How do I access digital banking?

You can access the new digital banking and your account on a desktop, laptop, mobile phone, or other internet-accessible device. If you’re a current Online Banking customer, simply log in with your Online Banking credentials to both Online and Mobile Banking. There are two access points:

  1. Visit our website at www.communitybankpkbg.com and click on the Online Banking button to log in and get started.
  2. Download the MyCommunity Mobile Banking app from the Google Play or Apple Store by searching for Community Bank of Parkersburg. Look for the Community Bank tree.

Note: You will not be able to access the website via old bookmarks, you will need to save the new site https://my.communitybankpkbg.com as your new bookmark. If you are not a current Online Banking customer, you can enroll today by completing the Online Banking application on our website https://www.communitybankpkbg.com/personal/online-mobile-services and click on the Enroll Today button. Once you've completed the application, simply drop it off at one of our convenient locations.

 

Do I need to re-enroll in digital banking after the upgrade?

If you’ve previously used our mobile app, Community Bank of Parkersburg, you will not need to re-enroll. Simply log in with your existing Online Banking credentials. You will receive a prompt to upgrade to the new version within the next 30 days. 

If you’ve not previously used the mobile app, there’s a simple enrollment process you will need to go through. To enroll, go to https://www.communitybankpkbg.com/personal/online-mobile-services and click on the Enroll button. 

 

What browsers are supported for Online Banking?

Online Banking supports the latest versions of Microsoft EdgeTM, Google ChromeTM, Apple© Safari©, and Mozilla© Firefox©. Please make sure to keep your browsers up to date to ensure safe browsing and uninterrupted access to digital banking.

Note: Microsoft no longer supports Internet Explorer versions older that 11.0, and security updates are not available. Please use one of the browsers listed above.

Safari versions below 10.1.2 are not compatible with the initial login process. To complete the initial login process, upgrade to the latest version of Safari, or using Chrome or Firefox.

The following types of browsers and tools are not recommended for use with digital banking:

  • Beta Versions
  • Embedded browsers within Personal or Commercial Financial Management Software

Note: If you’re using different browsers and choosing to "remember this PC," you will be asked to verify your account every time you log in with a different browser. 

 

What is Two-Factor Authentication and why is it used by the digital banking system?

Two-Factor Authentication is a security measure that allows you to request a one-time access code to log in to digital banking. The code enhances the security by creating an added layer on top of your unique username and password. This security process helps to verify you, and better protect your credentials and the accounts you access.

 

When I log in to digital banking, do I need to get a confirmation code every time I log in?

No. If you’d prefer not receive a confirmation code or phone call every time you log in to digital banking, check the "Don't ask for codes again on this computer" box. If you prefer to input a confirmation code with each use, you can leave the box unchecked or use the Two-Factor Authentication app to deliver the code.

Note: If you ever want to remove a device and reset your security settings, you can change them in settings once logged in to digital banking.

 

Can I use email for two-factor authentication?

Not at this time. A phone number is required for the two-factor authentication. The one-time access code will be sent via text or voice call. The phone number must match our records for the additional security layer to work correctly.

With text option: The verification code will be within the text message. Do not use the phone number the text originates from as the verification code.

With voice call option: When you first receive a voice call you’ll be asked to enter a random digit on your keypad to verify you’re an actual person. Once you’ve completed this step you’ll receive your verification code to input on the computer or mobile device.

 

How can I log in to digital banking if I can't get a verification code through text message?

Two-factor authentication uses a unique one-time access code to verify identity and log in to digital banking. If you’re unable to receive text (SMS) messages, you can choose to receive your access code via a phone call.

  • On the verification code screen, click Try another way located beneath the Verify button
  • Select Phone Call and click Next
  • You will receive an automated phone call that will provide your access code (have a pen and paper ready)
  • Return to the verification code screen
  • Enter your access code and click Verify

If you’re still having trouble, contact Community Bank at (304) 485-7991 to ensure we have the correct phone number on file.

 

What are the digital banking username and password requirements?

To help ensure the safety of your personal information online, create unique login IDs and passwords so that they cannot be easily guessed. Never share your IDs or passwords with anyone. The requirements for login credentials are as follows:

Digital Banking Login ID:

  • Must be between 4 and 25 characters in length
  • Can contain both numbers and letters

Digital Banking Password:

  • Must be between 6 and 25 characters in length

How do I log out of the mobile app?

When you are using the mobile app, there is not a logout button to push. You can exit the app by going to a different app or your home screen. Each time you navigate away from the app, your active session is ended, which serves the function of a logout button. When you navigate back to the app, you will be asked to re-authenticate, and if you have quick access features such as FaceID, TouchID, or passcode login, you can gain access quickly each time.

If you want to remove the connection between your device and your account altogether, you can go to the Menu > Settings > Remove Profile. This will remove all association between your account and the mobile device and app you are using. Each time you attempt to access the app after this, you will have to put in the full username, password, and two-factor authentication to authorize your account on that device.
