What if the Online Banking system fails or “crashes”? Will my transfers go through? If I was using Online BillPay, will my bills be paid?

If Online Banking and all of our systems were to fail, any transaction that you received a message saying the transaction or transmission was complete should have gone through. Any payment or transfer you are unsure of can be verified if necessary by calling (800) 950-2296, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
