Presidential Responds: Customers May Discontinue Paper Statements

June, 2007 Presidential Bank is providing interested customers the option to utilize internet banking exclusively to verify account activity, which includes viewing and printing monthly statements. Voluntarily choosing this option will discontinue monthly paper statements. And, as usual, internet banking continues to be FREE.

Many customers informed us they never look at paper statements and are more than satisfied getting account information through Presidential Bank’s free internet banking service. Additionally, there is good potential to reduce waste in resources, allowing Presidential to pass those savings to our customers.

FREE internet banking provides benefits far beyond paper-less statements, such as:

  • Real-time account information, for all your linked accounts such as checking, savings, money market, custodial accounts, etc.
  • 24/7 access…from anywhere in the world via internet connection
  • Transfer funds between all your registered Presidential accounts
  • Print statements for your records…anytime!
  • View and print check images
  • Download account activity to Quicken 99 or later(QIF), MS Money(OFX), Quicken Financial Exchange(QFX), and Excel(CSV)

Enjoy peace of mind because our security technology protects your online access to banking services. (If you haven't already activated your FREE internet banking, contact Customer Service at 1-800-383-6266.  Access your accounts today!)

Again, this is entirely voluntary and requires customers to notify us. Customers wishing to opt-out of monthly paper statements with continued access to FREE internet banking please see your Branch Manager or notify Customer Service below. Phone requests will not be accepted.

Identity Theft Protection
Enhanced Login Security

February 9, 2007 At Presidential Bank, it’s our business to provide you value for the dollar and peace of mind.

We continue to provide innovative solutions for customers with the recently announced requirement of Enhanced Login Security for internet access to accounts. Previously a voluntary service, the requirement for all customers to pass through Enhanced Login Security began January 30, 2007.

Benefits of Enhanced Security Login:

  • Improved protection from identity theft and fraud
  • Reliable security when using trustworthy computers around the world
  • Adaptable to each unique account holder
  • Peace-of-mind to bank anytime, anywhere

It’s simple to use. Account holders who haven’t already activated Enhanced Security Login will be prompted to do so. An account holder selects a total of three questions to answer. Those unique answers, combined with the account holder’s customer ID and Password create a multiple layer of security. When cookies are allowed, the account holder will not need to answer those questions from that particular computer during subsequent visits. But when accessing from other computers, it will be necessary to answer all questions, thus providing an added layer of security to keep your records safe.

By ensuring access to accounts is limited to authorized customers, Presidential is helping provide a level of service at the cutting edge of technological advancements. We continuously work to keep customers’ identity and records safe and secure. It’s our business and your expectation.
