Online Banking FAQs
The Online Banking Home Page helps you do your everyday money management tasks quickly and easily all in one place. In fact, we’ve brought together the tools needed to perform your most common daily tasks without ever leaving the page. You can easily:
- Check all of your account balances at once
- Take a quick peek at your most recent transactions
- Make a one-time transfer between your accounts
- Make a loan payment within My Accounts
- Schedule a one-time bill payment
So instead of switching between Account Summary, Account History, Bill Pay, Transfer Funds and other pages, you can take action right there on one page to complete several basic functions. We hope you will think of it as your money management control panel.
NOTE: If you do not have any accounts set up in online banking yet, the page will just display the message, “You do not currently have any accounts.”
The Online Banking Home Page contains task-specific areas that are usually found individually on several different pages within Internet Banking: Account Summary, Account History, Bill Pay and Transfer Funds. NOTE: If you do not have any accounts set up in online banking yet, the page will just display the message, “You do not currently have any accounts.”
My Accounts
This is where you can see all of your accounts and balances in a glance without having to scroll. In the upper-right portion of My Accounts you will find the Make a transfer icon and link that enables you to make a one-time funds transfer between your accounts and much more. To view the most recent activity for any account, click the Quick Peek link. Clicking Quick Peek opens a new window that shows the most recent transactions or payment activity for the account along with links to Make a Transfer and Go to account history.
Make a transfer
Just select the Make a transfer button to make a one-time transfer between your accounts. You may also be able to transfer funds to make a loan payment, if that option is available. If there are any restrictions on the number of transfers allowed per month or any transfer fees applied, it will be indicated in a message displayed below the To or From field (or both).
Selecting the Make a transfer button opens the Move Money window above the My Accounts list. Just enter the amount, select the transfer To and From accounts, then click the Transfer button and confirm the transfer details and you’re done. Transactions now post quickly when you complete a transfer. This means that we will automatically refresh the page (to get the new account balances) when you close the transfers success window.
NOTE: If you are making a loan payment, additional fields may be available to enter the required information. If available, additional transfer options may be found within the main Internet Banking pages.
Make a Payment
If you are already using Bill Pay in Internet Banking, you can schedule a one-time payment here. First select a payee from the drop-down field, then select the payment date using the calendar tool and enter the amount. Then click the Schedule payment button to schedule the payment. Schedule payments that haven’t yet been paid are also displayed here.
If you are not yet a Bill Pay user, the Make a Payment section will display a message about paying bills online. Just click the Go to payments link below the message to go to the Bill Pay enrollment page.
You can use your standard menu and submenu selections to navigate around Internet Banking like you do now. However, each section of the Online Banking Home Page has a link that will take you to other pages within Internet Banking that may help you do things that are not currently available on the new page.
- In the My Accounts section you will find a Quick Peek link to the right of each account name. Clicking the link opens a new window listing the most recent transactions. At the bottom of the window you will find a Go to account history link, which, when selected opens the New Account History Page for that account.

The My Accounts section in the upper left area has all of your accounts categorized by type (Deposit, Savings, Loans, etc.) with the current balance and available balance for each account.

Your first Deposit account is displayed at the top of the list and shows the balance and available balance. The Total Accounts value is displayed at the bottom of each account section.

High transaction volume accounts (like Checking) will show 5 days of account activity. Low volume accounts (like loans) will show 30 days of account activity. You will also find helpful links to Make a Transfer and Go to account history at the bottom of the window.
Just click the X button on the top right or anywhere outside of the window to close it. Clicking the account name or the Go to account history link opens the Account History Page for that account.

Clicking the Pay now link will open the Move money window so you can complete the payment.

Your account categories have been set up to automatically display in a certain order: Checking, Savings, Money Market, Certificate of Deposit or Certificate Account, Mortgage Loans, etc. However, if you happen to have multiple accounts within a given category (e.g., two or more savings accounts), you can change the display order of those accounts.
The account names or nicknames within a category appear in alphabetical order, so you can change the account nicknames so the accounts display in the order you want, e.g., My Savings Account will display before Advantage Savings Acct because of the added ™.
