Q. What are the restrictions on the type of mobile devices that can be used to access accounts?

A. Our mobile web solution is phone device agnostic. It works with any web-enabled mobile phone device whose network allows secure SSL traffic.

Q. What functions can I perform from my mobile device?

A. Mobile web banking allows you to:

• View transactions
• View account balances
• Transfer funds between accounts
• Pay bills
• View alerts
• Find locations and ATMs
• Deposit checks (using the mobile app)

Q. How do I know if my transfer or bill payment was entered successfully?

A. If you have selected to receive text alerts, each time you make a transfer or bill payment, a confirmation SMS Text Message is sent to your mobile device. If you do not receive a confirmation text message, double check to make sure the transaction went through by logging in to online banking.

Q. What if I no longer want to be a mobile web user?

A. Log in to Online Banking > Select Settings > Mobile Settings > Deselect Activate Mobile Banking Access > Click Agree.

Q. What happens if I lose my mobile device?

A. Even though account information is not stored on your device, it’s wise to suspend mobile banking access to your accounts. Log in to Online Banking from any computer, navigate to the Settings > Mobile Settings page and uncheck the web access option. Or, call us at 866.902.5662 for assistance.

When you replace your device, simply update your Mobile Settings again and make any changes to the wireless provider and/or phone number information necessary.

Q. Why can’t I add a new payee?

A. Functionality is limited to sending payments to already established payees. To add a new payee, log in to the online banking site, select Bill Payment, and add a new payee. You can then submit payments to that payee via your mobile device.

Q. What happens if I lose communication/signal during a transaction?

A. When you complete a transaction from your mobile device (bill payment, funds transfer, etc.) you will receive an SMS Text Message as confirmation that the transaction was successful. If you do not receive this message due to a dropped call or lost signal, check your accounts and re-submit any transactions that did not process.

Q. What do I need to do if I get a new phone?

A. If you simply get a new phone, but are using the same phone number and provider, no changes on your part are necessary. If you switch providers and/or phone numbers, log in to your online bank account via the Internet and update your information on the Settings > Mobile Settings page. You will not receive SMS Text Messages regarding Mobile Banking transactions if your phone number is not correct.

Q. How can I search for a transaction?

A. You will only be able to view 15 days’ worth of transaction history on your mobile device. There is not a search feature.

Q. Can I use any mobile device to access my accounts?

A. Yes. You can access your accounts via any mobile device that is web-enabled and allows secure SSL traffic. The only difference is that SMS text messages will be sent to the phone number entered when enrolling for mobile banking, not necessarily the device from which you perform a transaction.

Q. Can I add a new Bill Payment Payee via mobile banking?

A. No. You can only add payments to payees already established through your traditional internet-based Online Banking ID.

Q. How do I delete a Bill Payment that I set up through my mobile device?

A. You must log in to the internet-based Online Banking ID and delete the payment from the main menu of the Bill Pay section.

Q. When I try to enter an amount for a bill payment or transfer, I can’t enter any numbers, only letters. Why?

A. Check your phone’s settings to make sure you don’t have Alpha-only enabled on the keypad.

Q. What if I can’t get my mobile device to work with online banking?

A. There are a number of reasons that you may experience trouble accessing the mobile version of internet banking on your phone. To use the mobile version, your phone needs to meet the following minimum requirements:

• Your mobile device must be web-enabled.
• Your mobile network must allow secure SSL traffic. (You may need to contact your mobile provider to determine this.)

Q. How do I access the mobile deposit feature?

A. Download the latest version of the Bank Midwest Mobile app and enroll, if not already (see Mobile Banking enrollment Option 1 above). When you open the app, you’ll see a new tab labeled, Deposits, or iOS users may find access to the Deposits feature under the section called More.

Q. Can I use this mobile feature to deposit checks into more than one account?

A. Yes. Multiple checking or savings accounts can be set up in online banking so you can make mobile deposits.

Q. How many deposits can I make with my mobile device?

A. There is a default limit set up to allow up to 5 checks per day for a total of $2,000 in mobile deposits and a rolling 14 day limit of 10 checks and $5,000. If you feel these limits would prevent you from using this service, please contact Bank Midwest Customer Support 888.902.5662 to discuss alternative solutions.

Q. How should I endorse my checks?

A. Endorse your check “For Deposit Only” and then sign your name.

Q. After I make the mobile deposit, what do I do with the endorsed check?

A. Please hold the endorsed check for 10 days before disposing of it to ensure the photos capture the proper check data accurately.  Be sure to shred or incinerate this check when disposing of it.

Q. When will deposits appear in my account?

A. Mobile deposits will follow the same funds availability policy as in-person deposits. Mobile transactions will show in your online account transactions after three processing time periods scheduled mid-morning, early afternoon and early evening.
