To help you save time, we encourage you to take advantage of our self-service tools.

If you’ve logged into LA Financial’s Online or Mobile Banking at least once since January 1, 2024, your profile has automatically transferred to CU SoCal—no need to register again. Simply click the login button and use the same username and password you’ve been using. If you last accessed LA Financial’s Online or Mobile Banking prior to January 1, 2024, you’ll need to register as a new user. Please do not use the “Register for Online Banking” option unless this applies to you.

• Try the “Forgot Username” prompt if you are unsure of your current username.
• Try the “Forgot Password” prompt if you are unsure of your current password.

If you typically log in and are used to seeing all your accounts under one profile, you’ll need to create multiple logins for each account. CU SoCal presents your digital banking profile based on your account, not your social security number.

If for some reason you made changes to your payroll after May 16, those requests will be implemented after June 1.
