What can Text Banking do?

Two-Way Banking

Text Banking allows you to have on-demand access to your balance, transfers, and account history without the use of a user ID or password. By using simple text commands, you can perform several functions while on the go. Send your command to 63680 to perform the tasks. 

*Balance Inquiries may not be available between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. due to overnight processing.

Alerts

Text banking gives you greater control of your account through the use of Alerts, which are scheduled based on specific criteria you provide. Some examples of how this can be used are below.


Examples of Alerts:

  • Daily Balance Alerts – “I’d like to receive my available balance every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9 am.” 
  • Monthly Balance Alerts – “I’d like to know my available balance at 5 PM on the 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of every month.” 
  • Balance Threshold Alerts – “I’d like to know when my available balance is below $100 or when it is above $1,000” or “I’d like to know when my available balance is below $50.” 
  • Fee Alerts – “I’d like to know when account XXXX is assessed a bank fee.” 
  • Transaction Alerts – There are a lot of transaction types. Some examples might be receiving an alert for any transaction over $200, for Debit Card Transactions over $50, or for any ACH or Wire transaction over $1.00. That’s pretty cool.
