Internet Self Service FAQs

General Questions

What is Mobile Banking?

Mobile Banking allows anyone with an online banking account to access their account information from a mobile
phone. Mobile Banking offers three ways to access your accounts:

  • Send a text message.
  • Use a mobile browser on your phone.
  • Download an application to your phone.

You can choose any or all of these options, depending on the capabilities of your mobile phone.

Text Messaging Service

You can use the text messaging service to:

  • Check your account balances.
  • Review recent account activity.
  • Find ATM and branch locations.
REQUIREMENTS

To use the text messaging service, your phone must send and receive text messages. Most mobile phones are
capable of sending and receiving text messages, so your phone is most likely compatible with Mobile Banking.
Please note that some mobile service carriers charge for outgoing text messages or for each message sent and
received. Some mobile carriers also block short codes from text messages so will want to check that if any issues
arise.

Mobile Browser Service

You can use the mobile browser service to:

  • Check your account balances.
  • Review recent account activity.
  • Transfer money between accounts.
  • Pay bills.
  • Find ATM and branch locations.
REQUIREMENTS

To use the mobile browser service, your phone must have an Internet browser and may require a data services
plan. You access the Mobile Banking website from a link that we send you during registration.

Downloadable Application

You can download the Mobile Banking application to your phone. The application offers all the features of the
mobile browser service.

REQUIREMENTS

To download the Mobile Banking application, your phone must have an operating system that supports application
downloads and may require a data services plan. You download the Mobile Banking application from a link that we
send you during registration or by finding the application in the AppStore.

Is Mobile Banking secure?

To ensure the safety and privacy of your account information, we provide some key security features in Mobile
Banking:

  • Unique Activation Code — We send you a unique activation code to verify your phone number. This code
    associates your mobile phone with your account. This verification also lets you know your mobile phone
    number has been successfully registered in our system.
  • Authentication — You are authenticated for every interaction with Mobile Banking.
  • Encryption — We use 128-bit encryption for all transactions.
  • Auditability — We provide full audit capabilities through event logs and event-based reporting.
  • No Identifiable Information — We don’t return any personally identifiable information in a text message,
    such as your full account number, e-mail address, or personal address. We never ask for or include your
    user ID or password in any message we send.

Is my personal or financial information stored on my phone?

No. We don’t save any files with your personal or financial information on your phone. That information stays
strictly within online banking.

For some phones, such as a BlackBerry, we have logo and branding files that we copy to your phone. Those files
do not contain any personally identifiable information.

Are there fees to use Mobile Banking?

We don’t charge fees to access or use Mobile Banking. You should contact your mobile service carrier for
information about fees associated with sending or receiving text messages or accessing the Internet from your
mobile phone.

Which accounts can I access in Mobile Banking?

You can access any account you’ve set up in online banking. When you register for Mobile Banking, you can
choose which accounts you want to access.

How current is the account and transaction information?

When you view your account balance, you see the current available balance. When you view transaction history,
you see the most recently posted transactions. We don’t show any pending transactions. Mobiliti has a real time
connection with Online Banking.

Can I add more than one mobile phone?

Yes. You can register several mobile phones for Mobile Banking.

To add a new phone, go to online banking and access the Mobile Banking pages. On the My Phones page, select
Add New Phone.

What if my phone number changes?

If your mobile phone number changes, go to online banking and access the Mobile Banking pages. On the My
Phones page, find the old phone number and select the option Change my phone number.

What if my phone is lost or stolen?

If your mobile phone is lost or stolen, no one can access your account without knowing your password, and, in
some cases, your unique user name. To prevent unauthorized access to your account, you can deactivate your
phone in Mobile Banking. Go to online banking and access the Mobile Banking pages. On the My Phones page,
find the phone number and select the option Stop using this phone for Mobile Banking.

Which phones can I use for Mobile Banking?

We support hundreds of models for these major brands: iPhone, BlackBerry, HTC, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Pantech,
Samsung, Sanyo, and Sony Ericsson. We support phones on a number of different operating systems, including
(but not limited to) Android, Blackberry, iOS, Symbian, Windows Mobile, Linux, Palm webOS, and Maemo.

Which mobile service carriers support Mobile Banking?

Mobile Banking works on all major mobile service carriers in the U.S.: AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile®, U.S. Cellular®, and
Verizon Wireless. Mobile Banking also works on a number of the smaller service carriers, including (but not limited
to) Boost Mobile, Cricket Wireless, Metro PCS, Pioneer Cellular, Union Wireless, and Virgin Mobile USA.

I have a prepaid plan. Can I use Mobile Banking?

Mobile Banking works with most prepaid plans, but we cannot guarantee that your carrier supports standard U.S.
short codes. T-Mobile prepaid does not support short codes so you won't be able to use the SMS text message
service of Mobile Banking with T-Mobile prepaid.

How do I stop using Mobile Banking on my phone?

To stop using Mobile Banking on your phone, go to online banking and access the Mobile Banking pages. On the
My Phones page, find the phone number and select the option Stop using this phone for Mobile Banking.

Registration Questions

How do I get started with Mobile Banking?

You can register for Mobile Banking through your online banking service. Be sure to turn on your mobile phone and make
sure it’s ready to receive text messages. When you register for Mobile Banking, you can choose which:

  • Services you want to use.
  • Accounts you want to access.

During registration, we send you a text message with a unique activation code to verify your phone number. This
code associates your mobile phone with your account. To complete registration, enter the activation code that we
send you. This verification lets you know your mobile phone number has been successfully registered in our
system.

Do I have to agree to the Terms and Conditions to use Mobile Banking?

Yes, you must read and accept our terms and conditions. If you have any questions about the points of our terms
and conditions, call <Customer Support>.

Can I register multiple users to the same phone?

For security reasons, only one user can register per phone. However, once you complete the registration process,
you can add more phones to your account.

I received my activation code but never used it—what do I do now?

Your activation code expires 24 hours after we send it to you. However, you can always request a new activation
code. Go to online banking and access the Mobile Banking pages. On the My Phones page, find the phone
number and select the option Get new activation code. We’ll send you a text message with a new activation
code.

I haven’t received the activation code on my mobile phone. What should I do?

Check the mobile phone number you entered during registration. If it is correct, here are some other options for
resolving the issue:

  • Verify that your mobile phone is on and able to receive text messages. Check with your mobile service
    carrier if you’re not sure you can receive text messages.
  • Contact your mobile service carrier and make sure your phone can send and receive messages to and
    from a standard U.S. short code.
  • Request a new activation code. Go to online banking and access the Mobile Banking pages. On the My
    Phones page, find the phone number and select the option Get new activation code. We’ll send you a

Text Messaging Service Questions

What do I need to use the text messaging service?

To use Mobile Banking’s text messaging service, you must:

  • Have an online banking account.

  • Register for Mobile Banking and select the text messaging service.

Why are my Mobile Banking text messages coming from <31727>?

You receive all Mobile Banking text messages from <31727>. To make it easier to recognize our text messages,
add us to your contact list with the short code <31727>.

What is a short code?

A short code is a shortened version of a phone number. A short code is generally five or six numbers in length.
Five-digit short codes range from 20000 to 99999; six-digit short codes range from 222222 to 899999. You can
send and receive text messages from a standard U.S. short code as well as a traditional phone number.

What do you mean when you say “standard messaging charges may apply?”

Every mobile service carrier has a different rate plan for text messaging and data services access. You may be
charged per use, or pay a flat rate for unlimited usage each month. You may also have different fees for text
messaging and data services access.

Please contact your mobile carrier directly if you aren’t sure what fees you will be charged to use Mobile Banking.

Where do I send my text messages?

Send all text messages to <31727>.

What are the text messaging keywords and how do I use them?

Keywords are the text messages you send to request account information or ATM and branch locations.

Account Balance Requests

Keywords: B, BAL, BALANCE, BALANCES

than one financial institution, enter the financial institution’s identifier before the keyword. For example: ABCU BAL.

Transaction History Requests

Keywords: STMT, TRAN, HIST (account nickname)

Check the most recently posted transactions of the account you specify with the account nickname. For example,
TRAN S1. If you’ve registered accounts from more than one financial institution, enter the financial institution’s
identifier before the keyword. For example: ABCU HIST C1.

Keywords: NEXT, MORE

If your transaction history response message ends with "Reply NEXT or MORE," text NEXT or MORE to view more
transactions.

ATM and Branch Location Requests

Keywords: ATM, BRANCH, BOTH (address)

Find ATMs, branch locations, or both near an address that you specify. You can enter:

What should I do if I don’t get a response to a request?

Make sure you’re sending text messages to <31727>. Check the keyword and any additional information required
for the request, such as the financial institution’s identifier, account nickname, or address.

Can I send a keyword via e-mail?

No, keywords and text messages are not supported using e-mail. The two-way feature of our text messages works
only with mobile phones.

Why are my results sent as multiple messages?

Text messages are limited to 160 characters. Sometimes we can't send all your account information in one
message because it exceeds the character limit. In this case, we send your account information in multiple
messages — no more than five at a time.

I received my results in multiple messages. Some arrived quickly, but others didn’t. Why did it take so much longer for the others to arrive?

If you receive one message, it means we've sent all the response messages to you, and you should receive them
shortly. It may take a few minutes to receive them all, depending on your mobile service. If you haven't received all
your messages after a few minutes, please let us know. If the problem persists, you may want to contact your
mobile service carrier.

I have text messaging enabled on my mobile phone. Why can’t I receive Mobile Banking text messages?

Your mobile service carrier may be blocking short codes, or you may have blocked short codes in your phone
options. You must have short codes enabled to use Mobile Banking. (Short codes are abbreviated phone numbers,
usually five digits; we use to send Mobile Banking messages.) Check your phone options and then contact your
mobile service carrier to ensure they aren't blocking short codes.
