- Question:
-
Can I customize the name of my accounts online?
- Answer:
-
Yes. Our e-Banking service is designed so that users can edit information online for their own reference. Adding custom words such as "Summer Vacation" next to an account number enables users to locate specific accounts more quickly.
Note: Please include the last five digits of your account number in your modification.
Any modification made online only appears when
accessing information through e-Banking and does not impact the Bank's actual
records.

- Question:
- How safe and secure are my e-Banking transactions?
- Answer:
-
We use 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption for all communications within e-Banking. This is currently the highest level of security available for Internet transactions.
You can help safeguard your information and the
e-Banking system by protecting your Sign-On ID and password. A proper
combination of your Sign-On ID and password is the only way to gain access to
your account information online. Please be careful to keep this information
secure.

- Question:
-
Can anyone else see my account information?
- Answer:
-
Your online account information is available through access methods which have been rigorously tested for security accessibility. Account information can only be accessed using the correct Sign-On ID and password combination.
For your protection, e-Banking blocks access to your account after three failed Sign-On attempts. To regain access, please contact the Bank.
If you leave e-Banking idle for a period of time without using the Sign-Off option, the system automatically terminates your session for additional security.

- Question:
-
Will my payments and transfers be processed if
e-Banking goes down?
- Answer:
-
If e-Banking and all of Community Bank's back up
systems were to go down, you can be comfortable that any transaction which you
had already processed prior to the system going down, will be processed. If
you were in the middle of a transaction and there is some question as to
whether the system received your request, please contact the Bank to ensure
your transaction request has been accepted.

- Question:
-
How can I prove payments and transfers were
processed?
- Answer:
-
Payments and transfers appear on your Register screen. If the last column of the register is marked with an "X", the payment or transfer has posted against your account.
Your monthly statement from the payee should also
indicate the date and amount of payment.

- Question:
-
Does e-Banking work with Quicken, Microsoft Money, or
any other accounting software?
- Answer:
-
Yes. Community Bank's e-Banking was designed to be compatible with Quicken, Microsoft Money and many other software programs.
Export capability can be accessed from any e-Banking page by clicking either the "Download to Quicken" or "Microsoft Money" icon or at the lower left area of your screen.
Other accounting, spreadsheet or database software that supports standard comma seperated data can also be used by downloading your account data from the File Export option within the Reports screen.

Community Bank for detailed information about this feature and any known
software conflict issues.
