Common Questions

It’s a 7 or 8 digit security code that we’ll send you through a text message to your mobile phone or through email. If our system detects unusual activity, like logging in from a new device or location, you might be asked to enter a security code when you sign in or when you perform certain actions.

A common reason a security code is not received is because the contact information we have on file is incorrect. Please verify your contact info by logging in to digital banking and clicking on Settings from the menu.

If you have signed up for security codes through email only, the security code may be caught in your junk mail folder. If this is the case, please set us to “not junk” for the future.

If you continue to have issues, please contact our business team.
