Nickname Your Accounts:
If you haven’t nicknamed your accounts yet, your account probably shows up looking generic, like "REGULAR SHARE-01". If you have multiple savings accounts or car loans, or are connected to other member accounts (like your kids) this can quickly get confusing, plus it’s just kind of boring to look at. So have some fun with your accounts and give them a nickname! Here’s how:
Step 1: Go to “Settings”
Step 2: Click on “Accounts”
Step 3: Click on the account you want to nickname
Step 4: Name the account something meaningful to you, like “My Super Awesome Savings”
Step 5: Click “Save”
Giving your accounts a nickname is a quick and easy way to personalize your Online Banking experience. Plus, you can change the name at any time!
Hide Accounts:
If you have several accounts, you may not want to see all of them every time you login to Online Banking. To keep your “Accounts” view clean and organized so you can see your most important accounts you can “hide” and “unhide” accounts in real-time by follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Go to “Settings”
Step 2: Click on “Accounts”
Step 3: Click on the account you want to hide (or unhide)
Step 4: Check (or uncheck) the box next to “Hide Account”
Step 5: Click “Save”
Keep in mind, when you choose to hide an account, it will no longer show up on the Accounts screen or in the list of accounts you can transfer to or from. If at any time you do need to make a transfer or want to see a hidden account again, simply repeat the steps listed above.
Account Alerts:
Setting up account alerts is a great way to personalize your Online Banking experience, while also keeping you on top of your finances! Accounts alerts can be set up to notify you of a variety of account activities such as account balances or transactions that fall above or below the limits you set. For example, if you tend to overdraw your account it may be helpful to add an account alert to notify you when you only have $50 left in your checking account. Setting up account alerts is simple, here’s how:
Step 1: Go to “Settings”
Step 2: Click on “Security and Alerts”
Step 3: Click on “Alerts”
Step 4: Complete the fields and click “Review”
Step 5: Review the details of the Alert and click “Save Alert”
Bonus Tip: Account alerts can be sent to you via email or your mobile phone!
