USERNAME LOGIN FAQs

Q. I tried to log-in with my account number and I was told that my log in information was not valid. Is this correct?

A. Yes. In order to enhance the security of your Online Banking experience, we are introducing and requiring members to choose a Username to access your accounts online. Logging in with your account number will no longer work.

Q. Do I need to change my password after I have created my username?

A. No. You are not required to change your existing password. The system requires that you enter your password to proceed to the next step. You may choose to change your current password at this time but it is not necessary.

Q. How does the Username protect my information online?

A. Using the Username tied to your account number is more secure than merely entering an account number during the log-in process.

Q. What is a Username?

A. The Username is a unique log-in ID that you create. It replaces your account number when logging into Online Banking.

Q. Why must I choose a Username?

A. Choosing a Username will help increase your online security when logging into Online Banking. Additionally, by choosing a Username, you will be able to take advantage of the reset password online feature. All owners on the account will be uniquely identified and can establish their own password and language options.

Q. Can I choose my own special Username?

A. Yes, you may choose any username that is not already in use. It must start with an alphabetic character, must contain only letters and numbers (no special characters are allowed), must be 8-20 characters in length AND it cannot be the same as your access code or account number.

Q. Why are special characters not allowed?

A. Some special characters are set to stop or start programming script and can interfere with the log-in process.

Q. How do I obtain a Username?

A. Starting on July 27th, please click on the “No Username, Click Here” link at the bottom of the log-in prompt. Follow the instructions on the screen. If you need assistance, please call our Member Contact Center at 1-888-673-3288.

The prompts will walk you through registering for both a Username and our Password Reset option.

Q. Can I change my Username once I’ve selected it?

A. Yes. You must be logged into Online Banking. First, click “Change Login Profile”. This option will allow you to change your Username, password, security question, and your Password Reset preference.

Q. Will I still have online access to all the same accounts?

A. Yes. This process only affects how you login, not your Online Banking accounts.

Q. My spouse is also on my account. May we each have a separate Username?

A. Yes. We can help establish a second Username on the joint account. Please call us at 888-673-3288 or leave a secure message within Online Banking.

Q. How do I access accounts for which I am the joint owner and not the primary member?

A. You may set up your own Username and password for accounts for which you are a joint owner. Please contact us at 888-673-3288 to help establish the Username for your joint accounts or have the primary member leave us a secure message within Online Banking.

Q. What if I forget my Username, password or security questions?

A. No need to worry! One of our Financial Service Representatives or your Personal banker can assist you. Please call us 888-673-3288.

Q. I already created security or challenge questions before. Why do I have to do this again?

A. The original set of questions you created are used during the identification and log on process and detect any unusual login activity such as a different computer used than before. The security questions in this process will be used only for the password reset option. By having two sets of questions, you are better protected from someone trying to hijack your account by obtaining a new password.

Q. Can I change my Security Questions?

A. You can change them by logging into your account and clicking on the “Change Login Profile” option. This option will allow you access to change your Username, Password, Security Question, and your Password Reset Preference. If you cannot access the information, please contact our 24 hour Member Contact Center at 1-888-673-3288.

Q. Can I go back and select to have my password reset sent to me by email if I opt out at this time?

A. Yes. You can change your selection at any time on line by clicking on the “Change Login Profile” option once you are logged into Online Banking.
