Secure messages

Messages overview

Messages provide a secure way to communicate with your FI and are not used to communicate with any outside party. These messages appear in both online and mobile banking in the Messages item in the navigation menu.

Note: Conversations may appear as Messages, depending on your financial institution's configuration. Messages combine a message and all its replies into a thread.

In online banking, you can attach a file to a message. The available file formats are configured by your financial institution and will vary. The number of unread messages appears on the Messages item in the navigation menu.

After you have read the messages in a conversation thread, you can delete the thread and all messages in it. You can delete a single thread, multiple threads, or all threads. Conversation threads stay in the Inbox until you delete them or they expire.
