Online & Mobile Banking 101 – The Basics for Beginners (or Pros)
What is Online & Mobile Banking?
Online and Mobile Banking lets you securely log in to manage your accounts through a computer or mobile device. You can perform tasks such as view or manage your accounts, check account balances, transfer funds, pay bills, deposit checks with your mobile device’s camera, open new accounts, manage budgets, check your account balances and so much more. Mobile Banking apps and bank websites allow customers to stay connected to their finances anywhere there is secure internet.
If you have questions that you need a human to answer, you can reach out to the Bank’s customer service representatives via phone or secure message as well, all through your Online Banking account.
Is Online & Mobile Banking Safe?
Banking sites and apps take numerous steps to keep your money and information safe and secure. Bank websites will encrypt your data to prevent third parties from accessing it and to keep it safe. Mobile Banking apps, like NBSB’s Mobile Banking app, offer two-factor authentication, which requires you to login with your password, as well as answer security questions. On some smartphones mobile banking can be protected with biometric measures, like fingerprints or face recognition, giving you even quicker access to your account information in a completely secure way.
Overall, Online and Mobile Banking can be a very safe option to access your finances anywhere and anytime you need.
