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.

Mobile Deposit Tips

  • For a better image, place the check on a dark background. 
  • Mark the check indicating that it has been submitted to Mobile Deposit.  
  • Hold the check until you verify that it’s successfully deposited in your accounts transaction history. Then, destroy and dispose of the check.

When will my deposit appear in my account?

Deposits submitted through the mobile app are processed twice a day each business day (excluding Federal holidays). 

  • 10 a.m. — Deposits captured in the morning file post to accounts by Noon 
  • 5 p.m. — Deposits gathered in the afternoon file post at the end of day processing that same evening.

Can I be notified when my deposit is processed? 

Yes, set up an email alert in the mobile app by selecting Alerts in the side menu.

  • Click Security Alerts.
  • Scroll to the alert: Alert me when a mobile deposit of $0.00 or more has been completed. Enter a dollar amount. If you enter $1.00 it will notify you of all your successful deposits via email.
  • Click Save Changes at the bottom of the screen.
