Q: How do I download transactions into Quicken®, QuickBooks®, or Money® (versions 2005 and higher)?
A: Online Banking users can download account transactions directly into Intuit Quicken, QuickBooks, and Microsoft Money (versions 2005 and higher) by using the export feature. First, select the account you want to download, then choose "Export" from Transactions menu. Choose the desired statement cycle (e.g. previous statement), then select Intuit Quicken (.QFX), Intuit QuickBooks (.QBO) or Microsoft Money (.OFX) export format and click the Export button. When prompted to download the file, click "Open" to load the transactions directly into your financial management program.

Q: What is the “Message Center” that is now displayed on my Consumer Bill Pay screen?
A: The “Message Center” now displayed in the bill payment system is a secure communication method for contact with our bill pay support staff. Since e-mails are inherently unprotected, this message center now allows you to communicate safely with our support area, allowing you to provide account numbers and other personal information online. Request payment details or submit other secure information to help our bill pay support staff better assist you.

Q: What is the difference between Express Transfer and Scheduled Transfer?
A: Express Transfer is the preferred method for making one-time transfers or payments. With Express Transfer, funds are posted immediately and appear as"Current Business Day" transactions. In order to schedule a future-dated or recurring transfer/payment, Scheduled Transfer must be used.

Q: I scheduled a transfer online from my savings account to my checking account using the Scheduled Transfer method. The savings debit has posted on the date I specified, but the checking account credit is showing under "Current Business Day" transactions - Why?
A: Scheduled Transfers are posted during the evening processing update (unlike Express Transfers, which are posted immediately). The transactions are posted in application and account number order (checking accounts first, then savings accounts; low account number to high account number).  If a Scheduled Transfer is created that posts "out of order" (i.e. savings to checking, checking account # 999112555 to checking account # 8881517511), the credit will appear as a "Current Business Day" transaction on the requested date; the debit will appear on the date specified.

Q: What are the system requirements for Online Banking?

Please note: You may experience problems using this site with Netscape Navigator (Business Online Banking is not compatible with Netscape) or on a Macintosh system.  For optimal viewing, please set your monitor resolution to at least 800 x 600 pixels.

Consumer Bill Pay FAQs

Q: What if I pay a bill and I don’t have enough money in my account to cover it?
A: Our Bill Payment system will process all payments that you request to be paid. These debits will post to your account that evening (or the evening of the update) and can be viewed on the following business day. Payments that result in an overdraft to the account may be returned unpaid and are subject to overdraft fees.
