Online Banking Security
Central Bank uses many different methods to help keep our valued customers information secure.
- Secure sockets layer (SSL) not only encrypts the data sent over the Internet, the certificates used for the encryption also help customers identify they are at the correct website
- Usernames, complex passwords and challenge questions identify the person signing in to an online account
- The automatic sign out feature prohibits another person from trying to resume an inactive session
- Business Online Banking customers utilizing ACH and wire functionality secure transactions with a One-Time-Password (OTP) token
- Account numbers are masked for all Online Banking services
Online Statements
Online Statements from Central Bank look just like your paper statements but are delivered to you through your Online Banking account at no charge! Online Statements help reduce the risk of identity theft that can occur when paper statements are mailed or discarded. Online Statements also:
- Simplify financial record keeping
- Arrive sooner than paper statements
- Eliminate paper clutter

If you’re already an Online Banking user, click “Profile” from the top menu, scroll to “Electronic Statements” and click “Edit”. Simply answer a few questions and you’re set! You will receive an email notification when your statement is available.
Accessing your Online Statements
Accessing your Central Bank Online Statements is easy! Log in to your Online Banking account and direct your cursor over “Accounts” until a dropdown menu appears. Then move to the appropriate account in the menu and wait for another menu to appear. From that menu, click “Documents”. Search by date, click “Submit” and your “Available Documents” will appear.
Online Bill Pay
Online Bill Pay is an additional service offered through Retail Online Banking. Adding this convenient option allows customers to securely and conveniently schedule almost any payment without the hassle of checks, envelopes or stamps.
Central Bank is so confident payments sent through Bill Pay will arrive on time, this service comes with a payment guarantee. If a customer schedules their payment according to the terms and conditions of the service, and the payment arrives late, any late charges (up to $50) will be covered.
Hundreds of companies nationwide also allow customers to receive e-bills through Central Bank’s Online Bill Pay service. E-bills are just like the paper version but allow customers to be more environmentally friendly and keep all payment information in one place. Payments for e-bills can even be scheduled before the bill arrives.
Customers can add Online Bill Pay to their Retail Online Banking account by calling a Personal Banker or by sending a message through the Bank Mail in Online Banking stating they would like to be enrolled.
