Rest assured, First Fed Mobile is safe to use! Smartphones such as iPhones, Android and Blackberry have a very controlled and secure operating system. Just like Online Banking, Mobile Banking uses secured encryption and strong Firewalls – which protects from unauthorized or malicious intrusion, and uses your Username & Password for access. Your account will be locked after 3 incorrect login attempts from your mobile device – just like online banking. Also, First Fed Mobile uses additional Security Q&A authentication for ongoing access to your account.
Nobody wants their phone lost or stolen, but in the rare case that it does, you should know that your mobile banking access is secured. No personal info from your Mobile Banking account is ever stored on the phone. Your password is never stored. Your login session automatically times out after 20 minutes of inactivity.
Access to a phone or a tablet can be prevented (suspended) if the device is reported as lost or stolen. Access can be un-suspended to restore mobile services, or the phone or tablet can be de-registered permanently.
It’s really easy to get First Fed Mobile Banking – you just need a smartphone (iOS & Android). You must first be enrolled with First Federal’s Online Banking product to have access to Mobile Banking. You can then enroll via Online Banking or simply find our app in your device app store or Google Play (search for First Federal Van Wert). To later access your mobile banking selections, click on “Options” within Online Banking, go to your Mobile Banking Profile, and select “Manage Devices”. Text, email, or push notification alerts can be received on your smartphone or tablet, and can be setup using Online Banking in your internet browser. Push Notification Alerts can also be managed within your Mobile app. If you need assistance, call us at (419) 238-1463.
