two Administrators, who can assign, manage and audit
Users. There is no need to contact Servus Credit Union each time a change in Users is required – your
company administrators have complete control. Users are able to perform financial transactions such as
check balances, transfer funds, pay bills – even view cheque and statement images.
You can also initiate stop payments within the Commercial Net Banking system– a service previously only
available by visiting your branch. Other features include a built-in transaction approval system and the
ability to view and sort up to 240 historical transactions at a time.
With Commercial Net Banking, access to your company’s account information is available 24 hours a day,
7 days a week, giving you the flexibility and control you need.

Site address
Commercial Net Banking is available through our website (servus.ca) by clicking on the green "Sign In"
button, and selecting "Commercial" from the drop-down menu.

System requirements
 Internet access

 Internet Explorer 11 or the latest Chrome browser

Service and support


Your company administrator will be able to assist you with set up or answer any questions. Alternatively,
you may call 1.877.378.8728 to speak with a Servus Credit Union representative.

Internal controls
Our first concern is always to protect the security, integrity and confidentiality of your financial
information. Servus Credit Union strives to provide a safe and secure Commercial Net Banking
environment using the latest in security technology. The following are some of the key ways in which
Servus Credit Union protects your business:
 Encryption (128-bit)

 Firewalls

 Monitoring systems

Commercial Net Banking User Guide | 3


Encryption technology
Servus Credit Union uses 128-bit encryption technology that scrambles information transmitted over the
Internet. In order to use Commercial Net Banking your computer must use a browser that supports 128-bit
encryption.

Firewalls
Servus Credit Union uses firewalls to screen all in-bound and out-bound messages to ensure that only
legitimate banking commands are able to pass through to the Commercial Net Banking system. Any
messages that do not meet strict requirements are rejected and the session is terminated. This
technology stops hackers from gaining access to our site and to your personal data.

Monitoring systems
Servus Credit Union constantly monitors its computer systems to ensure that there has been no security
attack or unauthorized access.

Password protection
As a User of the Internet and Commercial Net Banking you also play an important role in protecting your
information.
You should create a password that has both uppercase and lowercase characters and numbers; this
should be changed on a regular basis. When selecting an access code or password do not use personal
information that may be determined or accessible by others, such as names, birthdates, or addresses, or
that are similar in whole or in part to other existing passwords, personal identification numbers or security
codes. Avoid keeping written records of access codes or passwords.
Your access code or password should never be revealed or disclosed to anyone. If you become
suspicious that another party has learned your access code or password you should change it
immediately.

Cheque matching
Cheque fraud is an ongoing problem. To help protect your business, Administrators may enroll in one of
our cheque matching services: Positive Pay or Negative Pay.

 With Positive Pay, designated Users will add information about the business's issued cheques
into Commercial Net Banking on a daily basis (Mon-Fri). As cheques clear the account they are
compared to the list of issued cheque and any discrepancies are shown in Commercial Net
Banking. Users can then decide whether to pay or return the mismatched cheques.
 With Negative Pay, designated Users will be shown a list in Commercial Net Banking of all
cheques that have cleared the business's account. Users will then manually compare this list to
the business's record of issued cheques on a daily basis (Mon-Fri). If Users find a mismatch they
can decide to either pay or return the mismatched cheque.

Cheque matching will feature the following services:

 Positive Pay- add issued cheques (manually, or through a file upload)


 Negative Pay – view cleared cheques
 View, pay or return mismatched cheques
 Audit cheque matching decisions

Caution!

For the cheque matching service to work properly we're relying on Users to perform their duties each
business day (Mon-Fri).

 With Positive Pay Users must upload their issued cheques each business day and submit their
decision on any mismatched item by the 11am cutoff.
 With Negative Pay Users must compare the cleared cheques to the cheques they have issued
and submit their decision on any mismatched items by the 11:00am MT cutoff.

Note: Neglecting these duties can result in legitimate cheques being returned. It is therefore
recommended multiple Users be trained in cheque matching in the event a Use is away from work.

Using the cash management function you can easily monitor the credits/debits to/from your company’s
cash management account and the resulting balance.
To access the cash management function, select “cash management” from the left-hand side navigation.

Banking. To return to Commercial Net Banking from the cash management site select “return to net
banking” at the top of the page.

The first page after entering the cash management site is the daily position page. This page shows the

updated daily, the last available reporting date being one day previous to the current date.

Account preferences

The preferences function provides two options that give you the ability to personalize the Commercial Net
Banking drop down lists. Select “preferences” on the menu bar to the left of the screen. This will display
two options: drop down order and account groups.

Drop down order


The drop down order function gives you the ability to choose the order in which your accounts will display
in the drop down listings within Commercial Net Banking.

Commercial Net Banking User Guide | 38


1) Select the first account you want listed by placing a 1 in the box beside the account. Each
account has to be updated individually; this is achieved by selecting the orange update button.

2) Select the second account you want listed by placing a 2 in the box and select “update”.

3) Continue with this method until all accounts have a determined order.

Account groups
The account groups function will allow you to create smaller groupings of accounts within the company
structure. This would be used to create a more manageable listing of accounts within the drop down
listings. For example, you may wish to group accounts that have frequent transfers back and forth, or you
may wish to group all products within the member number (accounts can belong to more than one
account group).
The following functions are available:
Set Active Group: Select which group displays in the viewing drop down boxes.
Add Group: Create a new group and which accounts are included in that new group.
Delete Group: Allows a previously named group to be deleted.
Add To Group: Add a new account to a group that already exists.
Delete From Group: Delete an account from a previously created group.
List Groups: Provides a listing of all groups that have been created

Commercial Net Banking User Guide | 39


Note: If an active group has been set, only those accounts included in that group will show in the drop-
down box. Should you wish to work with other accessible accounts, the User will need to set the group
they want to use as the active group. Select “none” to have all accounts in the company structure display.

Auditing a user
The audit function allows you to view activity performed by an individual User, or by all Users, depending
on the permissions granted to the User.
To access the audit function, select “audit” from the menu bar on the left of the screen. Fill in the required
fields:
User ID: Select the User you want to audit from the drop down menu.
From: Enter date from which to start the transaction list.
