Electronic transactions are more private than traditional paper transactions. Think about all the information printed on your personal check that is easily read by anyone who handles that check---your name, address, phone number, bank name and account number, and perhaps your driver's license number or social security number. In contrast to such printed information that anyone can read, the electronic information that travels from your computer to our I-Bank24 Online Banking System is securely encoded by a complex mathematical procedure called encryption. Encryption is the scrambling of information transmitted over the Internet, for privacy and confidentiality. In addition, access to your accounts is restricted by the use of a password and other information that only you should have.
You can pay bills to anyone in the United States from your personal computer. After you log in to the system, click the "Pay Bill" button to send payments. Enter the requested bill payment information and click the "Submit" button. Please click here for detailed Bill Payment Instructions.

The payment date is the date you want payment sent to the payee. This is not the date your payment is due. You'll need to allow a minimum of 5 business days for your payment to reach the payee and be posted to your account. You should take this into consideration when paying bills to avoid late charges. The payment posts to your checking account on the payment date you enter.
