Citizens Bank & Trust
Digital Experience

The bank-wide updates will take place July 8-12. While many of the changes will happen behind the scenes, there will be some brief disruptions.

Whether you are new to Bill Pay or a long-time user, Bill Pay provides a great way for you to keep track of all your payments! With Bill Pay, customers can securely pay bills, schedule recurring payments, and even set up text and email reminders. To get started, simply enroll in Bill Pay services from your Online Banking or Mobile app.

Once your account is set up for Bill Pay, here is how to get started:

1. Grab a bill and log in to your account
2. Select the Bill Pay link
3. Click “Add a Payee”
4. Enter the information for the company you want to pay

And if you already added a payee, take a look at what else you can do. Just click the link below to get step-by-step directions for other ways your Bill Pay account makes life easier.

Learn how to make your first payment, set up reminders and more.

Online and Mobile Banking will be unavailable beginning at 4:00 PM on Thursday, July 8 until 8:00 AM on Monday, July 12.

Please make note of your Access ID prior to July 8 so you have it handy for future login use. Beginning Monday, July 12, your online/mobile banking Access ID will be referred to as “Username.”

A special note about special characters in your current Access ID (Username):

The new system will only recognize the following special characters within an Access ID: + _ % @ ! $ * ~

On July 12, an existing Access ID would remove those special characters.

Example:

• Current Access ID: Cu$tomer-Name#123
• Username on July 12: Cu$tomerName123

In addition, any blank space or spaces within an Access ID would be removed.

Example:

• Current Access ID: Customer Name 123
• Username on July 12: CustomerName123

Customers who currently use any special character other than + _ % @ ! $ * ~ (including a blank space or spaces) are encouraged to update their Access ID prior to July 8 when Online and Mobile Banking is unavailable. Changes to your current Access ID must be made using Online Banking and cannot be made from the Mobile app.

The first time you log in to the new system you will be able to use your existing Access ID, now displayed as Username. Passwords will be reset to a temporary PIN, which will be the last four digits of your Social Security number.

After you log in, you will be asked to go through the two-factor authentication process and accept the end-user license agreement. Simply follow the prompts and you will then be asked to create your new PIN.

Please note: Account holder must login twice within the first 60 days after the system update.

When you access the new BillPay site after logging in to Online Banking, there are slight changes to the look and feel of the new BillPay screens. However, all of your bill payment information, including your payees, recurring payments, and history, will be transferred to the new system. We do ask that you verify the payee information the first time you pay a bill.

For existing BillPay users: While all information will be transferred to the new system, you will need to agree to the BillPay terms and conditions. However, you will not need to re-enroll.

Yes. Part of the bank-wide maintenance includes a new mobile app. On July 12, the new app, Citizens Bank & Trust FL, will be available in the Apple Appstore and the Google PlayStore. The links will also be available directly from the Citizens Bank & Trust website.

On July 8, 2021, you should complete a data file backup and a final transaction download to ensure a smooth transition. It is critical to complete the final download before this date because transaction history might not be immediately available after the upgrade. In addition, after completing the migration instructions, carefully review your downloaded transactions to ensure transactions were not duplicated or missed on the register.

On Monday, July 12, you will be able to complete the remaining steps on the conversion instructions. You will complete the deactivation/reactivation of your Online Banking connection to ensure you get your current Mint, Quicken or QuickBooks accounts set up with the new connection.
