Getting Started
CAN I ADD ANOTHER METHOD TO RECEIVE A SECURE ACCESS CODE?
Yes, once you have successfully logged into the online banking system, you can update your preferred contacts via the Settings > Security Preferences menu.
THE SYSTEM HAS WARNED ME THAT ONE MORE UNSUCCESSFUL LOGIN WILL LOCK MY ACCOUNT. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?
If you have unsuccessfully tried to login and have been warned that one more unsuccessful entry will lock your account, you may choose the Forgot Your Password process. That process will enable you to reset your password to something you can remember without the risk of locking your account. If you choose to try to login one more time and fail, you will be required to contact us to unlock your account.
I HAVE BEEN LOCKED OUT OF THE SYSTEM DUE TO ENTERING THE WRONG PASSWORD TOO MANY TIMES. HOW DO I UNLOCK MY ACCOUNT?
If you have locked your account due to several unsuccessful login attempts, for your security, you are required to contact us at 888.375.3093 to unlock your account.
DO I NEED TO REGISTER MY COMPUTER FOR LATER USE?
Each time you login to the system via a new device or browser, you will be required to provide the Secure Access Code sent via your chosen method. If you choose to register your computer, you may not be asked to obtain a Secure Access Code at each login. If you decide not to register the computer, you will be asked to go through the Secure Access Code process each time you login on this computer. You should NOT register a public computer or a computer that others might use outside of your control.
I REGISTERED MY COMPUTER DURING A PREVIOUS LOGIN, BUT THE SYSTEM IS ASKING ME TO REGISTER IT AGAIN. WHY?
There are several reasons this may happen, including:
• Your browser settings are set to delete cookies, or your browser cookie for online banking has been removed since the last time you logged in.
• Your online profile is set to require a secure access code delivery each time you login.
• You are logging in via a different browser on the same registered computer. Each browser (i.e., Chrome/Internet Explorer/Firefox/Safari) must be individually registered.
• We have reset all active registrations on the system for security purposes.
CAN I CHANGE MY LOGIN ID?
Yes, once you have successfully logged into the online banking system, you can update your preferred contacts via the Settings > Security Preferences menu. Under this menu, you can change your login ID, password, or set up additional Security Access Code methods.
IS THERE AN ONLINE RESOURCE FOR HELP?
Yes, there will be a “help” button available for you under the menu.
DOES MY ACCESS ACCOUNT HAVE ANY RESTRICTIONS IN ONLINE BANKING?
