Frequently Asked Questions:

Who can use Online Banking?
Anyone who is an Armstrong Bank client may sign up and have access to any of their accounts.

Can a business client use Online Banking?
Yes. The person opening the account must be on the corporate resolution and authorized to open accounts on behalf of the business. If the person is authorized all he or she needs to do is fill out an application. Otherwise, an authorized person would be required to open the Online Banking account.

Can business accounts and personal accounts be combined under the same client online set up?
Not generally. Online setups are done on an individual basis, and businesses are considered to be a separate entity.

How late in the evening can I make a transfer on a normal business day?
The transfer cut off time for current day’s business is 6:00 p.m. CST.

Are there limits on the number of transfers a client can make?
Yes depending on the type of account you have. Some accounts, such as checking accounts, have no limits on the number of transfers a client can make. However, saving and money market accounts, by federal regulation, are allowed no more than six transfers per month (including no more than three checks).

How current is the information?
The available balance for checking and saving accounts is real time and will change throughout the day based on the activity. For example, as the client uses their ATM or CheckCard or transfers money between accounts, the available balance will be updated to reflect the activity.

I’m having trouble accessing Online Banking. What should I do?
There are several possibilities. If you are having problems accessing many websites, please contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

If you can access other websites but not Armstrong Bank’s, then either our system is off-line or we are experiencing a temporary disruption in service. Please try again later.

If the problem persists, please contact our Online Banking Client Services at 1-888-680-2655. A client service representative will be there to answer your calls Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Why won’t my password work?
There could be several reasons your password may not work. You may be entering the wrong password. You could also be locked out of the system. You are allowed three password attempts, and on the 3rd attempt, if invalid, you will be locked out of the system. If you have not accessed your accounts via Online Banking in the past 60 days, you may be locked out of the system. These are security features built in to the system. If you are locked out, you will need to contact Armstrong Bank Client Services and request that your account be unlocked. You can reach Armstrong Bank Client Services at 1-888-680-2655.

What do I do if I forget my Identification or Password?
If you have forgotten your password please contact our Armstrong Bank Client Services at 1-888-680-2655.  You can also use the feature for Password Self Reset by setting up your email address, secret question, and secret answer in the Options tab of your Online Banking.

What can I do to keep my information secure?
You can provide one of Online Banking’s most important safety features by protecting your Online Banking Identification and password. There are several things you can do to protect your Identification and password.

•	Do not use an obvious number or other accessible information for your Online Banking ID or password.
•	Ensure no one is watching when you enter your Online Banking ID and password.
•	Try to memorize your Online Banking ID and password rather than writing them down.
•	If you record your Online Banking ID and password, store the document in a secure place.
•	Do not share your Online Banking ID and password with others.
•	Report any unusual account activity immediately.
•	Do not give your information to anyone requesting it over the phone unless you have initiated the call.
•	Always log out of the system.

What happens if I forget to log off of the system?
By default Online Banking has a 10-minute time out feature, so if the system is not used for 10 minutes, the user will become inactive and will have to log on to the system again.


There are several items that show up on my current history that I do not understand.
These items are “real time” transactions. ATM transactions, teller transactions (identified as Vertex), Online Banking transfers, ABBIE transfers, and POD items (items presented by another bank that will be processed on the current business day) are considered “real time” transactions. “Real time” transactions are immediately posted to your account without any processing delays and show up immediately on your current history.

What does the downloading feature do?
The download option in Online Banking Account Access allows you to download your transactions into spreadsheet, word processing, and finance programs (Quicken or Microsoft Money).

The download option in Bill Payment allows you to download your payment schedule into spreadsheet, word processing, and finance programs (Quicken or Microsoft Money).
