Log In Screen
Above is a screen shot of the Online Banking log in screen. Notice across the top there is a disclaimer stating
we have added additional layers of security to the login process. The processes will validate you as an
authorized user and afford peace of mind that you are at the right website and logging safely and securely into
your accounts. Also notice that there is a disclaimer at the bottom of the log in window; "Always check your
browser for the 'lock' symbol that indicates that you are connected to us using an encrypted connection. If you
ever doubt the authenticity of this site, double-click the lock symbol in your browser and verify the validity of the
associated certificate." This is one more way customers can be sure that they are logging into a secure site.
2.1
Existing Users
On the Log In Screen, existing users can type their Username into the box and click submit. Once submit is
clicked, you are taken to a screen that asks for confirmation of the verification phrase. Seen below is the
phrase you created when setting up your account. If it is unrecognized, do not log in; contact your financial
institution immediately. Displayed below that statement is a box showing the customer created phrase. If the
phrase is correct, enter the password and click submit. In the event that a customer has forgotten their
password, there is a hyperlink available for password retrieval.
Once an existing user has successfully logged in, their Account Summary screen will display.
If you are logging into Online Banking for the first time from a new or different computer, you will be prompted
to select whether or not you would like to have the machine remembered. If it is a computer you own, it is okay
to select 'remember this machine' since it is not shared by unknown persons. If it is a computer you use at work
or where others have access, for the protection of your confidential and sensitive information, it is highly
recommended that you do not remember the machine.
5
2.1.1 Log In Sequences
On the Log In Screen, existing users can type their log in Username right into the box and click submit. Once
submit is clicked, you are taken to a screen that asks for confirmation of the verification phrase seen below is
the phrase you created when setting up your account. If it is unrecognized, do not log in and contact your
financial institution immediately! Displayed below that statement is a box showing the customer created phrase.
If the phrase is correct, enter the password and click submit. In the event that a customer has forgotten their
password, there is a hyperlink available for password retrieval.
Once an existing user has successfully logged in, their Account Summary screen will display and in the
upper right corner you will a Welcome Customer Name greeting.
2.1.1.1 Forget this Machine
If you have selected to have your computer remembered at a prior log in and wish to change so that it will no
longer be remembered, log in to Online Banking and click Profile. Once you click Profile, your user profile will
display. Click the link that says Remember/Forget Workstation. A new screen will appear asking you to
choose one of the following: 1) Remember this machine. Don't make me answer extra questions to log in on
this machine. (Only 'Remember this machine' on a computer owned by you, and not on any publicly
accessible computer.) or 2) Don't remember this machine. Ask me security questions each time I log on.
Select option 2, then click submit. Upon your next log in, you will be prompted to answer security questions
before access to Online Banking is granted.
2.1.1.2 Remember this Machine
Remembering a machine is exactly like forgetting a machine. Existing users can log into Online Banking and
click Profile. Once the user profile is displayed, click Remember/Forget Workstation. A new screen will appear
asking you to choose one of the following: 1) Remember this machine. Don't make me answer extra questions
to log in on this machine. (Only 'Remember this machine' on a computer owned by you, and not on any publicly
accessible computer.) or 2) Don't remember this machine. Ask me security questions each time I log on. Select
the option 1, then click submit. Upon your next log in, you will go directly to the screen where you can see your
verification phrase and enter your password. If you do not recognize your verification phrase, do not enter your
password; contact your financial institution immediately.
2.1.2 Forgot Your Password
Should you ever forget your password for Online Banking, go to the log in screen and enter your username,
then click submit. Your verification phrase for your user id will display along with a box to enter your password.
Below the box there is a 'forgot your password' link. Clicking 'forgot your password' will bring up a Reset
Password screen. At the top, there is a disclaimer that tells us; "A new password will be generated and sent to
the registered email recipient for the user entered previously. If you have any questions or are reluctant to do
this, please contact your financial institution's customer service at (XXX)-(XXX-XXXX). Note: Your financial
institution's customer service number will appear.
6
Once required information has been entered, click Submit. A new password will be generated and sent to the
email address for the Username entered on the log in screen. When you receive the email, log in using the
password provided. You will be prompted to change your password.
2.2
New Users
Anyone who is a new user to Online Banking must register. When you click Register, an Online Banking
Agreement will display. It is recommended that you read the agreement before enrollment as it includes all
required disclosures regarding Online Banking, prerequisites for enrollment as well as hardware and software
equipment requirements and tips on internet security. If you accept the terms of the Online Banking Agreement,
click Accept. If you do not agree with the terms of the Online Banking Agreement, click Decline. If you click
"cancel" you can still enroll at a later time by completing an application in one of our offices. You will again be
asked to accept the terms and conditions of the Online Banking Agreement.
7
To be eligible for Online Banking access, you must first have an existing bank account maintained in good
standing. Online Banking will validate your identity and account(s) once you complete the Verify Identity
screen.
Once you have entered the required information, the following screen will display saying, "Congratulations, we
were able to locate your customer record." It then asks you to select a username and password. Your
username should be a minimum of 5 characters. Note the highlighted instructions for creating a password.
A password must contain at least 5 characters and must meet one of the following requirements:
 Mixed Case (at least 1 upper and 1 lower case)
ex: Stars
 Alpha Numeric (at least 1 letter and 1 number)
ex: 2stars
 Special Character (at least 1 character that isn’t a number or letter)
ex: &stars
After you have selected a username and password that meets the criteria, click submit. If you have registered
successfully, you will be logged into Online Banking and should see your accounts displayed. If you have not
registered successfully, you will receive an error message. Follow the instructions to correct the error and click
submit. If you are unable to correct the error, contact your financial institution.

Accounts
When you first log into Online Banking, an account summary will display listing all of the accounts you have
access to at the financial institution. The default screen will welcome you by your account name as seen in the
upper right hand corner. Just below the welcome you have options for Log Off, Profile and Help. Lower on the
right you see the control bar featuring messages, alerts, quick links and log in information. In the main section
on the left side of the screen, you will see listed all accounts to which you have access. Each account is listed
separately and shows the account type (checking, loan, etc.) and balance.
Below is an example of the Account Summary default screen that appears when you log into online banking:
In this manual, we will explore each menu tab. Some of the menus will display a submenu which we will also
cover in greater detail.

3.1
Summary
The Account Summary screen is for informational purposes. It gives a big picture snapshot of all accounts to
which you have access at the financial institution.
If you need additional information on a specific account, you can access the account by simply clicking the
account number hyperlink. Clicking the hyperlink for the selected account will bring up the View Transactions
screen with several options to customize your view.
10
3.2
Details
Clicking 'Details' will bring up a view that looks like the one below. It provides a short overview of the basic
account details including ledger and available balances, accrued interest, how much interest has been paid
YTD, interest paid last year, current interest rate and the amount of the last deposit made to this account.
Listed below are definitions that will help make this screen clearer. For example, you see a ledger balance and
an available balance. The available balance is much greater than the ledger balance. If you take a look at the
definition for ledger balance, you see that this is the ending balance after all debits and credits have been
posted for the previous business day. With the available balance being higher, you can suspect that a
transaction is pending; a deposit, transfer or wire transfer may have come in and is available for use. There is
no reason to be alarmed if the two amounts differ. The available balance will include any pending debits and/or
credits.

3.3
Transactions
Online Banking allows users to look at an overview of all accounts or a specific account. When looking at a
specific account, you have the option to view transactions. How you choose to view transactions is up to you,
the user. If you look at the screen shot below, you will see that you have several options to choose from.
At the top of the screen you will see a brief overview of the account including balance and interest information.
You then have a series of options to choose from regarding how you would like to view your transactions. They
may be displayed by a certain business day, a date range, for example the month of June, 2005; or a particular
statement. Sorting by description will list all transactions of a similar type together, for example all ATM
withdrawals will all be listed together. Clicking Check # will have all checks that have cleared display in
numerical order. Selecting deposit will group all deposits together which makes it easy to see if all deposits
have posted. Sorting by withdrawal will list all withdrawals made for a selected day, date range or statement in
order by ascending amount regardless of when it posted.
When sorting by column header, the running balance will not display
12
3.4
Search
Online Banking makes searching for a single transaction or series of transactions easy. If you have ever written
a check and forgotten to record the check number or amount, Online Banking can help. If you aren't sure what
the amount of a transactions was, Online Banking can help with that too.
You have the option to search a day or date range, a minimum or maximum amount, a minimum or maximum
check number, transaction description (ex: debit card) or payee, and item type debit and/or credit. All fields are
optional, therefore, it is not necessary to fill every field. Doing so may actually hinder your search. Begin with
what is known and broaden your search if necessary. Please keep in mind that you will only be able to view
posted transactions. Pending transactions (ex: debit card used today) or future transactions (ex: direct deposit
due to post next week) cannot be searched.
13
3.5
Download
If you have been reluctant to use Online Banking because you would have to change everything, rest easy.
Online Banking offers several formats for downloading that make for a seamless transition. Online Banking
offers downloads to MS Money, Quicken, QuickBooks, Quicken (pre-2005 QIF), MS Money (pre-1999 QIF) and
Comma Delimited (CSV). If you already use one of these programs, you can download from Online Banking
right to your program of choice. Download assistance is available for Quicken and QuickBooks.
14
3.6

Under the Statements tab in Online Banking, you can view an entire statement. The dates for which statements
are available in Online Banking will automatically be displayed on the Statements screen.
15

cleared during the statement cycle

Transfers
This chapter will show how to transfer money between Online Banking Accounts. For example, Online Banking
users can transfer money from an online checking account to an online savings account, or vice versa. The
transfer tab also allows you to view future and past transfers, create a new transfer or pay a loan.
4.1
Today's Transfers
Under the Today's Transfers tab, you will be able to view any transfers that are scheduled to happen on

time will display at the top of the transfer screen.
4.2
Future Transfers
Future transfers can be set up in advance to transfer on a future date. They can be recurring transfers or a one

12345678 for $500 monthly and the next transfer will occur on 5/15/2011.
Online Banking puts you, the user, in control of any and all transfers. Once a transfer is set up, you have the
option to edit it at any time. Just click the Edit link under the Action header and you will be able to make
changes to a transfer. Below you will see an example of an edit transfer screen. Please notice that all but two
fields are required. Your transfer will be made according to the information you provide:
Which account would you like the funds to come out of?
To which account is the money going?
18
How much would you like to transfer?
It is not necessary to list a description for the transfer unless it helps you to remember why the transfer is
happening.

continue indefinitely if you like. It can be edited at any time. When this transfer will take place in the coming
months is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Click Submit to save your changes and schedule your transfer. Any changes that have been made to a transfer
are recorded and can be viewed by clicking the View Change History button.

until the next business day. The time will be pre-established by your financial institution and appear on your

allowance. You may be saving for your wedding, a new car, home or baby. Those are just a few reasons you
might set up an automatic transfer.

institution can set up a transfer to make a loan payment. Under the Pay a Loan tab, a fill in the blank style

each profile link and how to view, change or update current information.
8.1
Change Password
Change Password allows you to change your password an any time simply by clicking on Profile then clicking
Change Password. Changing your password periodically is a good idea especially if you use a shared
computer. A best practice for changing your password is to have one in mind before you change it. That way, it
is much easier to remember than making one up on the spur of the moment. Online Banking passwords require
certain criteria for log in. Examples of these criteria are listed below:
Your password must contain at least 5 characters and it must meet one of the following requirements:
8.2

Mixed case (at least 1 upper and 1 lower case) ex: Stars

Alpha Numeric (at least 1 letter and 1 number) ex: 2stars

Special Character (at least 1 character that isn't a number or letter) ex: &stars
Update Security Phrase
A Verification Phrase or Passphrase is put in place as an added measure of security to make sure you are
at the correct site for Online Banking and will be logging into your accounts securely. A passphrase is
selected by you, the user, at registration.
When you log into Online Banking, on the first screen, you will enter your user ID and click Submit. On the
second screen is where you will see your passphrase. If for any reason you don't recognize the passphrase,
DO NOT ENTER YOUR PASSWORD! Contact your financial institution immediately for assistance.
It is always a good idea to change your passphrase periodically to ensure a secure log in. Changing your
passphrase can be done at any time by clicking Profile, then clicking Update Security Phrase.
Delete your current passphrase from the box, enter a new one and click Submit.
28
8.3
Update Security Questions
Security Questions are a way of identifying a user upon log in to make sure your accounts stay secure. If you
use a shared workstation and have selected Forget Workstation or if you are logging in from a new computer
for the first time, you will be prompted at log in to provide the answers to your pre-selected security questions.
To provide maximum protection for your online accounts from unauthorized use, it is best to choose questions
that only you or another authorized user will know the answers to. Your answers will not be case-sensitive.
Five questions must be selected or composed and answered. Once you have selected or composed your 5
questions and entered your answers, click Submit to save your questions and answers. Questions and/or
answers can be changed or updated at any time by clicking on Profile and then clicking Update Security
Questions. Change or customize any question and click Submit to save changes.
29
Preselected options from the drop down box include questions that you, the user, can easily recall the answers
to. Below, you can see the questions you may choose from:
Remember, it isn't required that you choose from these questions. You may elect to make up your own and can
do so by typing your question into the text box then typing your answer into the answer box. A custom question,
for example might be, "In what city did you honeymoon?" or "What street did you grow up on?" and "What was
the name of your first pet?"
Your answers are not case-sensitive. That means no matter how you type your answer into the box, as long as
it is correct, it will be accepted. For example:
You select the challenge question: "What is the make and model of your first car?" You type your answer as
Chevy Nova using correct capitalization. When logging in and prompted to provide an answer to this question,
you can type chevy nova with no capitalization and it will be considered a correct answer.
30
8.4
Update Profile
Update Profile is a place where account and user information can be changed or updated. The account
name can be changed or updated and the email address associated with the account can also be changed.
For any significant account changes, you will need to contact your financial institution.
Below is an example of the Update Profile screen:
8.5
Update Preferences
Update User Preferences allows you, the user, to customize your Online Banking view. Simply check the boxes
to choose your options then click Submit to save your preferences. You may update or change your
preferences at any time by clicking Profile, then click Update Preferences. Enter any changes you'd like to
make and click Submit when you're done to save your preferences. Listed below are User Preference options

that are visited often. Quick Links can be accessed via the User Profile or from the Control Bar.

If Yahoo is a site you visit regularly and want to add it to your Quick Links, access Quick Links from your
profile or the Control Bar. Once your links page displays, click Add New Quick Link.
In the Link Name box, type a short name for your quick link; (i.e. Yahoo). In the Link URL box, you can copy
and paste the link directly from the website or type in the web address for the page you want to add. Click
Submit to save your link. You should receive a message stating: "You have successfully added a new Quick
Link to your Online Banking profile".
When you click a Quick Link, you will receive a message that you are about to open a third-party site in a new
window. You have the option to continue to the site or cancel. Online Banking will time out after an extended
period of inactivity but it is always recommended that you remember to log off.

Remember/Forget Workstation
Online Banking offers a number of security options from which a user can choose. One of those options
is to remember or forget a workstation.
Remembering a workstation means that when logging in, you will enter your user name and be taken
immediately to the screen to verify your security passphrase and enter your password. Once you have
entered your password and clicked Submit, you will access Online Banking. If you log into Online Banking
from a computer you own, it is perfectly okay to select 'Remember this machine'.
If you use a shared workstation, or access the internet at a library or internet cafe, basically anywhere that you
don't have sole control of the computer, you will want to select 'Forget this machine'. Selecting 'forget this
machine' will prompt you to answer 3 of your 5 previously selected challenge questions to verify your identity
before you are able to view your passphrase and enter your password.
The screen below is an example of what you will see when you log into a workstation for the very first time:
