Frequently Asked Questions

How do I enroll in TransferNow?

To begin using TransferNow you must first be enrolled in Online Banking and then complete the TransferNow Enrollment Form

Once TransferNow enrollment is active, you will see a new option in the Transfer menu of your Online Banking.

Before a transfer can be made, you will need to verify ownership of the account(s) at your other financial institution(s). Funds can only be transferred between accounts with same ownership.

  • Login to Online Banking
  • Select, "Transfer," then "External Transfer"
  • Next, select "Add a New Account" 

You have two options for account ownership verification: real-time and trial deposits. The real-time verification process is the default as it allows you to proceed promptly with the transfer. However, you will be asked for your log-in credentials at the other financial institution(s) including any challenge questions. If you do not want to use this method, you can select the trial deposit method by following the direction in the Information box.
