FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How can I change my security PIN with Alexa?
You can change your security PIN by disabling and re-enabling the DuGood Federal Credit Union skill.
Will all of my accounts be linked?
The DuGood Federal Credit Union skill allows up to six (6) accounts and/or loans to be linked to the skill. You must pick at least one account or loan to link. During setup, the skill will show you a drop down of all of your linkable accounts and loans to choose from. At this time, credit cards cannot be linked to the DuGood Federal Credit Union skill.
Is my security PIN for the DuGood Federal Credit Union Alexa skill the same as my PIN for my debit or ATM card?
No, you will choose the PIN yourself. For security purposes, we recommend making your DuGood Federal Credit Union skill security PIN different than any other PIN you use, because Alexa will be saying your information out loud.
To Change the PIN for a linked account, you will need to disable the skill and re-enable it and go through the setup process again.
Can I unlink one of my accounts or change which accounts are linked?
Yes, any time you want to change which accounts are linked to the DuGood Federal Credit Union skill or unlink an individual account, you will need to disable the skill and re-enable it and go through the setup process again.
I’ve completed the set-up – why can’t Alexa access my account?
Make sure you have completed all of the steps during enrollment. If your enrollment process lasts longer than 5 minutes the system will time out and indicate your skill was not successfully enabled. After you enable the skill, you also need to link your DuGood Federal Credit Union accounts and/or loans to Alexa. Open the Alexa app on your phone, find the DuGood Federal Credit Union skill, and tap “Link Account.” Follow the instructions from there. You’ll know you’re done when you see a screen that says, “Your DuGood Federal Credit Union skill was successfully linked.”
