Troubleshooting
I enrolled my phone number in Text Banking but did not receive a text message. What should I do?
Typically you should receive a text message within a few minutes after enrolling, however sometimes mobile carriers experience delays which slow down text message delivery. While waiting, make sure your phone has wireless signal. In addition, be sure you entered the correct phone number on the enrollment site. If you still do not receive it, try to enroll again. If the problem continues, contact your wireless carrier to be sure text messaging is enabled on your phone.
I received an activation code but never used it. What do I do now?
Activation codes expire after a specific period of time (usually 24 hours). If you need a new one, return to the Mobile Banking enrollment site (called the Mobile Banking Center) and request a new activation code.
What happens if I get a new phone or change phone numbers?
If you only use the Mobile Banking app and do not use SMS Text Banking, you simply need to download the app to your new phone and log in to your account as usual.
If you do use SMS Text Banking, log in to your Personal Internet Banking account from a computer and update your phones profile by clicking Manage Mobile Banking Settings. We recommend removing your old phone and re-enrolling your new phone.
Can I use Mobile Banking or Text Banking on more than one phone?
Yes. You can access your account from any phone with the Cambridge Trust mobile banking app installed on it. If you would like to use more than one phone for SMS Text Banking, log in to your Personal Internet Banking account from a computer and enroll additional phones by clicking on Manage Mobile Banking Settings.
I activated Mobile Banking on my phone's browser. Why am I being asked to activate again?
At the time of activation a "cookie" is stored on your phone's browser which allows the Mobile Banking system to remember that you activated. The cookie is only visible by the Mobile Banking system and does not contain personal information. Some phones may require you to enable cookies or periodically erase them, requiring reactivation. If you are experiencing this issue, check your phone settings to ensure that cookies are enabled. If cookies are enabled and the issue persists, please contact your mobile network carrier for cookie support information on your mobile phone.
What if my device is lost or stolen?
If you are concerned about misuse of your phone, contact your mobile service provider immediately to stop all wireless service. Additionally, you should contact the Cambridge Trust Customer Resource Center at 617-441-1444 to deactivate your phone's mobile banking access.
User ID & Password
Is there anything that I should know about selecting a user ID and password?
During the enrollment process, you will be asked to select your own user ID and password. It may be helpful to have this selection ready to use. Both the user ID and password are CASE SENSITIVE. Just follow this required format:
- Your User ID and Password must contain a minimum of 2 alpha and 2 numeric characters
- Your User ID must be minimum of 8 characters, maximum of 32 characters
Your Password must be minimum of 8 characters, maximum of 32 characters
Example:
User ID: Int45net
Password: Bank67g!
What happens if I forget my user ID and/or password?
Cambridge Trust Company does know your user ID, but we do not know your password. If you forget your password, contact Customer Support at 617-441-1444 so that we can issue you a new one.
Can I change my password any time?
Yes, you can change your password at any time, by clicking on Customer Service tab and selecting Password. You will be asked to enter your old password, a new password, and to confirm the new password.
How secure is my user ID & password?
You can help to ensure the security of your information by doing the following:
- Protect your user ID and password. Never disclose them to anyone else. Cambridge Trust Company will never ask you for your password.
- Commit your password to memory; never write it down.
- Change your password whenever you feel that your password may be compromised.
- Do not use passwords that can be easily guessed.
- Always exit properly from Internet Banking by clicking the Sign Off button.
What happens if I pick a user ID that is the same as another customer?
Because user IDs are unique database identifiers, no two customers can claim the same ID. We prohibit new or "re-enrolling" users from taking an ID already assigned to another user, even if that user has been deleted or un-enrolled.
During self-enrollment, the following message appears should you select an ID that already exists for Cambridge Trust Company: "We were unable to enroll you as a user with this input. Please try again or contact Customer Support."
Access
How soon can I access my account information?
Once you have successfully enrolled, you will be able to login immediately to Personal Internet Banking and view your account information.
What kind of information will I see the first time I sign on?
The self-enrollment process automatically enrolls you in our Basic service, which does not include bill payment services. The first screen that you will be taken to will display a summary of accounts for which we have been able to confirm that you are an account owner. During your first online session, you will see account balances and account activity. During any given session, you could see between 30 and 60 days of transactions for your accounts, depending on when your account statement cycled.
Why isn't the amount on one of my accounts appearing on the Account Summary page?
It is possible that the account may have been opened after you enrolled in Personal Internet Banking and is not linked. Contact Customer Support to complete this process.
I had left Personal Internet Banking up on my screen when I went to lunch. When I returned I had to log back in. Why?
For security purposes, Personal Internet Banking has a 'time-out' feature that will automatically log you off if the system has been idle for more than 20 minutes.
Transfers
Can I transfer funds right away?
Once we have verified the information that you have provided, usually within one business day, you will then be able to access additional functionality, such as transfers.
What is the cutoff time for transfers?
Transfers must be made before 9:00 p.m. EST.
Please note: A transfer you schedule for today in a repeating transfer series will be processed the next business day. Remaining transfers in the series will be processed according to the schedule you specify. If you want a transfer processed today, use the one-time transfer feature.
Is there a maximum future date for transfers?
The maximum future date is one year from today's date.
Why do CD accounts appear when I am making a transfer?
All accounts will display in the drop-down list. However, if you try to create a transfer between CD accounts, an error message appears.
The Repeating Transfer screen's Frequency field has an option called "Twice a month." When do these transfers occur?
These transfers take place every 14 days.
When setting up a Repeating Transfer how does the Frequency field work?
If your start date is Tuesday, the 5th of October and you chose the following Frequency:
Weekly - the next date would be the next Tuesday.
Bi-Weekly - the next date would be every other Tuesday.
Twice a month - every 14 days
Monthly - the next date would be the 5th of the next month.
Quarterly - the next date would be 3 months after the date selected.
Semi-Annually - the next date would be 6 months after the date selected.
Annually - the next date would be October 5th of next year.
Out of Band Authentication
What is the one-time security code?
It is a randomly generated one-time code we provide. You enter it before completing certain transactions to prevent fraudulent transactions and unauthorized access to your financial information.
How does the one-time security code work?
Upon setting up certain transactions in Personal Internet Banking, you will receive security code and be asked to select a phone number to receive an automated phone call or text message. If you select a mobile number, you have the option to receive a text message instead of a phone call. Once your contact information is verified, you will receive a phone call or text message from 617-441-1444. When prompted, enter the one-time security code to complete your transaction.
Why is a one-time security code needed?
It is an extra layer of online banking protection that ensures that your funds and financial information are safe. By requiring the entry of a one-time code and the use of a phone you have on record with us, fraud is prevented even if an unauthorized user learns your online banking user ID and password. It also ensures that you are notified if an unauthorized user attempts to access your account information or complete transactions without your knowledge.
What if I do not have a phone number listed on my account or need to update with my current contact information?
Please contact the Customer Resource Center at 617-441-1444 or customerresourcecenter@cambridgetrust.com to update the contact information on your account.
Do I need a new security code each time I try to complete a transaction in Personal Internet Banking?
You will receive a new security code for each Personal Internet Banking session. This code will be valid until you log out of your account. The one-time security code adds an extra layer of online banking protection that ensures that your funds and financial information are safe.
I was unable to complete my transaction with the security code. What should I do?
If you have any trouble using your one-time security code, please contact the Customer Resource Center at 617-441-1444 or customerresourcecenter@cambridgetrust.com.
Bill Payment
Do you offer Bill Pay?
You can apply for our free bill payment services at anytime. Once approved, you will then be able to set up bill payments to both businesses and individuals.
What does this service cost?
Customers can access account information, pay bills online, and transfer funds between their accounts through Personal Internet Banking - FREE!
How does Bill Pay work?
Online Bill Payment is a service that allows you to set up bill payments to businesses and individuals. You enter payment instructions directly into the system prior to our 9:00 p.m. EST cutoff time, Monday through Friday. The following business day, your payment will be sent electronically or by check and the funds will be deducted from your funding account.
How far in advance of the due date on my bill should I schedule my payment?
You should allow ten (10) business days for the processing of your bill payment. The timeframes involved in this process depend on whether the payee accepts electronic payment or requires a paper check.
Can I use multiple accounts to fund bill payments?
Yes, you can.
Can I designate the multiple funding accounts at the time of enrollment?
After the enrollment process has completed successfully, we can assist you to designate additional accounts for multiple funding.
What is the cutoff time for bill payments?
Bill payments must be made before 9:00 p.m. EST.
Can I use Online Bill Pay from outside the United States?
Yes, you can pay bills from anywhere using 128-bit encrypted browser and an Internet connection.
Can I set up a payee in another country?
Online bill payments may only be made to a United States payee (which includes Guam, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and international U.S. military bases) in United States dollars.
Do I need to contact my payees to tell them I am using a bill payment service?
No. Your payees do not need to do anything different to process online bill payments. Online Bill Pay uses the ACH electronic network or a paper check with your payment information clearly indicated.
How do I add a payee (merchant/vendor)?
Use the Payee Search function within the product to find and add your new payee. If the new payee is not listed, simply select Manually Enter Payees and enter the required information.
How long does it take to setup a new payee in Online Bill Pay?
Once the new payee is entered, you can use the payee immediately.
Can I make changes to an already scheduled payment?
If the payment is still pending, changes can be made. However, once the payment has been transmitted, you can no longer make changes to or delete payments.
Can I place a stop payment on a bill payment that I have already set up?
You yourself cannot place a stop payment on a bill payment. If the payment has been processed and is a paper check that has not yet cleared, you may contact the Customer Care Center (800-439-4140) and they can place a stop payment on it for you.
What if my payee says that they have not received my payment?
Contact the Customer Care Center (800-439-4140) who will research your payment.
Stop Payments
What is the cutoff time for stop payments?
Stop payments must be made before 9:00 p.m. EST.
Is there any limit on the dollar amount of a stop payment?
There is no minimum or maximum dollar amount limit. You need to decide if placing a stop payment on a check is worth the fee charged for that service.
Is there any limit on the number of stop payments that I can request?
You may request stop payment on a specific 'physical' check. Standard stop payment fees will apply to this request.
Payments made using the Online Bill Payment feature cannot be stopped using this feature. If the bill payment has been processed and is a paper check that has not yet cleared, you may contact the Customer Care Center @ 800-439-4140, and they can place a stop payment on it for you.
Do stops placed outside of Personal Internet Banking, for example at a branch, appear within Personal Internet Banking?
Yes.
Miscellaneous
What if my e-mail address changes?
You can change your e-mail address directly in the Personal Internet Banking system.
Can I re-order checks through Personal Internet Banking?
Yes, the check re-order menu item can link you to Deluxe's web site, so that you can re-order checks directly from the vendor.
