Canada Post updates
Rotating strikes at Canada Post
The union representing Canada Post workers has announced they are now entering a rotating strike model, meaning certain regions or routes may experience service interruptions at different times. This means that backlogged deliveries will begin to dispatch but may continue to be delayed.
During a mail disruption or service delay, you are expected to continue paying bills on time. Be sure you don’t miss any deadlines. In the event of a disruption or service delay now and in the future, you can easily pay bills by visiting one of our branches, calling our Member Service Centre or through online and mobile banking. If you receive any cheques by mail – including government cheques – you can set up direct deposit for convenience and to avoid any delays.
Please be aware of the following during a Canada Post service disruption
- Paper monthly/quarterly statements and anything sent through the mail – including debit cards and credits cards from FirstOntario – could be delayed.
- Visa statements sent by mail could also experience delays.
- Members who enroll in online banking can view account history and electronic statements anytime. eStatements are secure, easy to access and you don’t have to wait for mail. Register today.
- Through online banking, you can also complete many transactions including paying bills and depositing cheques using our mobile app on your smartphone. Download the app.
