Telebanking — Simply call (304) 485-1245, or (800) 617-6189 from out of town, to enjoy 24-hour access to your money – transfer funds, verify deposits, make payments or get an account balance. This is a secured line and your information is safe.
Online Banking — With Online Banking, you can check your account balance, pay bills, transfer funds, stop payment on checks and more. We use advanced Internet Security and User Authentication to ensure your data is secure from unauthorized access, allowing you to bank from your computer anytime, night or day.
With Community Bank’s Online Banking, you can conduct banking business, any day, any time. However, safe banking online involves making good choices – decisions that will help you avoid costly surprises or even scams.
As part of our ongoing efforts to serve your financial needs, here are several common-sense tips for personal and business clients to protect their personal data.
- Protect your browser. If your computer is an open door for fraudsters, any bank’s defenses can be compromised. Make sure you regularly download Windows updates, use current anti-virus and anti-spyware programs and release your credit card data only to online retailers with a locked padlock icon in the lower corner of your browser window. Also make sure the web address has the letter ‘s’ after the http in the address bar.
- Don’t fall for scams. Legitimate financial institutions, like Community Bank, will never ask you to supply person information via email. When in doubt, call Community Bank’s customer service at (304) 485-7991.
- Keep watch. The benefit of online banking is that you can monitor your account almost in real time. This means you can catch thieves long before a statement arrives in the mail.
