- I am having difficulty logging into my NetTeller account. What do I do?
There may be several reasons you are experiencing difficulty logging into your NetTeller session. If you complete the ID and PIN fields and click submit and your computer does not seem to do anything, the problem may be your browser. We have found that users with Internet Explorer version 6.0 or XP need to complete one of the following two options:
- At the bottom right hand corner of your screen there should be a little red circle with a minus sign inside. Double click on this icon and a 'Privacy Report' window should appear. On the Privacy Report, highlight the site address in the text area by clicking once on it, then click 'Summary.' When the Privacy Policy window pops up, check the box at the bottom that states 'Always allow this site to use cookies.' Click OK and close out of the privacy report.
- If this does not seem to clear up the problem, you may want to try this solution. On the top Internet Explorer tool bar, choose 'Tools,' then 'Internet Options.' On the Internet Options window, click on the tab labeled 'Privacy.' On the Privacy window, there will be a section titled Settings, and there will be a slider on the left hand side. Move the slider all the way down, until it says 'Accept All Cookies.' Click OK and close out.
- Why does it say 'Your Account is Currently Locked' when I try to log into NetTeller?
- As a security measure, accounts will lock for several reasons, such as inactivity or the incorrect PIN being entered three times in a row. If your account is locked, please call your local branch, or 845-794-9203 during regular business hours. Upon proper identification, we will be happy to unlock the account and reset the PIN. This is only for the security of our customers. We apologize for any inconvenience.
- What kind of browser do I need?
You will need a connection to the Internet and a Web Browser that supports 128-bit SSL encryption. Netscape Navigator 4.5 (or higher) or Microsoft Explorer 5.0 (or higher) both support this type of encryption.
You can download the latest browser software at the following sites:
- What happens if I forget my PIN?

- How secure is NetTeller?
- State-of-the-art technology is used to keep your information secure. All sensitive and personal information is encrypted, and access requires passwords that only you know.

However, if you feel your information has been jeopardized in any way, please contact your local branch immediately.
- Are there limits on the number of transfers I can make?

- Will the memo field be printed on the check sent to the payee?
- Yes. The memo field text will be printed on payments remitted by check. The account number that you entered when you added the payee to your Personal Payee List is also printed on the check. This allows the payee to know which account to apply the payment to.
- Can I postdate single and/or recurring payments?
- Yes. Just set the payment date for any date in the future. Single payments are actually set up into two categories: current and future payments, which allow you to schedule payments in the future or for the current date. If a monthly recurring payment is set up to be paid on the 15th and the current date is November 5th, a payment will be scheduled for the month of November and the 15th of every future month until the end date is reached. However, if the payment is set up to be paid on the 15th and the current date is November 16, the first payment will occur on December 15th.
