  10. Why do I have to change my password for online banking so often?

    A – Your financial security is our top priority, so it’s best to change your password more frequently to prevent any issues. While we may require this more than other businesses, our security is constantly updating with you in mind and changing your password every 6 months only helps you in the long run. You can change your password on our website, mobile app or call one of our branches to assist you.

  11. Why is my mobile deposit not showing on my account?

    A – It may depend on your deposit amount. If you are depositing something on mobile that is larger, only $1,000 will be available right away and the remainder of the amount will be deposited the next business day.
    If you get a notification that your deposit has failed, this may be due to filling out the info on the back of the check incorrectly. If this occurs, you can contact your local branch to assist further.

  12. Why can’t you print a debit card in the branch?

    A – Our new debit cards have the contactless pay technology and are metal instead of regular plastic. Due to the material difference, it is required that all customer information (name, card number etc.) is laser engraved onto the card instead of printed like normal debit cards. We allow our expert vendors to laser engrave this information and in turn give you a better product.
