Transaction Limitations

Your ability to initiate transactions between deposit accounts may be limited by federal law or by the terms of your deposit agreement with us.

Bill Payment Service

The Bill Payment service allows you to schedule bill payments through The First Citizens National Bank Online Banking. You must complete a separate Enrollment Form to subscribe to this service. The Bank does not provide the service directly. Instead, the Bank entered into an agreement with a bill payment provider to provide the bill payment services directly to you. A bill payment account (“Bill Payment Account”), separate from any account you hold at the Bank, is established at the Bill Payment provider.

The Bank and its Bill Payment provider reserve the right, at their discretion, to implement security features to reduce the risk of loss. These may include requiring pre-authorized drafts, verifying funds through an ATM network, and separating debits from credits so that payments are not sent until after good funds are received. The Bank and its Bill Payment provider also reserve the right to terminate your use of Bill Payment Services at any time.

Information Security

We are strongly committed to protecting the security and confidentiality of our customer account information. We use several techniques to help secure our Online Banking Services including the following:

  • You can only access The First Citizens National Bank Online Banking with certain browsers that have a high-security standard.
  • Security images and passphrases are used to identify the website.
  • Your account numbers may or may not be displayed in full. Either the last four digits can be viewed or the entire account number may be displayed with Cash Management Online Banking.
  • You must have a valid Username (Access ID) and Password to log on.
  • Additional security questions will be prompted when using a non-registered computer.
  • If no action is taken for 10 minutes, you will be automatically logged off the Online Banking Service.
  • All passwords must be changed when logging into Online Banking the first time. Online banking profiles will expire after 90 days of inactivity.

Despite the security techniques we have put into place, the Internet is a public network, subject to all of the risks to security and data corruption attendant thereto. You agree that we are not responsible for unauthorized access to or misuse of your account or property by unauthorized persons, except as provided in this Agreement, or for data corruption caused by Internet communications. You agree to make no attempt to access or use any account belonging to others. We may terminate your access and use of any The First Citizens National Bank website if we believe your access or use is infringing any rights of others.

System Requirements

To access The First Citizens National Bank Online Banking, you must have a personal computer equipped with a modem and a compatible web browser software, and 128-bit data encryption capability. Compatible browser software includes, but is not limited to Microsoft Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, most recent versions.

You should never provide your password or other identifiers used for system login to anyone, including anyone claiming to represent the Bank. You are liable for all transactions made or authorized using your Username (Access ID) and Password.

Protecting your Username (Access ID) and Password

You agree that if you give your Username (Access ID) and Password to anyone or fail to safeguard its secrecy, you do so at your own risk since anyone with your Username (Access ID) and Password may gain access to your accounts. You agree to notify the Bank immediately in the event your Username (Access ID) and Password is stolen or is otherwise compromised. At any time, you may ask the Bank to disable your Username (Access ID).

Each person on a joint account will be liable for all transactions that are made on the account. Each person on a joint account authorizes all transactions made by any other person on the account. Each person on a joint account agrees to be liable for the action of the other person(s) on the account.

Indemnity to the Bank

You hereby indemnify and release the Bank from any and all liability. You further agree not to make any claim against the Bank or bring any action against the Bank for honoring or allowing any actions or transactions where you have authorized the person performing the action or transaction to use your account or when you have provided your Username (Access ID) and Password to that person. You agree to reimburse the Bank for any losses it suffers or any damages, injuries, costs, or expenses it incurs (including attorney’s fees) as a result of the Bank’s honoring or allowing transactions on the account where your Username (Access ID) and Password was used.
