How secure is online banking?

The Internet Banking System brings together a combination of industry- approved security technologies to deliver a product that keeps your financial information secure. It features password-controlled system entry, a Digital ID, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, and a firewall to regulate the inflow and outflow of server traffic.

Where can I see a demonstration of online banking?

Click on the "Online Demo" button on our home page or click here.

What accounts may I view?

Checking, savings, CD balances and loan balances are accessible through our web site. You must have at least one checking or money market account to access your accounts online.

Can I use this service with Microsoft® Money or Intuit Quicken®?

Yes, data can be transferred into Quicken or Money. This will save you time by eliminating the manual entry step. As an added feature, we offer Bill Pay service.

When do I need to schedule my bill payments?

Bill Payments should be scheduled to allow 5 business days prior to the due date of your bill. All bills submitted after 3:00 PM (PST) will be posted on the next business day. Electronic bills will be processed within 3 business days of posting. Some companies you pay through online banking are not set up for electronic payment and therefore receive a paper draft on your behalf. These paper draft payments take 5-8 business days to reach their payees.
