Frequently Asked Questions

To sign up for online banking, select Click Here to Register and sign up online. Complete the short enrollment form and select “Submit.” Business customers can also register for online banking or request Online Cash Management from their Business Relationship Manager.

How do I sign up?

PERSONAL online banking, select Personal Login and Click “New User? Enroll Now”. Complete the short enrollment form and select “Submit.” You will need your account number, social security number and email address to set up online banking. The PIN number is the last 4 digits of your social security number OR your telephone banking pin, if you have already set one up. Your user name and password are created on the next screen. The user name should not consist of only numbers, and the password requirements will show green check marks as you enter the new password. Once you have created your user name and password, you will have immediate access to your account.

BUSINESS customers, who have only one user viewing accounts, may also register for online banking by selecting the Personal Login button and completing the short enrollment form. The last 4 digits of the EIN number is used instead of the SSN. BUSINESS Customers, who wish to use our Business Online Cash Management (ACH Origination/ Internet Wires) or have multiple users, may contact their Business Relationship Manager or their local branch or Deposit Services.

How do I get my User name and Password?

You will create your USER NAME and Password during the enrollment process. If you would like to change your Password after logging in, you can click on the “Profile” tab at the top right of your online banking home page.

I do not remember my Password.

Please select the “Forgot your password” link and a new temporary password will be sent to your email address on file. Please enter this temporary password in the box that asks for your password, next to your User Name and it will then direct you to a new screen to change your password. Please remember that your password must contain at least 1 Number, 1 Upper Case Letter, 1 Lower Case Letter and 1 Special Character and must be between eight (8) and twelve (12) characters in length.

A password reset request will be initiated every 6 months and you are notified at the time of signing on that it is time to change your password.

I am locked out, how do I get back in?

The online banking system will automatically lock the user access after two invalid attempts. If it has been more than 90 days since you have logged in, your profile is suspended and you will need to re-enroll in Online Banking. If you are unable to log in, contact us at (800) 433-8283.

Why I am repeatedly locked out?

It is important to remember that your USERNAME is case-sensitive. If you set it up in upper case, you must always enter it in upper case. If you set it up in lower case, you must always enter it in lower case. Do not use your account number as your username. Your password must contain at least 1 Number, 1 Upper Case Letter, 1 Lower Case Letter and 1 Special Character and must be between eight (8) and twelve (12) characters in length.

Multifactor Authentication involves 3 security questions that you set up when applying for online banking, such as “Mothers Maiden Name”. The security questions are asked to verify identity at the time of signing on. If you miss the answers to a security question twice, you will be locked out. If you have not accessed your online banking for more than 90 days, your profile has been deleted from the system and you will have to re-enroll, using the “Enroll” button.

Can I rename my accounts displayed?

You can rename your accounts at any time by selecting “Edit Account” tab to the right of the account number that you want to change.

How do I add an account?
