How CentralNET Can Help Protect Your Accounts
What You Can Do To Protect Yourself
Central Bank uses a layered approach to protect your privacy and security when using online banking. When you establish your User ID and Password only you have access to that information. If you forget your password, please use the password reset link on the log-in box or contact us to assist with resetting your password.
Please do not share your password. If other account signers need access to your business accounts they can enroll by completing the CentralNET Small Business Authorization Agreement and request their own User ID that will be unique to them. If there are non-account signers that need access to your accounts you will need to complete the CentralNET Business Authorization Agreement and begin using the CentralNET Business service where you can create additional sub users with specific levels of access.
Please do not allow your computer browser to save your user ID or password.
Keep your internet browser and anti-virus software up-to-date. That will help protect your online activity and your private information that is stored on your computer.
Use Online Notifications to Stay Informed About Your Account
Alerts received via e-mail and/or SMS text messages allow you to keep up-to-date when your accounts undergo certain conditions, such as if a credit over a specified amount is posted to your account or if the balance on your account has fallen below a certain amount. After you have logged onto CentralNET, select Settings, Security and Alerts, and then Alerts. The following shows the steps you may take to set up an alert.
Choose the event for which you would like to receive notification.
Choose the account for which you like the alert to be for.
You may need to choose an amount to dictate the qualification for the notification.
Select to receive an email and/or mobile alert. You will be asked to supply the email address at this time.
Select Review, and then Save Alert.
Alerts can provide valuable information about the status of your accounts. If you ever receive an alert that is inconsistent with your account records, please contact Client Services immediately or at the start of the next business day at 859-253-6359 or 800-637-6884.
Use eStatements to Receive Your Information
One of the many benefits of online banking is accessing your account detail whenever you need it. With eStatements, you can generate, display, and print account information when you want it. After you have logged on, select an account, than select Online Statements. You will need to accept terms and conditions and verify which accounts you would like to enroll in eStatements. Keep in mind enrolling an account in eStatements will stop paper statements from coming for that account and you will only be able to view the last 18 months of statements online. The system displays a PDF version of your statement, which you can immediately download and/or print. eStatements also provide the additional security of the Bank’s network because they can only be sent to you upon your request, inside CentralNET’s operating system
You can also choose to Go Paperless which will terminate paper statements, providing enhanced security and helping protect the environment.
