Where to find the Scheels Visa login page
The Scheels Visa Card is issued by Connexus Credit Union, not by Scheels directly. This matters because you log in through Connexus's website, not through Scheels.com. Go to connexuscu.org and look for the login box labeled "Online Banking" — usually in the upper right corner of the homepage.
You can also reach the login page by going directly to online.connexuscu.org. Either route takes you to the same place. Once there, you'll enter your username and password — the same credentials you set up when you first opened your Connexus account or activated your card online.
Key Takeaways
- Log in at connexuscu.org or online.connexuscu.org, not at Scheels.com, because Connexus Credit Union issues the card.
- You need a username and password that you created when you first set up online access to your account.
- If you've never logged in before, you'll need to register for online banking using your card number and personal information.
- If you forget your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it by email or security questions.
- Once logged in, you can view your balance, recent transactions, pay your bill, and read statements.
Setting up online access for the first time
If you received your Scheels Visa Card but have never logged into your account online, you'll need to register first. On the Connexus login page, look for a link that says "Register" or "New User" — the exact wording changes occasionally, but it's always near the main login box.
Click that link and you'll be asked for your card number, the last four digits of your Social Security number, and your date of birth. Connexus will verify this information against their records. Once verified, you'll create a username and password. Write these down or save them in a password manager — you'll use them every time you log in.
After you create your username and password, you may be asked to set up security questions or to link a phone number for two-factor authentication. This extra step protects your account if someone else learns your password. It takes a few minutes but is worth doing.
What to do if you forget your password
On the Connexus login page, click "Forgot Password" or "Forgot Username" — whichever applies to you. You'll be asked to enter your username or the email address associated with your account.
Connexus will send you a link by email. Click that link within the time window they give you (usually 24 hours) and you'll be taken to a page where you can create a new password. If you don't see the email, check your spam folder. If the link has expired, go back to the "Forgot Password" page and request a new one.
If you can't remember your username either, you can sometimes recover it using your card number and the last four digits of your Social Security number. If that doesn't work, contact Connexus customer service at the number on the back of your card.
Logging in on your phone or tablet
Connexus offers a mobile app called the Connexus Mobile App, available on both iPhone and Android. read it from the App Store or Google Play, then log in with the same username and password you use on the website.
The mobile app shows your balance, recent transactions, and lets you pay your bill from your phone. Some people find it easier to check their account this way than logging into the website on a computer. The app also sends push notifications if you turn them on — you can get alerts when your balance drops below a certain amount or when a large charge posts to your card.
Common login problems and how to fix them
You're locked out after too many wrong password attempts. Connexus temporarily locks your account if you enter an incorrect password several times in a row. Wait 15 to 30 minutes and try again, or use the "Forgot Password" link to reset it when ready.
You're getting an error message about your browser. Connexus's website works best in current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. If you're using an older browser or Internet Explorer, try a different one. You can also try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, then logging in again.
You registered but can't log in. Registration can take a few hours to process. If you just registered, wait a couple of hours and try again. If it's been longer than that, contact Connexus — there may be a mismatch between the information you entered and what's in their system.
You're being asked for a one-time code but didn't receive it. If you set up two-factor authentication, Connexus sends a code to your phone or email each time you log in from a new device. Check your spam folder. If you still don't see it, click "Didn't receive a code?" on the login page and Connexus will offer to send it a different way.
What you can do once you're logged in
After you log in, you'll see your account dashboard. From there, you can view your current balance, see your last 90 days of transactions, and read statements going back further. You can also set up automatic payments so your bill is paid on the same day each month.
Most cardholders use the login to check their balance before making a purchase, to dispute a transaction they don't recognize, or to read a statement for their records. Some people also use it to set spending alerts or to temporarily freeze their card if they think it's been compromised.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Connexus login the same as my Scheels account login?
No. Your Scheels shopping account (for rewards, purchase history, and online orders at Scheels.com) is separate from your Connexus credit union login. The Connexus login is only for managing your Scheels Visa Card and your credit union account.
Can I pay my Scheels Visa bill through the Connexus website?
Yes. Once logged in, look for "Make a Payment" or "Pay My Bill." You can pay from a bank account you link to Connexus, or sometimes by debit card. Payments usually post within one to two business days.
What if I lost my card and need to report it?
You can report a lost or stolen card through the Connexus website after logging in, or call the number on the back of your card. Reporting it online is faster if you're already logged in, but calling works 24/7 if your card is lost and you need when ready help.
Do I need to log in to use my Scheels Visa Card in a store?
No. You can swipe or insert your physical card at any store without logging in. You only need to log in online if you want to check your balance, pay your bill, or manage your account.
Is logging into Connexus safe?
Connexus uses encryption and security measures to protect your login. Never share your username or password with anyone, and always log out when you're done — especially on a shared computer. If you see login activity you don't recognize, contact Connexus when ready.
