How can you guarantee the security of my banking information?

We have extremely high criteria to guarantee the security of your banking information online. A few of these are listed below:

  • Your banking information never travels the Internet without encryption protection
  • Log-in sessions have a time-out limit and after the limit is reached you are required to log-in again
  • PIN guessing is deterred and reported
  • Multi-factor authentication provides an additional layer of security

Internet security is not a once-and-for-all task. We are constantly developing and implementing security enhancements to ensure the integrity of our Online Banking system.

Yes. Bill payment services are limited to locations in the United States, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam and US Military in the Americas, US and Pacific.

Can I use Bill Payment if I live outside the U.S.?

Yes, however, payments can only be made to locations in the United States.

Your account will be debited on the day the payment is scheduled if the payment is sent electronically. If the payment is made by check, the funds will be debited when the check clears your account, just like any check you would write. To ensure adequate funds are available in your account, it is a good practice to have the funds in your account on the scheduled payment date.

No. The memo field is for your personal records; however, the account number that you entered when you added the payee to your Personal Payee List is printed on the check.
