Yes. Mobile devices must be registered during the setup process and unrecognized devices will not be allowed future access to your account information. In addition, data is encrypted between SeaComm and your device. Still, you must follow reasonable security precautions. As with any electronic banking service, you should never share your account number or password with anyone.

Note: Like any computer, your web-enabled cell phone or smart phone is susceptible to viruses, malicious sites and applications. Please be sure to use the same caution when opening emails, clicking on links and surfing the web via your phone as you do with your computer.

All data transmitted during the use of Mobile Banking is protected by 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technology, providing one of the highest levels of security for protecting confidential transmissions of data. The encryption process converts all transmitted information into strings of unrecognizable data, such that even if the data transmission were to be intercepted and recorded, no sensitive information could be retrieved from its contents.

All the accounts normally available to you through the NetTeller™ are available to you through SeaComm's Mobile Branch.

Recently there have been attempts by fraudsters to trick people into revealing their personal information, such as passwords and account information, by creating fake websites that look very much like the sites of legitimate financial institutions.

If you use your debit card to make a purchase, the company may place a hold on the funds until they submit the actual debit. This means that although the money is in your account, it will be withdrawn in the very near future. A hold placed on a check deposited to your account will also cause the available balance to be less than the actual balance. Please keep in mind that your savings account must always have a $5.00 balance. That $5.00 is held in the savings and is not reflected as being available.

You can have another person added to your account by stopping into one of our offices and requesting that the person be added to your account. We will need the person being added to your account to come in with two forms of valid identification. We need all of the account holders to sign a new signature card before the new name will be added to the account.

The joint owner must sign a form to have their name removed from the account. The form is available with any of our Member Service Representatives. You can also download the form, fill it in completely and mail or bring it into any location. The form must be signed signed in front of a SeaComm Representative or a Notary Public.

To protect you from Identity Theft, SeaComm requires that you sign a change of address form. If you are unable to come in to one of our offices, a written request with your notarized signature will be fine. If you have access to your account through the NetTeller™, you may change your address there also. A signature is required to change any address unless it is done on Home Branch where we have already properly identified you.

You should first try to contact the company that debited your account to resolve it with them. We recommend this method first, because it is the quickest way for you to have the money returned to your account. If you can not resolve the unauthorized debit with the company, please come into one of our offices immediately. We will have you sign an unauthorized debit form. There is a $25.00 fee for this service. We can start working on having your money returned once we have your signature on the form. At that time, we can also establish the method of debit and how to stop it from occurring again.

A courtesy pay fee is part of the Over Draft Privilege Program. A courtesy pay fee is deducted from your checking account any time SeaComm clears an item from your checking account that causes your account to go into the negative. The amount of a courtesy pay fee is $25.00. The fee is deducted from your checking account at the same time as the check or debit is cleared. With ODP, SeaComm will not return your check to whoever tried to cash it.

We strongly advise that you close that account, and reopen a new account. Please look under ID Theft on our Security Center page for more specific information on Identity Theft.

We must receive a request from you before either card can be ordered. An ATM card is used primarily to receive funds from an ATM. You must have a checking account to request a debit card. Debit cards allow you to access your funds through an ATM machine as well as make purchases anywhere that Visa is accepted. We accept requests for these cards in person or via the telephone.

If the funds are transferred from another SeaComm account, they are available immediately. If cash is deposited, it is available immediately. If a check is deposited it may or may not be available immediately. Upon deposit of a check you will be made aware of any holds that may be placed on the check. The holds are done for many reasons and can be explained individually at the time of deposit.

Deposits made through the ATM machines will not be available until the deposit is verified. Deposits are verified on the next business day after a deposit has been made.
