Common Questions
Easy access to good answers!

Utilize the following links to gain access to the most common questions our customers ask!
 

General Questions
Can I call you to apply for an account?
We accept account applications completed online-we are unable to provide blank applications by fax or mail, and we cannot take applications by phone. You can begin the account application by clicking the word "Apply" at the top right-hand side of our website.

I'm completing your online application form, but when I click "Continue to Application", nothing happens.
After you have indicated that you have read the account disclosures and clicked "Continue to Application", the online application form should pop up in a separate window. If you have a pop-up blocker installed on your browser, it could prevent the application form from appearing. Try temporarily disabling your pop-up blocker. If you continue to experience problems, contact our Customer Service team.

When do your rates change?
Our rates are subject to change at any time. However, they are typically updated on Tuesdays. Check our website for our most current rates, or call your Verity Asset Management representative at 1-866-531-6906.

How do I find out if I have accurate FDIC coverage?

Do you offer Profit Sharing Plan accounts, Pension Plan accounts, or Benefit Plan accounts?

How do I make deposits at your bank?
There are four ways you are able to deposit funds into your account.
  1. You can have your payroll check direct deposited into your account. You will need our bank routing number, 083903894, and your PBI Bank account number in order to initiate the deposit.
  2. You can mail your deposit (with a deposit slip) to: PBI Bank, P.O. Box 436029, Louisville, KY 40253. Make any checks out to PBI Bank.
  3. You can ask us in writing to debit your account at another bank through the Automated Clearing House system. You will need to fill out the Cash Transfer Authorization form found on the Forms page of the Customer Service section of our site. Please complete this form, attach a voided check and send it to us.
  4. You can wire money directly from another bank (fees may be assessed by other banks). The sending financial institution will need to know that PBI Bank is online with the Federal Reserve. Our routing number (ABA) is 083903894. They will also need your account number with us. If you are in the process of opening an account, you can use your application number or Social Security number.

How long does it take for me to get access to my account once you have received my application?

How often is my Information Refreshed?
When you login to your account, we refresh your account history with the most current information. This means that when you view the History page, you will see any transaction that has been memo posted to your account up to the minute you logged in. Even if you haven’t logged in for a few days, we still update your account history at the end of every business day.

At the end of each business day we post all transactions for the day. If you login during this time, we will not be able to refresh your information right away. This process takes only a few minutes and you can still view account information from the previous business day or from the last time you logged in that day. If you happen to login during this time, you need only wait a few minutes and then log back in to see up to the minute information.

Where is my Online Statement?
If you opened your account within the last 30 days your first electronic statement might not be ready as your statement period may not be complete.

We do not generate statements for loan or certificate of deposit accounts.

Website Login/Password
What is my username and password?

You selected a username and password with your initial application. You can login as soon as your account is established. If you have any questions or problems, please call our Customer Service team at 1-866-531-6906.


How do I change my password?

If you are already able to log into the site, you can change your password once you have logged in. To set your new password, click "Personal Profile" on the left hand navigation bar. Under "Personal Profile," click "Change Password."

If you are unable to log into the website, simply contact our Customer Service team at 1-866-531-6906. One of our Representatives will be happy to set up a temporary password for you.

Just a reminder, your password will need to consist of 6-20 characters. There needs to be at least one capital letter and one numeral. If you have successfully entered your new password, you will receive a message that it was changed.


I attempted to log into the web site, but it tells me that I am locked out. How did this happen?
This occurs after three consecutive login attempts fail. This is one of the security measures that we use to protect your account from unauthorized access through password guessing. If you have not had any unsuccessful login attempts, please contact our Customer Service team immediately at 1-866-531-6906.

How can I get my password unlocked?
Contact our Customer Service team at 1-866-531-6906. One of our Representatives will be happy to unlock your login and set up a temporary password for you.

I don’t have a phone line at my house since I use my cell phone, however your application states “No cell phones”.  What can I enter for my phone number?
We recognize that many people are moving towards having only a cell phone instead of a home phone line.  If the only number that you have is a cell phone, then you can enter this on the application as your phone number.

I already have one or more accounts open with you; do I have to complete another application and mail you all of my information?
If you still have an open account with us, and that account was opened after 1/1/04, then we can use the existing ID on file for you.

We do still require that a new application be completed for each new account.  However, if you decide to fund this application through an electronic means such as ACH transfer, wire transfer, or transferring funds from an existing account, then you can fax or email the signed application to us along with any other forms or other supporting information. (Such as a voided check, Cash Transfer Authorization form, Payable on Death agreement, Add/Remove Signer form, etc.)

Please note that if your new application includes an owner or authorized signer that is not on your existing account, we will need an ID for this person in addition to the application.  We cannot accept IDs by fax.

Certificate of Deposit Questions
Can my monthly interest from my CD be transferred electronically to my checking or savings account?

How do I renew my CD for a different term when it matures?

What rate will I receive on my new CD?
If you are applying for a Certificate of Deposit account, you are "locked in" at the rate printed on your application, provided we receive your completed, signed application and deposit or deposit instructions within 20 calendar days.

How do I apply for monthly interest checks with my CD?

If you are applying online, you can indicate how you would like interest paid on your CD at the bottom of the Funding page. You can select whether you would like the interest added to your CD, monthly checks issued, or transferred to a checking/savings account that you have with us. You should indicate you would like monthly interest checks by checking the box next to that selection.


Do you mail monthly statements for CDs?
Since account information is available online, we do not mail statements on certificates of deposit. If you have a question or wish to know your present balance, please contact your Verity Asset Management representative.

How is CD interest compounded and when is it credited?
Interest is compounded and posted monthly on the date that the CD was opened. For example, if the CD opened on the 5th of the month, your interest will post on the 5th of every month until maturity. Interest checks are mailed monthly in the same manner.

What is the penalty for closing a CD early?

How do I open multiple CDs?
We require a new application each time you open an account with us. The fastest and most convenient way is to apply online, print and complete the application, and mail it in with your deposit. If you have any questions, please contact your Verity Asset Management representative.

Once a CD renews, how long after the maturity date do I have before it automatically renews?
You have a 10 calendar day grace period from the date of maturity to decide whether or not you would like to let your CD rollover for another term. If you decide to redeem your CD, you will not earn interest during the 10 day period. If you do not contact us within your grace period, the CD will automatically renew.

How do I close my CD at maturity?

Will I receive a new CD receipt if I choose to let my CD roll over?

We do not send new receipts when a certificate of deposit renews.

The CD receipt states that this is a "Renewable Account". If the term or amount has not changed, the certificate receipt remains in force.


Checking/Money Market Questions
Can I transfer monthly interest from my money market account?
Because the interest amount varies each month, we are unable to schedule an automatic transfer of your monthly interest from your money market account. However, you can log into your account online and electronically transfer the interest to your checking or savings account at another financial institution each month.

Do I receive checks when I open a checking or money market account?
You will receive a complimentary order of 50 checks when you open your account. Additional checks can be ordered for a fee.

What are the instructions for closing an Interest Checking or Money Market Account?
In order to close out your Interest Checking or Money Market Account, simply write a check for the remaining balance of the account. You can obtain your closing balance on your statement or by logging into your account.

*Note: Please be sure all transactions have posted to your account and you do not have any outstanding purchases made with your checks or ACH transfers coming out of your account. Otherwise, you may be charged fees regarding these transactions.

How do I set up electronic fund transfer capabilites between my account with you and my account with another bank?

Can account information be downloaded to Quicken or Microsoft Money?
Checking and money market account transactions for the last 90 days are available in QIF format for Quicken and OFX format for Microsoft Money. To access downloads, login to your account, choose the account you wish to download and click the Download button.

Do you mail monthly statements on Personal Interest Checking accounts?
Your monthly account statement is available online shortly after the statement periods ends.

Does PBI Bank return checks if a customer cancels them?
We do not send canceled checks but images are available online.

Saving Questions
What are the instructions for closing a Savings Account?
Since no checks are provided for your savings account, you may do the following:
  1. Login to your account online and submit a Secure Message (using our Message Center option) with your request to close your savings account.

  2. Write a letter, referencing your savings account number, your request to close and your signature. You may fax or mail this letter to us.
