Q:   What if I can’t get my mobile device to work with Internet Banking?

A:  There are a number of reasons you may experience trouble accessing eMobile Banking. To use eMobile Banking, you will need to meet the following minimum requirements: 

  1. You must enroll through Internet Banking using a home or office computer.
  2. Your mobile device must be web enabled.
  3. Your mobile network must allow secure SSL traffic. (You may need to validate this with your mobile provider.)

If your phone meets these requirements and you continue experiencing problems, eMoblie banking may not be compatible with your mobile device’s browser. A possible solution would be to download another browser such as Opera Mini (www.operamini.com). Opera Mini provides good support to a number of mobile applications.

A:  We highly recommend eMobile customers turn off the auto-complete T9 setting for security reasons. If the T9 setting is turned on, it will store the Internet Banking ID on the mobile device. 


Q:   What if I no longer want to be an eMobile user?

A:  Log in to Internet Banking from your home or office computer > Select Options > Mobile Settings >Deselect Activate Mobile Banking Access > Click Submit.
