Logging in for the first time

When you use a secure access code (SAC), we send a one-time code to an email address, text message number, or phone number that is on file for you.

Passcode

You can set up a Passcode that can be used on a mobile device in lieu of a login ID and password.

Before enabling this feature on a mobile device, you must first log in to your mobile banking app and follow any multi-factor authentication (MFA) process we require, such as providing a SAC. After successfully logging in and registering the device, you can enable the four-digit passcode feature on the Login or Security Preferences pages.

Note: Only one registered user per mobile device can enable this feature. If another user already enabled the feature, the related option on the Security Preferences page will appear dimmed.

 

 

Logging in after the first time

When you log in, enter your login ID and password. If you use a browser or a device that is not registered, you must also enter a SAC, depending on how your login ID is configured.

 

To log in after the first time

  1. On the Login page, enter your Login ID.
  2. (Optional) Select the Remember me check box to save your login ID for the next time that you log in.
  3. Enter your Password.
  4. Click or tap Sign In. When the connection is complete, the Home page appears.
