Can I use Online Banking with Microsoft Money or Quicken?

Yes, your history can be exported to personal finance software such as Microsoft Money, Intuit Quicken and Intuit QuickBooks.


Can other people on the Internet see my account information?

Electronic transactions are more private than traditional paper transactions. Think about all the information printed on your personal check that is easily read by anyone who handles that check---your name, address, phone number, bank name and account number, and perhaps your driver's license number or social security number. In contrast to such printed information that anyone can read, the electronic information that travels from your computer to our I-Bank24 Online Banking System is securely encoded by a complex mathematical procedure called encryption. Encryption is the scrambling of information transmitted over the Internet, for privacy and confidentiality. In addition, access to your accounts is restricted by the use of a password and other information that only you should have.


What is the cost for Bill Payment Services and how may bill payments can I do each month?

It is FREE for all customers with unlimited bill pay access.

Additional charges may apply for Check Copy requests, Stop Payment requests for I-Bank24 items, or NSF items.


What date should I enter as the payment date? When does it post to my checking account?

The payment date is the date you want payment sent to the payee. This is not the date your payment is due. You'll need to allow a minimum of 5 (five) business days for your payment to reach the payee and be posted to your account. You should take this into consideration when paying bills to avoid late charges. The payment posts to your checking account on the payment date you enter.


I have payments for the same amount due at the same time each month. Is there an easy way to handle these payments?

Yes, the I-Bank24 system provides for recurring payments. You set the amount, date, payment frequency and the number of payments to be made and the System will initiate the payments for you on your schedule. When the number of payments you have selected (up to 999) has been reached, the bill pay vendor will automatically be deleted from your bill payment list. To make sure your bill pay vendor is not deleted, review the bill pay vendor to determine the number of payments remaining. If you need to continue paying this vendor, simply adjust the remaining payments. ( If your bill pay vendor is deleted you will need to re-establish the payee). Please click here for detailed Bill Payment Instructions.


How can I cancel a Bill Payment?

You may cancel a Bill Payment any time before 2:00 PM Eastern Time of the day the payment is scheduled to take place. Simply point to "Bill Payments" and click on "Payment List". Click the delete button on the payment you wish to remove. Please click here for detailed Bill Payment Instructions. Please note: When you delete the bill payment, you are also deleting the bill pay vendor. 



Are there limits on the number of transfers I can make?

Online banking poses no limits on the number of transfers you can make. However, federal regulations limit the number of withdrawals and transfers on certain types of Money Market and Savings accounts. If you are unsure about the restrictions on your accounts, call Franklin Savings Bank at (603) 934-4445 or e-mail us at mybanker@fsbnh.com.
 

I have an account at another bank. Can I transfer funds to it from my Franklin Savings Bank account?

With I-Bank24, transfers can only be made between your Franklin Savings Bank accounts. Should you need to transfer funds to other financial institutions, please speak to a Franklin Savings Bank Representative regarding I-Business24 Online Cash Management.


When will my Express Transfer take place?

Immediately. Express Transfers initiated through I-Bank24 post immediately to the receiving checking, savings or loan account. Express Transfers made to CheckLine accounts post on the next business day when initiated before 2:00 PM Eastern Time.


When will my Scheduled Transfer take place?

If you make a Scheduled Transfer before 2:00 PM Eastern Time, your transfer will be credited on that business day. If you make a transfer after 2:00 PM Eastern Time, the transfer will post on the next business day. You can also post future date transfers.



What is the best way to make a Franklin Savings Bank loan payment?
 
We recommend that you enter it as an Express Transfer because it will post on the payment day you entered and there is no fee. If you enter it as a Bill Payment, it will be sent as a paper draft and may take up to 5 (five) business days.


Can I access my accounts from more than one location? Can I use the system at home, at work or when I'm traveling?

Yes. You can access your accounts from anywhere that you have Internet access. You will need to register the computer as a personal or public computer when accessing your accounts from a different location.


Is Online Banking safe and secure?

Yes. The system features password-controlled system entry, a VeriSign-issued Digital ID for the online banking server, Secure Sockets Layers (SSL) protocol for data encryption, and a router loaded with a firewall to regulate the inflow and outflow of server traffic.

What happens if I enter an incorrect password?

Can I take the system for a "test drive" before signing up?

Most definitely. You can test drive our system by clicking on the "I-Bank24 Online Demos & First Time Users" button on the home page of our web site (www.fsbnh.com).
