Q. I am having difficulty logging into my EZ Banking account. What do I do?
A. There may be several reasons you are experiencing difficulty logging into your EZ Banking session. If you complete the ID and PIN fields and click submit and your computer does not seem to do anything, the problem may be your browser. We have found that users with Internet Explorer version 6.0 or XP need to complete one of the following two options:

  • At the bottom right hand corner of your screen there should be a little red circle with a minus sign inside. Double click on this icon and a 'Privacy Report' window should appear. On the Privacy Report, highlight the site address in the text area by clicking once on it, then click 'Summary.' When the Privacy Policy window pops up, check the box at the bottom that states 'Always allow this site to use cookies.' Click OK and close out of the privacy report.

  • If this does not seem to clear up the problem, you may want to try this solution. On the top Internet Explorer tool bar, choose 'Tools,' then 'Internet Options.' On the Internet Options window, click on the tab labeled 'Privacy.' On the Privacy window, there will be a section titled Settings, and there will be a slider on the left hand side. Move the slider all the way down, until it says 'Accept All Cookies.' Click OK and close out.

    Q. Why does it say 'Your Account is Currently Locked' when I try to log into EZ Banking?
    A. As a security measure, accounts will lock for several reasons, such as inactivity or the incorrect PIN being entered three times in a row. If your account is locked, please call your local branch, or 800-472-4292 during regular business hours. Upon proper identification, we will be happy to unlock the account and reset the PIN. This is only for the security of our customers. We apologize for any inconvenience.

    Q. How secure is EZ Banking?
    A. State-of-the-art technology is used to keep your information secure. All sensitive and personal information is encrypted, and access requires passwords that only you know. In addition, your account numbers, Social Security numbers, and Tax ID numbers are never displayed on the EZ Banking system. However, if you feel your information has been jeopardized in any way, please contact your local branch immediately.

    Q. Will the memo field be printed on the check sent to the payee?

    Q. Can I postdate single and/or recurring payments?
    A. Yes. Just set the payment date for any date in the future. Single payments are actually set up into two categories: current and future payments, which allow you to schedule payments in the future or for the current date. If a monthly recurring payment is set up to be paid on the 15th and the current date is November 5th, a payment will be scheduled for the month of November and the 15th of every future month until the end date is reached. However, if the payment is set up to be paid on the 15th and the current date is November 16, the first payment will occur on December 15th.
