5 new improvements to the Meridian mobile app in April

April 16, 2023

This month, we’ve made five upgrades in the Meridian mobile app to streamline and enhance your user experience:

First, two-step authentication is now little bit easier to use. At sign-in, note that two-step authentication has been pre-checked to “Don’t ask me again for 60 days,” so that it doesn’t come up every time you sign in. However, if you sign in on an unknown device, you'll be prompted again to perform two-step authentication. Of course you can uncheck this box whenever you wish.
You can now see added detail pertaining to holds and limits when you’re initiating e-transfers, cheque deposits, and bank-to-bank transactions.
You can now easily view scheduled transfers from the Transfer tab menu.
We've added a joint Membership alert that flags whether the Membership is enrolled in online tax document delivery.
Lastly, we've made improvements to the default look and feel of alerts to improve your app engagement experience.
