Regaining Access to Your Online Account
⚠️ Forgot Password or Account Locked Out
Cause: You have forgotten your password or your online banking account has been temporarily locked due to multiple incorrect attempts.
Solution: We know being locked out of your account can be stressful. To regain access quickly, click the Forgot Username or Password link located under the Sign In button. You will need to enter your Online Banking User ID. An additional security step requires you to receive a one-time security code via a phone call or text message to a number registered with your account. Once you successfully enter this code, you will be able to reset your password and restore access to your digital banking portal.
⚠️ Issues with Secure Access Code
Cause: The Secure Access Code is not arriving, has expired, or is not being accepted.
Solution: Secure Access Codes are time-sensitive, usually valid for 30 minutes, and for single use. If you're not receiving the code, check your phone's service or spam folders. Ensure you are entering the most recent code. If problems persist or if you do not recognize the phone numbers listed for code delivery, please contact Customer Support immediately at 1.800.327.9862 for assistance.
⚠️ Can't Add Payees for Bill Pay via Mobile App
Cause: The mobile app does not support adding new payees for the Bill Pay service directly.
Solution: While you can manage existing payees and pay bills through the mobile app, new payees must be added via the full online banking website. Log in to the online banking portal from a web browser to set up new payees for your Bill Pay service.
Protecting Your Digital Banking Experience
- 🔒 Be Vigilant Against Scams: United Bank will never ask for your online banking User ID, security codes, or account information through unsolicited text messages or calls. Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be from the bank's Fraud Department requesting this sensitive data.
- 🔒 Protect Your Access Codes: Secure Access Codes are for one-time use and expire after 30 minutes. Never share them with anyone, and remember they are distinct from your permanent password.
- 🔒 Smart Device Registration: Only register and activate your computer for future use if it is a personal device you regularly access in a secure environment. When using public or shared computers, always opt for one-time access to protect your login credentials.
- 🔒 Monitor Account Activity: Regularly review your transaction history and account alerts to quickly identify and report any suspicious or unauthorized activity.
