The Bancorp Bank

How much does the mobile banking service cost?
We offer mobile and text banking services to our customers free of charge. There may, however, be charges associated with text messaging and data usage on your mobile device. Check with your wireless carrier for more information.

Is mobile banking secure?
Yes, the mobile banking service utilizes best practices from online banking, such as HTTPS, 128-bit SSL encryption, PIN or password access, and application time-out when your phone is not in use. Only the phones that you personally enroll in the service can access your accounts. In addition, no account data is ever stored on your phone. And, in the event your phone is lost or stolen, the service can be immediately disabled either by signing on to online banking (navigate to “My Accounts > Account Services > Manage Mobile Banking Settings”) or calling the Client Experience team.

Which wireless carriers are supported?
We support many popular U.S. wireless phone carriers, including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon. If your carrier is not listed when you enroll, select “Other” and try the Mobile Web option, or check back later, as new carriers will be added over time.

On what kind of mobile devices will the service work?
You may download apps that will allow you to access our mobile banking service on an iPhone or Android smart phone. Other phones with Internet access, such as a BlackBerry, may use our specially formatted mobile banking Web site. Any phone with SMS text messaging capability may use text banking.

Do I need a text message or data plan in order to use mobile banking?
Yes, a text messaging and/or data plan is typically needed, as data usage can become expensive without them. Please check with your wireless carrier for more information.

I’m not enrolled for online banking. Can I still use mobile banking?
You must first enable your bank account(s) for online banking before using mobile banking.

What is “activation,” and what’s an “activation code?”
Activation is a one-time process that helps ensure your security. After you enroll a phone, you will receive an activation code that you will be required to provide before you can start using mobile or text banking on your device. We recommend you print your activation code and installation instructions for easy reference during installation.

What is text banking?
Text banking gives you access to your accounts via text (SMS) messages on your phone. It’s a fast, easy way to look up account balances or recent account history by sending a text command to a shortcode.

There may, however, be charges associated with text messaging and data usage on your mobile device. Check with your wireless carrier for more information.

Is text banking supported on my phone?
Text banking will work on any text message (SMS) capable phone from one of our supported carriers.

I activated mobile banking on my phone’s browser. Why am I being asked to activate again?
At the time of activation, a “cookie” is generated and stored on your phone’s browser that allows the mobile banking system to remember that you have activated service. Some phones may require you to enable cookies or periodically erase them, requiring re-activation. If you are experiencing this issue, check your phone settings to ensure that cookies are enabled.

How do I optimize my mobile Web experience?
Ensure your phone’s browser has cookies enabled. In addition, enable stylesheets for the best viewing experience.

How do I navigate mobile banking links with my phone’s browser?
There are two easy ways to navigate links. You can either click on the link or enter the associated “accelerator key” number. Just type the number to navigate quickly to the link’s destination. Accelerator key numbers appear next to many, but not all, of the content links.

I am already registered for Funds Transfer and/or Bill Pay. Will those services automatically be available once I register for mobile banking?
Yes, Funds Transfer and Bill Pay will automatically be available to you through mobile banking.

Note: The mobile banking service will only allow you to pay bill-pay recipients who are already registered on your account (you cannot add them through the mobile banking service). If you need to add bill-pay recipients, log on to your account through online banking and navigate to “My Accounts > Make Payments.”

I have not yet signed up for Funds Transfer and/or Bill Pay, but I’d like to access them through mobile banking. What do I need to do?

Log on to your account through online banking and register for Funds Transfer and/or Bill Pay separately. For Funds Transfer, go to “My Accounts > Funds Transfer > Manage External Accounts.” For Bill Pay, go to “My Accounts > Make Payments.”
