Welcome to the world of digital banking! This guide addresses common questions about internet banking, also known as e-banking or virtual banking. We’ll cover everything from getting started to staying safe, ensuring you maximize the benefits of our online services.
Getting Started with Online Access
What is online banking and how do I enroll?
Online banking allows you to manage your online account 24/7 from any device with internet access. Enrollment is typically simple – look for the “Enroll Now” or “Sign Up” link on our website. You’ll need your account number and other identifying information.
How do I set up a secure login?
Choose a strong, unique password. Avoid easily guessable information. We strongly recommend enabling two-factor authentication for an extra layer of account security. Security questions are also a vital part of the process.
What if I forget my password?
Use the “Password Reset” link on the login page. You’ll be guided through a verification process, often using your email address or security questions, to create a new password.

How do I make funds transfers?

Is there a mobile banking app?
Yes! Our banking app offers the same functionality as our website, plus the convenience of banking online on the go. Download it from your app store.
Account Security & Fraud Protection
How does the bank protect my account security?
We employ multiple layers of security, including encryption, firewalls, and fraud monitoring systems. We also offer fraud protection measures to help detect and prevent unauthorized activity.
What is phishing and how can I avoid it?
