New, improved Online Banking and Mobile Banking are here at Armed Forces Bank, and we’re excited to share all the great features designed to make our valued clients’ lives easier. With mobile deposit, to streamlined access, enhanced alerts, secure messaging, new payment tools and more.

It’s all available online, so our military service members and their families can access their bank account information from anywhere in the world. All you need is your computer, tablet or smartphone.

When it comes to making a change -- whether that’s a PCS move or a switch to online banking -- there’s often a period of adjustment that follows the change. And you may want to know: Just how secure is it to have all your banking information on your phone or tablet? It’s a valid question, and it’s great that you’re thinking about the importance of security.

By learning about what digital banking can do for you and its built-in security features, you may feel more comfortable.

Account alerts are exactly what they sound like: They allow you to get real-time updates about the status of your bank account activity. Which can help you to stay in control of your finances. And they’re just one way that Online Banking and Mobile Banking can contribute to account security.

There are a few ways you can use account alerts. Here’s one example: You can set up an account alert to notify you if your account balance drops below a certain level. That way, you’ll know if you’re coming close to overdrawing your account. Because there’s usually a fee associated with overdrafts, account alerts can help you keep money in your pocket.

How else can account alerts protect your account security? They can give you a heads up when it comes to fraud or cybercriminals. Imagine that you receive an account alert telling you that your account password has been changed, and you know that neither you nor your joint account holder made the change. In that case, you would know something was wrong. Similarly, receiving an alert about an unauthorized account withdrawal could quickly inform you that your account information was compromised.

Don’t worry -- Online Banking and Mobile Banking don’t make it more likely for either of these situations to happen. Account alerts just make it easier for you to have the upper hand in these worst-case scenarios.

If you’re looking for your previous account alerts, it may take some time to set them up again. The reason is our new Online Banking and Mobile Banking systems offers new and different alert options.

Please take a few minutes and set up new Alerts so you can keep track of many helpful updates such as:

One of the many helpful features of our new Online Banking and Mobile Banking services is that you can now reset your own password without having to call Client Care for help.

When it comes to account security, resetting your password is one of the best steps you can take with even the slightest indication that your account has been jeopardized. Just login to your account, and you can change your password within seconds.

In those kinds of situations, time is of the essence. Especially when you are overseas and may not be able to make a phone call to Client Care for help. With Online Banking and Mobile Banking, you can change your password from your phone, tablet, or computer quickly and easily.

To reset a forgotten password:

If you have a smartphone that allows you to unlock it using your fingerprint or with facial recognition, you may be tired of entering passwords all the time. For some people, even using a passcode can feel quicker and easier than trying to remember a password.
