How do I open an Online Account with New Peoples Bank?
You
must first complete an
Online Banking Application form which is then
submitted to us for processing. This application
form verifies that you wish an Online Banking account
to be setup for your use and provides the information
we need to setup the account. You must also have
a bank account with us (Checking, Savings, Loan...etc.),
to use your Online Banking Account with. If you
do not have an account with us you may open one
by applying online or by visiting one of our branch
offices.
How do I log on to the Online Banking system after
I've completed the Application?
After
you receive your Access ID via postal mail and your password via email, visit our web site and select Log In from the top
right of the home page. This will take you to the log in page. From
this page enter your Access ID in the field provided and click Submit. Then enter your password in the field provided and click Submit. Follow the instructions provided with your Access ID letter to complete the sign in process for the first time.
What do I need to do if I have forgotten my password?
You
need to complete a
Forgot Password form and submit it to us. Our
Online Banking staff will assign you a new temporary password so
you may log back into to our system. After entering
this new data into the logon screen and submitting,
you will be prompted to change your password to
whatever you whish.
NOTE: Your access id and
password are case sensitive, so keep this in mind
as you create your account. Also, your access ID
and Password must be at least 6 characters/digits
long, in addition your password must be a combination
of letters and numbers. For example: peoples1, or
3customer, 12345A, or Peoples1, are all valid passwords.
What do I need to do if I have forgotten my Access ID?
If you have forgotten your Access ID, New Peoples Bank, Inc. requires you to visit your local branch with photo ID to obtain this information. This is for security reasons, and we feel that the benefit is worth the time to our customers as well as to our institution.
I've submitted a Forgot Password form, and have received
my new temporary password. Now what do I do?
Visit
our home page and select the Log In link in the top right
of the page. After the log in page displays enter the data
that was mailed to you and submit. If there are no problems
the system will take you to a page prompting you for a password change.
Simply enter the
current password (this is the temporary password
you just entered), then enter a new password twice
for accuracy and submit. If successful you will
see a list of your accounts, and your new password
will now become your current password for future
log-in's.
When I log into the system I'm taken to a Change Password page. Is there anyway to
skip this as I don't want to change my password?
Our
system requires you to change your password after
three months time. You, will not get a warning that
your password is about to expire. You are simply
taken to a change password page when the time is
up and prompted for your current password and a
new password. Simply complete these prompts to change
your password and submit. You will then have changed
your password to the new one and be shown a list
of your accounts. There is no way around this so
you will have to change your password to continue
into your account. New Peoples Bank, Inc requires
this password change for security reasons, and we
feel that the benefit is worth the time to our customers
as well as to our institution.
My email address has changed. How do I get Online
Banking email replies sent to my new email address?
You may change your
email address that we have on file for you from within our Online Banking system.
Simply log into the system and click on the User
Options button. This will
display an options page to allow you to change your email address, password, or nickname
your accounts if you wish.
Is it possible to transfer funds from my New Peoples
Checking account to my New Peoples Savings account?
Yes,
and vice versa. You may set up a one time transfer
of funds from the account or a scheduled transfer
that will exchange the funds on a regular basis
determined by you.
Can I transfer funds from a New Peoples Checking
or Savings account to another account held by a different
banking institution?
Yes.
You can have the money wire transferred to the account
or an ACH, or you can use our Bill Pay Plus
product to transfer the funds to another financial
institution. For more information about our
