Step 2:
Click the "Notifications" button at the top right of your online banking home screen.
Step 3:
Click "Settings" when the notification modal appears.

Enter your cell phone number that you will use for text alerts in the "Text message alerts are sent to" field...
Click "Activate".
Step 5:
The Mobile Verification Agreement window will appear... In this window, enter the code that you received on your cell phone via text message. (Click "send again" if you did not receive a code).
Once you have entered the code, click "Accept" to acknowledge your acceptance of the agreement.
Congrats! You've successfully set up text message banking and alerts.
Any alerts that you have set up (i.e. Low balance or Large withdrawal) can be sent to you via text if the text icon is checked for the alert. This also applies for email alerts. Check the box for email or text message alerts for each individual alert and the type of communication you wish to receive.
2. To set up text message banking:
If you have already opted-in to text message alerts then you are ready to set up your text message banking. Skip to step 7.
If you have not yet opted-in to text message alerts, but you would like to set up text message banking....
Step 1:
Log in to the online banking website.
Step 2:
Click the "Notifications" button at the top right of your online banking home screen.
Step 3:
Click "Settings" when the notification modal appears.
Step 4:
Click "Start text banking now" in the top right hand model of your notifications screen.
Step 5:
Enter your cell phone number that you will use for text message banking in the "Text message alerts are sent to" field...
Click "Activate".
Step 6:
The Mobile Verification Agreement window will appear... In this window, enter the code that you received on your cell phone via text message. (Click "send again" if you did not receive a code).
Once you have entered the code, click "Accept" to acknowledge your acceptance of the agreement.
If you wish to enter another phone number that can access text message banking for your accounts, enter the additional number by clicking "Add a second number" and accepting the Mobile Verification Agreement again for the new number.
Step 7:
In the "Text Message Banking" modal, review "The account I use most is" selection and update the account, if needed, from the dropdown. (It will likely default to your checking account.)
The account entered in "The account I use most is" field is the account you will receive balance updates for if you send the general "BAL" text command for a balance. It is also the account you will be able to TRANSFER FUNDS TO, if you use the "TRANS" text command to transfer funds.
Step 8:
Now review the "When low, transfer money from" selection and update, if needed, from the dropdown. (It will default to "Don't allow transfers.") The selection made will be the account you wish to be TRANSFERRED FROM, if you use the "TRANS" text command to transfer funds.
Step 9:
Once you have entered your desired selections in "The account I use most is" and "When low, transfer money from" dropdowns, then click "Done".
Step 10:
The success modal will appear. To get started using text message banking, text "BAL" to 454545. Or text "HELP" to get a full list of text message banking commands.
Click "Done" to go back to your notifications settings.
Congrats! You've successfully set up text message banking.
