You may be charged by your wireless carrier at their standard data rate for the download of the
service.
Additional Information

informed via a text message. To use our service you may need to upgrade to one of the very wide
range of phones and carriers that we support.
If you need to re-request the download of the mobile banking application, then text 'start' to

future connections are completely secure.
After completing the one-time security process your cell phone will connect to the service (this
may take a couple of seconds).
Additional Information
If your cell phone fails to complete the security process successfully then you will need to delete

When you first use the service you will need to select a passcode.
The passcode is your personal number which is used to access the service. You MUST keep this
number secret at all times.
You will need to use the passcode every time you want to use the service.
The passcode should be:
- A number between 5 and 8 digits long.
- Something that is difficult to guess that is not easy for others to identify you with (i.e.
don't use your pet's name or your favorite vacation spot)
- Secret to you.
The passcode cannot:
- Be a series of ascending digits e.g. 12345.
- Be a series of descending digits e.g. 54321.
- Have a single digit make up more than half of the passcode e.g. 88823.
We recommend that you do not use obvious dates, such as your date of birth, as these are easy to
guess.
We use your Debit/ATM or Prepaid card in order to access your account details for banking
services, such as balance inquiries. This is very similar to using your card in a cash machine or
ATM machine.
You will need to add a card in order to use the service.
You will need to enter the requested information from your card and the card holder's address.
This must be the address that is registered for that card. You will also be asked for a nickname
for the card, e.g. Checking Account. This nickname is used to refer to the card within the
service.
When you have entered all the card details you will be asked to confirm them. Once you are sure
that all the details are correct then you can either add another card or continue.
You can add up to 10 cards to the service.
Note: you don't have to enter all your cards now. You can add cards at any time; see
Add a
Card for more details.
Now we will validate all of your details with your financial institution. We will validate all
of the personal information that you have provided to us.
Once we have validated your personal information we will perform a double deposit to your
account where the two amounts become your
Card Activation Number. You should receive these deposits the same day of your
registration.
The
Card Activation Number is a one-time password that is used to activate your cards
for use with our service.
To enter the
Card Activation Number you will need to:
- Start the service.
- Enter your Passcode.
- Select the card (see Step 9).
Additional Information
If you don't receive the double deposit within two business days then you can
request
a new Card Activation Number.
To open the service, you can begin by selecting it from your cell phone application or games
menu.

may take a couple of seconds).

The list of cards that you have added will now be displayed on your cell phone.
All cards need to be 'activated' before they can be used with the service.
Any card that has not been activated will be marked with an asterisk (*).
Select the card that you wish to activate from the list.
Select the 'Activate Card' option and enter the
Card Activation Number which is the two amounts that where deposited to your
account.
You are now able to use the service with these cards.
You can exit from the application by selecting Exit. The application will exit automatically if
unused for more than two minutes.
Additional Information
If you don't receive the double deposit within two days then you can
request
a new Card Activation Number.
For security reasons if you enter the
Card Activation Number incorrectly five times then we will delete all cards
associated with that
Card Activation Number. If this happens then you will need to add the cards again
if you want to use them with the service.
If you added cards from more than one financial institution, you will receive a different
Card Activation Number from each financial institution.
