Frequently Asked Questions
Is this upgrade for Personal, Business, and Commercial online and mobile banking?
No. At this time we are only upgrading our personal/business online and mobile banking. If you use our commercial online banking, it will still work the same as it does today.
What happens to my bill payments?
Payment history and payees will be transferred over to your upgraded online banking. Any payments that were scheduled prior to March 7, 2025, will still take place as scheduled.
Do I need to set up the recurring transfers between my First Bank accounts again?
No. If you have recurring transfers between your own First Bank accounts you will not need to set them again.
If I set up the transfer prior to March 7, 2025, what happens?
Any transfers already scheduled to take place leading up to the upgrade will take place unless you contact us to delete the old transfer early.
What if my transfer is from my First Bank deposit account to pay my First Bank loan?
Transfers to make loan payments will still take place and will not be removed. During the upgrade, you will not see it in online banking but the payments will still take place on the date you have previously scheduled.
