During the first login after the upgrade, you will be presented with a current Online Banking Agreement. This must be read and acknowledged before proceeding to the new online banking home screen.
If you have online banking access, but do not have a social security number, separate instructions with initial login instructions will be provided to you through your email address on file with us. This email will have a link that is specific to each user and should not be forwarded or shared.
I own or have access to a business account through online banking, how will the changes to online banking apply to me?
All online banking changes will apply to business account owners, or individuals with access to a business account online. If you currently have a separate login for your personal accounts and your business accounts, you will now be able to log in with one sign-on and be able to see all accounts that you hold with us. The new system will allow all users with both personal and business accounts to toggle easily between business and personal accounts directly from the home screen.
Note: If your business is enrolled in our cash management online banking system there will be no change to the system you use to access online banking.
