Mobile Banking Frequently Asked Questions

It works with any web-enabled phone device whose network allows secure SSL traffic.

Provided you are enrolled in these services, you can:

• View transaction history
• View account balances
• Transfer funds between accounts
• Pay bills to existing payees
• Card Management

If you selected to receive text alerts, each time you make a transfer or bill payment a confirmation text message is sent to your mobile device.  If you do not receive a confirmation text message, double check to make sure the transactions went through by logging into FirstNet.

Log in to FirstNet > Mobile Banking > Deselect Activate Mobile Banking Access >Click Agree.

Contact your mobile provider immediately and notify the bank if you have concerns someone may access your account.  Your account data is not stored on your mobile devices, and cannot be accessed without your login credentials.  When you replace your device, simply edit your Mobile Settings in FirstNet and make any changes to the wireless provider and/or phone number if applicable.

When you complete a transaction from your mobile device (bill payments, funds transfer, etc.) you will receive a text message as confirmation that the transaction was successful.  If you do not receive this message due to a dropped call or lost signal, check your accounts and re-submit any transactions that did not process.

If you simply get a new phone but keep the same phone number and provider, no changes on your part are necessary.  If you switch providers and/or phone numbers, log into FirstNet and update your information on the Mobile Banking page.  You will not receive text messages regarding Mobile Banking transactions if your phone number and carrier are not correct.

You can check your cell phone provider by going to carrierlookup.com.  You can enter your cell phone number and search.  If no carrier displays, the phone number cannot be used to enroll in Community First Bank's Mobile of Text Banking.

Yes.  You can access your accounts via any mobile device that is web-enabled and allows secure SSL traffic.  The only difference is that text messages are sent to the phone number entered when enrolling for mobile banking, not necessarily the device from which you perform the transaction.

You must log into FirsNet and delete the payment from the main menu of the Bill Pay module.

Check your phone's settings to make sure you don't have alpha-only enabled on the keypad.

No. Enrollment for Mobile Text must be set up through FirstNet.

During the enrollment process you designate a mobile short name for each enrolled account. This short name must be included in the text request to get account specific information.
