    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use the app without a data connection?

    Limited functionality is available offline - you can view recent account balances and transactions. However, you need an internet connection for transfers, payments, and investment features.

    How secure is biometric login?

    Biometric authentication is highly secure. Your fingerprint or face data is stored locally on your device and never transmitted to Tangerine's servers.

    Can I set up multiple savings goals?

    Yes, you can create multiple savings goals simultaneously. Each can have different target amounts, deadlines, and automatic saving schedules.

    What investment funds are available?

    Tangerine offers balanced portfolios, equity funds, bond funds, and index funds. All funds can be purchased and managed directly through the mobile app.

    Is there a limit on mobile deposits?

    Daily mobile deposit limits vary by account type and history. New customers typically start with lower limits that increase over time based on account activity.

    How do I get help within the app?

    Use the "Help" section in the app menu for FAQs, or use the secure message center to contact customer service directly through the app.
