Troubleshooting Common Portal Issues
If you encounter issues while trying to log in to save your calculations or apply for a product, here are the standard solutions:
- MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) Delays: If your secure NetCode SMS is delayed during an application, ensure your mobile network is stable. Wait a full 60 seconds and click Resend Code once.
- Browser Errors: Stale cache data can cause the calculator scripts to freeze or display outdated default rates. Clear your browser history or open an Incognito Window to force a fresh session.
- Locked ID: Entering your secure password incorrectly three times will lock your Personal Access Number (PAN). You must use the Forgotten Password prompt or call customer support to regain access to your banking portal.
Pro-Tip: To make the home buying application process significantly faster, run the Borrowing Power Calculator first. Once you have established a realistic budget, save or print the results as a PDF. Having this baseline data ready when you log in to your Online Banking portal will expedite the formal pre-approval phase.
