Q. How do I enroll in Online Banking?

A. Simply go to the Online Banking Enroll page.  If you are a consumer, (1) please click on the link provided, (2) identify yourself online, and (2) enter the required information. Enrollment is immediate.  If you are a Middleton Community Bank business customer, you will need to complete an enrollment form that can be mailed or faxed to us. Or simply visit one of our branch locations to enroll. Middleton Community Bank will send you an Online ID and Password to use when logging on the system the first time.

 

During the first-time login, you will be asked to select a personal image/watermark which will display during your online session. You will be prompted to create your own unique Password. Your password must be a minimum of 8 characters and contain alpha, numeric and special characters.

 

Q. What if I forgot my password?

A. You can reset your password by using ‘Reset Password’ function. To enable this function you must enter a ‘Personal Question’, ‘Answer’ and ‘Email Address’ in the Options Menu. If you get locked out of Online Banking, click ‘Reset Password’ tab on the log in screen and enter your current Online ID and email address. Within a few minutes you will receive an email that will guide you through establishing a new password. You can also call us at (608) 824-3200 to reset your password.

 

Q. How current is my account information?

A. Online Banking offers you the most current balance and transaction information available. Most account information will show immediately as transactions are processed throughout the day.

 

Q. What is the difference between the current balance and available balance?

A. Your current balance is the account balance at the end of the last business day. Your available balance reflects funds in your account available for immediate use. Pending transactions that have not yet posted to your account may affect your available balance.  Pending transactions items are identified as “MEMO” items in the transaction description in Online Banking.  For example, when a merchant obtains authorization from us to approve your purchase, this pending transaction will affect your available balance and will show as a “MEMO” item.  Once the final transaction from the merchant is processed/settled (also known as posted), the amount will be reflected in your current balance.

 

Q. Why is there a one dollar transaction on my account?

A. Some merchants will pre-authorize a debit card to ensure that it is a valid and active account, essentially placing a $1 hold on your account. The pre-authorization amount will remain until the merchant submits the actual amount of the transaction for payment and it posts to your account. Once the payment posts, the $1 pre-authorization will come off your account. This process could take 2-3 business days.

 

Q. How late in the day can I initiate a funds transfer between by Middleton Community Bank accounts?

A. All online banking transfer requests received before 6:00 p.m. (CT) on a business day will be processed that day
