Frequently Asked Questions
General
How much does this service cost?
There is currently no charge associated with the service. However, there may be charges
associated with text messaging and data usage on your device. Check with your wireless
provider for more information.
Is it secure?
Yes, the mobile banking service utilizes best practices such as HTTPS, 128-bit SSL encryption,
device profiling, biometric or password access and application time-out when your mobile
device is not in use. Only the mobile devices that you personally enroll in the service can access
your accounts. In addition, no account data is ever stored on your mobile device. And in the
event your mobile device is lost or stolen, the service can be immediately disabled by either
going online to the Mobile Banking enrollment website or calling us.
What if my device is lost or stolen?
If you are concerned about misuse of your mobile device, contact your mobile service provider
immediately to stop all wireless service. Additionally, sign on to Internet (online) banking,
navigate to the Mobile Banking Center and disable or remove your device.
Which wireless carriers are supported?
We support most of the popular US wireless phone carriers, including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile,
and Verizon. If your carrier is not listed when you enroll, select 'Other' and try the Mobile Web
option, or check back later, as new carriers will be added over time.
Do I need a data plan?
A data plan is typically selected by most mobile banking users, as data usage can become
expensive without it. Please check with your wireless carrier for more information.
I'm not enrolled for online banking. Can I still use Mobile Banking?
You must first enroll in online banking before using mobile banking. Once you receive your
credentials or if you become locked out and require a password reset, you will need to log into
your Internet Banking on our website to create a permanent password before using the Mobile
Service.
What is Activation?
Activation is a registration process that helps ensure your security. There are two methods for
enrollment: Activation Code and Device Enrollment.
Activation Code - After you enroll a device, you will receive an activation code which
will be required to begin using Text or Mobile Banking on your device. We recommend
you print your activation code and installation instructions for easy reference during
installation.
Device Enrollment - If enabled, you may enroll via the device using security questions.
Please refer to the Device Enrollment Section within these FAQs. Note: Text Banking
enrollment requires following the Activation Code method.

password from online banking along with answers to security questions which are known only to
you based on your personal history.

prompt, you will be required to reply to the challenge questions each time you log in to Mobile
Banking.

permanent password by accessing your Internet Banking Service on our website. This is true for the
initial password we issue and any time we reset your password for you.

Troubleshooting
I enrolled in Text Banking with my phone number but did not receive a text message. What
should I do?
Typically you should receive a text message within a few minutes after enrolling, however
sometimes mobile carriers experience delays which slow down text message delivery. While
waiting, make sure your phone has a wireless signal. In addition, be sure you entered the correct
phone number on the enrollment site. After waiting a few minutes if you still have not received your
text message, try sending the activation code. If you still do not receive a text message, contact your
wireless carrier to be sure text messaging is enabled on your phone.
I received an activation code but never used it. What do I do now?
Activation codes expire after a specific period of time. If you need a new one, return to the Mobile
Banking enrollment site (called the Mobile Banking Center) and request a new activation code.
What happens if I get a new mobile device or change phone numbers?
If you get a new mobile device or change phone numbers, be sure to return to the Mobile Banking
website via your PC and update your mobile device profile in the Mobile Banking Center. Remove
your old device and enroll your new device.
Can I use Mobile Banking or Text Banking on more than one device?
Yes. Visit the Mobile Banking Center and simply enroll (and then activate) another device.
I activated Mobile Banking on my device's browser. Why am I being asked to activate again?
At the time of activation a "cookie" is stored on your device which allows the Mobile Banking
system to remember that you activated. The cookie is only visible by the Mobile Banking system
and does not contain personal information. Some devices may require you to enable cookies or
periodically erase them, requiring reactivation. If you are experiencing this issue, check your
settings to ensure that cookies are enabled. If cookies are enabled and the issue persists, please
contact your mobile network carrier or device manufacturer for cookie support information. If you
would like to reactivate, text R or RECOVER to 49794. If Central Savings Bank supports
enrollment on your mobile device, you will not need to provide an activation code. However, you
may be asked to enroll again due to issues with cookies.
What if my device is lost or stolen?
