Online Banking

Online Banking

The Bank of Stronghurst Internet Banking allows you to meet your 24-hour banking needs wherever you may be. 

With Internet Banking, you have the ability to do the following easily and securely:

• Account Inquiry
• Review current and previous statement activity
• Image retrieval
• Transfer between your Bank of Stronghurst accounts
• Make loan payments from one of your Bank of Stronghurst accounts
• Bill Payment
• E-Statements

Bank of Stronghurst offers enhanced online security through an Extended Validation (EV) certificate which replaces the old multi-factor authentication that included an image and pass phrase in order to log in to Internet Banking.

After you have typed in your Access ID and click on Login, you will see the website URL address bar change to green, providing you with visual confirmation that you are on a valid website. In addition, EV certificates provide a special field that appears with the names of the legitimate website owner (Fiserv, Inc.). Each browser displays the EV certificate differently.

When attempting to access your Internet Banking account from a different computer, you will be prompted to answer additional verification questions.
