Anyone who has access to a transaction account in Online Banking is eligible to use the Online Banking Bill Payment service once they have been authorized to do so by our financial institution. To sign up for our Online Banking Bill Payment service, select the "Bill Pay" option for the account(s) you wish to make payments from when you enroll for Online Banking. If you are already enrolled in Online Banking, just contact our financial institution using our Online Banking secure email service and let us know which account(s) you wish to make payments from.

If you’ve forgotten your Access ID, call your local Security Savings Bank during normal business hours and a Customer Service Representative will be able to direct your call to the appropriate staff member to help you.  If you’ve forgotten your password, enter your Access ID on the log-in page and select the “Forgot Your Passcode?” link.  You will be able to respond to the authentication question you set up when you established your online banking account.  Once you have successfully answered the authentication question, you’ll be prompted to reset your password.  If you are unable to answer the authentication question or need additional help, call your local Security Savings Bank for further support.

Access to the online banking system is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week except during occasional system maintenance.

You must have an account with us, and you must have a secure Internet connection. Our Online Banking system currently is best viewed with the latest versions of Chrome and Firefox. Your browser must also be SSL compliant with 128 bit encryption.

With Online Banking, you have control over nearly every aspect of managing your accounts. You can:

• View transaction history on your Online Banking accounts.
• Transfer funds between your authorized Online Banking accounts.
• Pay one-time, occasional, and recurring payments online.
• Download account information into Quicken® or Microsoft® Money.
• Send and receive secure electronic messages to and from our financial institution.

We take numerous steps to keep your account information secure. However, you must take precautions as well.

• Choose a good passcode - Your online passcode, along with your access ID, authenticate you when you begin an Online Banking session. You should carefully select a passcode that is hard to guess. You should not use personal information or a word that can be found in the dictionary.
• Keep your passcode safe - Even the best passcode is worthless if it’s written on a note attached to your computer or in your checkbook. Memorize your passcode and never tell it to anyone. We do not need your passcode to help you, so we will never ask you for it.
• Change your passcode regularly - It’s important to change your passcode regularly. Every time you choose a new passcode, the Online Banking system runs a quick program to test it. If we can guess it, we will immediately ask you to choose another one.
• Remember to sign-off properly - You may not always be at your own computer when you bank online. Therefore, it’s important to sign off when you’re finished banking. If you forget to do so, the system automatically signs you off after 10 minutes of inactivity. This will prevent anyone else from accessing your account.

Once you submit your online application, it will usually take two to three business days while we verify your account.

Our Online Banking Bill Payment service offered through Online Banking allows you to set up payments to just about anyone. You tell us the person or company you want to make a payment to, and we will withdraw the money from your account and send the payment to the payee. You may schedule one-time, occasional, or recurring payments to be paid right away or a date in the future.
