Set Up Login Shortcuts
Quickly access your account information by enabling one of these options in the mobile app under the Settings menu.
You can enable Touch ID or Auto Login — not both.
1. Touch ID or Auto Login
Touch ID, a fingerprint identity sensor, can easily unlock your iPhone or iPad to allow quick access to your accounts in “View Only” mode. [Learn more about setting up Touch ID on your Apple device.]
Auto Login automatically opens Mobile Banking in “View Only” mode. It’s highly recommended that the mobile device be password protected when turning on this setting.
You can turn on Touch ID or Auto Login (not both).
NOTE: Both Touch ID and Auto Login settings will require a full or PIN login to move money, view statements, change debit card status or update settings.
2. PIN Login
Set up a 4-digit PIN Login which will allow you to fully log in and use all the functionality of Mobile Banking like moving money, viewing statements, etc.
These shortcut options can be enabled in the Settings menu after logging in to the Mobile Banking app. Be sure to Save your changes.
