How CentralNET Can Help Protect Your Accounts

What You Can Do To Protect Yourself

  1. Central Bank uses a layered approach to protect your privacy and security when using online banking. When you establish your user ID and password only you have access to that information. If you forget your password, please use the password reset link on the login box or contact us to assist with resetting your password.

  2. Please do not share your password. If other members of your family need access to CentralNET, they can enroll and create their own user ID and password that will be unique to them.

  3. Please do not allow your computer browser to store your user ID or password.

  4. Keep your Internet browser and anti-virus software up-to-date. That will help protect your online activity and your private information that is stored on your computer.

Use Alerts to Stay Informed About Your Account

Alerts received via email and/or SMS text messages allow you to keep up-to-date when your accounts undergo certain conditions, such as if a credit over a specified amount is posted to your account or if the balance on your account has fallen below a certain amount. After you have logged onto CentralNET, select Settings, Security and Alerts, and then Alerts. The following shows the steps you may take to set up an alert.

  1. Choose the event for which you would like to receive notification.

  2. Choose the account for which you like the alert to be for.

  3. You may need to choose an amount to dictate the qualification for the notification.

  4. Select to receive an email and/or mobile alert. You will be asked to supply the email address at this time.

  5. Select Review, and then select Save Alert.

Alerts can provide valuable information about the status of your accounts. If you ever receive an alert that is inconsistent with your account records, please contact Client Services immediately or at the start of the next business day at 859-253-6359 or 800-637-6884.

Use eStatements to Receive Your Information

One of the many benefits of online banking is accessing your account detail whenever you need it. With eStatements, you can generate, display and print account information when you want it. After you have logged on, select an account, then select Online Statements. You will need to accept terms and conditions and verify which accounts you would like to enroll in eStatements. Keep in mind enrolling an account in eStatements will stop paper statements from coming for that account and you will only be able to view the last 18 months of statements online. The system displays a PDF version of your statement, which you can immediately download and/or print. eStatements also provide the additional security of the Bank’s network because they can only be sent to you upon your request, inside CentralNET’s operating system.

Remember, Going Paperless will terminate paper statements, providing enhanced security and helping to protect the environment.
