Q: Is there a difference between the online and mobile banking services?

A: The new online and mobile apps are driven by the same software and are designed to provide a seamless experience and the same functionality no matter what device you use. If you are using a mobile device, you’ll have the best experience if you use the dedicated apps available from the Google Play store for Android phones or the Apple Store iPhones.

If you receive a notice that you will be logged out due to inactivity, you can either choose to cancel the log out procedure and continue with your session, select the log out option, or do nothing in which case the system will log you out automatically at the end of the 10-minute inactivity period.
