What you should do:

  • Make sure all information we have for you is correct. Please call us at 270-796-8444 prior to March 4th to verify or update any information you are concerned about.
  • Mark in your smart phone calendar or desk paper calendar these upgrade dates. Most of the conversion will occur Thursday evening March 4th-Monday morning March 8th, and remember, mobile and internet banking will be unavailable during most of this time period.
  • Make sure you have secondary payment methods available to you as you are out and about. Although we do not expect major disruptions in service, just in case it will be a good idea to have other methods of payment on hand. Cash, checks, or another credit card can take the place of your debit or ATM Card.
  • Account histories and e-statements should be downloaded prior to the conversion. Beginning at 4:00 p.m. on March 4th transaction history and E-statement history will not be available. These will be available at a later date after conversion. Downloading your statement history, if you have not done so, may be beneficial to you and your businesses.
  • On March 8th or later, double check and re-verify your recurring automatic transfers and bill payments in online banking. You may consider making a list of all of these items prior to the conversion to use as a verification guide.

Specific Details-Bank Products and Services

  • Deposit Accounts-both personal and business
    • All deposit accounts will receive a paper statement dated March 4th. Any
      transactions after the March 4th statement will be reflected on the next
      monthly statement.
    • If you receive e-statements this service will continue. No action is necessary
      and you will continue to receive statements electronically after March 8th.

Bank Statements

  • Your bank statement may look different to you, but the information contained within the statement will remain the same. At a later date, historical bank statements will be available online. As we stated above, it may be a good idea to download your historical statements if you have not already done so.

Online Banking

  • Once our technology migration is complete, our online banking will have a new log in process. This will include changing your password. If you are presently an online banking user the first time you log in on or after March 8th your user ID will be the same. Your password will default to the last four digits of your social security number or the Tax ID number associated with the specific account. The new system will then walk
    you through the process of changing your password and setting up text code verification.
  • It is our expectation that previously set up automatic or recurring internal transfers, bill payments, or other pre-approved transaction will transfer to the new system. However, we ask you to verify the accuracy of these after the March 8th conversion.
  • Previously set up alerts will NOT transfer to the new system. You will need to reestablish these on or after March 8th.
  • If you currently download your transaction history into Quicken or Quickbooks, please read the Quicken/Quickbooks conversion guides specific to the type of software you are running for instructions on how to successfully convert your online banking data.
