Q. What does the phrase Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) mean?
A. This means the security system will be monitoring your online banking behavior. For instance, the security system will collect data about the methods you use to access your online banking information i.e. Do you access online banking at home or from work? It collects this data and establishes a pattern specific to you. It will analyze these patterns for a minimum of 30 days. Once the system has established a pattern for you, the MFA feature will prompt you to answer three verification questions. Whenever the MFA feature thinks you have varied from your established pattern, you will be prompted to answer 2 of your 3 verification questions to verify your identity. MFA also means you will be asked to select a picture starting March 19th 2007 to act as a confirmation that you are at First National Bank's website.
Q. What is the authentication image, and how does it work?
A. Starting March 19th 2007, you will be prompted to select a picture to act as a confirmation that you are at First National Bank's website. This picture will appear when you enter your personal ID prior to entering your password. After completing login, this image will also appear in the lower left corner of the account listings page. Once setup of your authentication image is complete, verify your picture prior to entering your password at each subsequent login.
Q. What if I get an error message when I answer my challenge questions?
A. You should try to enter your information again. If you fail to successfully answer your security questions after 3 attempts you will be taken out of Online Banking completely and will not be able to log back in. A designated FNB employee will have to unblock your account.
Q. Are the answers that I supply to my challenge questions case sensitive?
A. No, answers are not case sensitive.
Q. Can I change my challenge questions after setup?
A. Every six months you will be asked if you want to change your security questions.
Q. Can I change my authentication image?

Q. Can I access Online Banking from multiple computers?
