Deposits held in all Saskatchewan credit unions are fully guaranteed through the Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation (CUDGC) . There is no limit to the size of deposit covered by the guarantee. Whether $100 or $1,000,000, all deposits are fully guaranteed. The Corporation's system of deposit protection ensures that even the largest deposits are safe. This is achieved through a combination of:
- Preventive approaches
- Strong levels of credit union capital
- Independent, in-system regulators who work closely with credit unions to ensure we operate soundly and prudently
In the history of the CUDGC:
- No one has ever lost funds deposited in a Saskatchewan credit union
- No Saskatchewan credit union has ever had to rely on the government for financial assistance or bailouts
That is a history Crossroads Credit Union is very proud to be a part of. For more information please visit the CUDGC website.

Introduction
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of any eligible Credit Union debit card (“Card”) when you add or keep your Card in a mobile wallet (“Wallet”) for use on any eligible device (“Device”) that supports the use of the Wallet.
Please read these Terms carefully. If you add or activate your Card for use in a Wallet, it means that you accept and agree to these Terms. In these Terms, "you" and "your" means each Credit Union member who has been issued a Credit Union Card. "We", "us", and "our" mean Credit Union.
Other Documents and Agreements
These Terms are in addition to, and supplement, all other agreements between Credit Union and Member regarding Credit Union’s products and services. If there is any conflict or inconsistency between these Terms and the other agreements, then these Terms will take priority and govern with respect to the Wallet service.
You understand that your use of the Wallet will also be subject to agreements or terms of use with the relevant Wallet Provider (“Wallet Provider”) and other third parties (such as your wireless carrier and the websites and services of other third parties integrated with the Wallet).
Use of Cards in the Wallet
If you want to add a Card to a Wallet, you must follow the procedures adopted by the Wallet provider, any instructions provided by us, and any further procedures the Wallet provider or we adopt. You understand that we may not add a Card to a Wallet if we cannot verify the Card, if your account is not in good standing, if we suspect that there may be fraud associated with your Card or for any other reason we determine at our sole discretion. The Wallet allows you to make purchases using your Card wherever that Wallet is accepted. Wallets may not be accepted at all places where your Card is accepted.
Removal, Blocking, or Suspension of Card
We may not permit the addition of a Card to a Wallet, or we may remove, suspend or cancel your access to a Wallet at any time, if we cannot verify the Card, if we suspect that there may be fraud associated with the use of the Card, if your account is not in good standing, if applicable laws change, or for any other reason we determine at our sole discretion.
You may suspend, delete or reactivate a Card from a Wallet by following the Wallet Provider’s procedures for suspension, deletion or reactivation. In certain circumstances, your Card may be suspended or removed from the Wallet by the Wallet Provider.
Maximum Dollar Limit
Payment networks, merchants or we may establish transaction limits from time to time in their or our discretion. As a result, you may be unable to use a Wallet to complete a transaction that exceeds these limits.
Applicable Fees
We do not charge you any fees for adding a Card to the Wallet. Please consult your Card agreement for any applicable fees or other charges associated with your Card.Your mobile service carrier or provider, Wallet Provider or other third parties may charge you service fees in connection with your use of your Device or the Wallet.

You must contact us immediately if your Card is lost or stolen, if your Device is lost or stolen, or if your Card account is compromised. If you get a new Device, you must delete all your Card and other personal information from your prior Device.
You are required to contact us immediately if there are errors or if you suspect fraud with your Card. We will resolve any potential error or fraudulent purchase in accordance with the applicable account agreement.
You agree to protect and keep confidential your Wallet Provider ID and passwords. If you share these credentials with others, they may be able to access a Wallet and make purchases with your Card or obtain your personal information.
Before using a Wallet, you should ensure that only your credentials are registered on your Device as these will then be considered authorized to make transactions related to your Card. If the credentials of another person are used to unlock your Device or make transactions, these transactions will be deemed to be authorized by you.
You are prohibited from using a Wallet on a Device that you know or have reason to believe has had its security or integrity compromised (e.g. where the Device has been "rooted" or had its security mechanisms bypassed).
The Wallet Provider is responsible for the security of information provided to them or stored in the Wallet.
Liability for Loss
You are solely responsible for all account transactions made using your Card processed through a Wallet. You are responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the account information you enter into the Wallet.

The Wallet Provider may aggregate your information or make it anonymous for the purposes set out in its privacy policy or terms of use. To help protect you and us from error and criminal activities, we and The Wallet Provider may share information reasonably required for such purposes as fraud detection and prevention (for example, informing the Wallet Provider if you notify us of a lost or stolen Device).

These communications will relate to your use of your Card(s) in the Wallet. You agree to update your contact information when it changes by contacting us.

It is generally easier to check the facts and resolve a problem where it originated. This may mean a quick phone call or visit to your local Crossroads branch. Before contacting us, you can speed things up by collecting all the relevant information in advance such as:
• Your account number
• The date(s) of occurrence

Once you have this information on hand, please email feedback@crossroadscu.ca, call or visit your local branch and we will be happy to work with you to resolve the issue.
If the employee you approach cannot help resolve your issues, ask to speak with the manager, senior officer or the credit union’s internal ombudsman, they will have the authority to solve most problems right away. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can begin working on a solution.
