Q: Who can I transfer money to using Digital Banking?
A: Five Star Bank transfers within Digital Banking allow you to send money to other Five Star Bank customers who are also enrolled in Digital Banking. To make a transfer, you’ll only need the recipient’s email address associated with their Digital Banking account and the last four digits of their account number. Additionally, our Send Money feature enables you to easily send funds to friends and family using just their cell phone number or email address, even if they are not Five Star Bank customers.
Q: How do I add accounts from other banks (external accounts) to Digital Banking?
A: Five Star Bank Digital Banking offers two ways to incorporate external accounts, each serving a distinct purpose:
- “Add an External Account” for Transactions: Found under “External Account Setup” within the Transfers & Payments section, this option allows you to add and verify external accounts for transaction purposes. Follow the on-screen instructions to link your accounts and enable transactions with them through Digital Banking. These accounts will then appear in your account list for payment options.
- “Link Account” for Financial Overview: Located on the home page, the “Link Account” feature allows you to display your external accounts on your Digital Banking home screen and include them in your Financial Tools reporting. This is ideal for gaining a holistic view of your finances across multiple institutions. However, this option does not enable transactions on these linked external accounts within Digital Banking.
Q: Can I customize which accounts are displayed in Digital Banking?
A: Absolutely! You have full control over account visibility. Navigate to the Account Preferences tile under My Profile within the Settings & Support page to manage your account display settings. Simply click on an account and toggle the “Account Visibility” option to hide or show it on your home page and in Financial Tools, tailoring the view to your preferences.
Q: Why am I receiving security notifications from Digital Banking?
A: Security is a top priority at Five Star Bank. Digital Banking sends security alerts to protect your account and provide peace of mind. You can customize the types and delivery methods of these alerts within the alert options tab in settings. While some essential security messages cannot be disabled for your protection, they are in place to safeguard your account. If you receive alerts about invalid login attempts, it is recommended to monitor your account activity and report any suspicious transactions immediately. In some cases, linking certain third-party financial accounts may trigger security alerts when they interact with our system.
