bank@home Frequently Asked Questions

bank@home Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to bank@home! From around the corner to around the world, it's the easiest way to bank. With bank@home, you can do any of the following with your bank accounts:

  • View account balances (including checking, savings, loans and lines of credit, CDs and IRAs)
  • Transfer funds (between your deposit accounts and to make payments on your loans)
  • Pay bills
  • Print statements
  • Download transactions into your financial management software
  • E-mail us with questions or support inquires

Getting Started

bank@home can be accessed through the "Internet Banking" icon located on our website. In order to begin banking, you must have a bank@home ID and Personal Identification Number (PIN). To receive these, you will need to complete a bank@home Application and Agreement. You may print out the application and agreement located on our site. Applications are also available via e-mail requests to mybank@orrstown.com, or by calling 1.888.ORRSTOWN, or by requesting one at any of our branch offices. Once we have your completed application you will receive your bank@home ID and PIN.

If you elect to participate in our free Bill Payment, proceed to the Bill Payment section and enter your payees. You will also be prompted to select an account to be used for making these payments.

It's Safe

Not only is bank@home one of the most convenient ways to access your accounts, it's also safe. In addition to requiring you to change your PIN, we adhere to stringent industry standards regarding online security and employ encrypted technology to keep your information secure. All sensitive information requires passwords that only you know.

To further enhance security, log-in sessions have a time-out limit. If you are logged in for 10 consecutive minutes without using bank@home, you will have to log-in again to resume banking. Also, PIN guessing is deterred and reported.

Any Questions?

We want to make your Internet Banking experience as easy and convenient as possible. If you have any questions, please contact our Customer Service Center at 1.888.ORRSTOWN, e-mail us at mybank@orrstown.com, or stop by any one of our branch offices.
