Online Banking
{beginAccordion}
How much does 24/7 Online Banking cost?
It's free.
What kind of browser do I need?
You'll need a browser that supports 128-bit encryption, which includes most browsers. We recommend Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher.
How do I get my Internet Banking ID and PIN?
Upon receipt of your Internet Banking application, Farmers Bank will send you a welcome letter that provides your ID and PIN. You will also receive an Internet Banking agreement and disclosure statement with your letter. Your first use of Farmers Bank's Online Banking will signify as your agreement to those terms.
Can I view my accounts online?
Yes.
Can I share my online ID and PIN?
That's a bad idea. For security reasons, we recommend you keep your ID and PIN a secret. And, please, don't jot down those numbers on a piece of paper and put it somewhere easily found at home, or anywhere at work.
What happens if I forget my ID and PIN?
After three unsuccessful logins, you will be locked out of Online Banking. At that point, your password will automatically be changed. Please call the bank and we'll assist you.
What happens if I forget to log out from Online Banking?
Your Online Banking session will expire in a few minutes if you quit using it. We do, however, recommend you intentionally log out.
Can I view my account history with Online Banking?
Yes, you can view three months of history.
Is there another automated way to access my accounts?
Yes. We invite you to use our 24/7 In-Touch telephone banking. Please see our list of branch locations to get the phone number for your community.
What kind of payments can I make with Online Banking?
You can send an electronic payment if the recipient is set up to accept them. Otherwise, a check will be mailed to the recipient.
How do I know which companies accept electronic payments?
When you set up the recipients for your payments, you will be prompted to type in the company name and the state where your payment is going. Then, a list of companies that accept electronic checks will be displayed and you can choose the appropriate recipient(s). If the recipient is not in that list, you can designate that the check should be mailed instead.
When do online payments clear my account?
Electronic payments made before noon are posted the same day, and those made after noon are posted the next day. Payments made by check are subtracted from your account when the check clears the bank. Please allow seven to 10 business days for a check to clear the bank.
Can I stop payment on a check paid with Online Banking?
Yes. Find the online payment by check number, then stop it. Stop-payment fees will apply.

Mobile Banking
{beginAccordion}
What are the restrictions on the type of mobile devices that can be used to access accounts?
The Farmers Bank mobile solution is phone neutral. It works with any web-enabled mobile phone device whose network allows secure SSL traffic.
What functions can I perform from my mobile device?
You can view transaction history, view account balances, transfer funds between accounts, pay bills and view alerts.
How do I know if my transfer or bill payment was entered successfully?
Each time you make a transfer or bill payment, a confirmation text message will be sent to your mobile device. If you do not receive a confirmation text message, double check to make sure the transaction went through.
What if I no longer want to be a mobile user?
Log in to our online banking website. Select Options and then Mobile Settings. Deselect the Activate Mobile Banking Access. Click on the Submit button.
What happens if I lose my mobile device?
Since your account data is not stored on your mobile device, your information cannot be stolen. When you replace your device, simply edit your Mobile Settings and make any changes to the wireless provider and/or phone number.
Why can't I add a new payee?
Functionality is limited to sending payments to already established payees. To add a new payee, log in to the online banking site, select Bill Payment, and add a new payee. You can then submit payments to that payee via your mobile device.
What happens if I lose communication/signal during a transaction?
When you complete a transaction from your mobile device (bill payment, funds transfer, etc.) you will receive a text message as confirmation that the transaction was successful. If you do not receive this message due to a dropped call or lost signal, check your accounts and re-submit any transactions that did not process.
What do I need to do if I get a new phone?
If you get a new phone but are using the same phone number and provider, no changes on your part are necessary. If you switch providers and/or phone numbers, log in to your NetTeller account via the Internet and update your information on the Options > Mobile Settings page. You will not receive text messages regarding mobile banking transactions if your phone number is not correct.
How can I search for a transaction?
You will only be able to view 15 days worth of transaction history on your mobile device. There is not a search feature.
Can I use any mobile device to access my accounts?
Yes. You can access your accounts via any mobile device that is web-enabled and allows secure SSL traffic. The only difference is that text messages will be sent to the device entered when enrolling for mobile banking, not any device from which you perform a transaction.
Can I add a new Bill Payment Payee via mobile banking?
No. You can only add payments to payees already established through your traditional Internet-based NetTeller ID.
How do I delete a Bill Payment that I set up through my mobile device?
You must log in to the Internet-based NetTeller ID and delete the payment from the main menu of the Bill Pay module.
When I try to enter an amount for a bill payment or transfer, I can't enter any numbers, only letters. Why?
Check your phone's settings to make sure you don't have Alpha-only enabled on the keypad.
