FAQs

Common Questions

  1. To follow online security protection best practices, you should avoid User IDs and Passwords that are simple and, instead, establish a more complex User ID and Password to safeguard your account and information.

    To create a more complex User ID and Password, try using combinations of letters, numbers, and characters, such as:

    • Passwords are case-sensitive and must be between 8 and 32 characters. They must contain at least three of the following four items:
    • Lowercase letters (a-z)
    • Uppercase letters (A-Z)
    • Numbers (0-9)
    • Symbols `~!@#$%^&*()_+-={}|:;'?,./

  3. Gate City Bank takes the protection of your personal information very seriously. As a safety measure, we may ask you a challenge question to access your online banking account.

    These challenge questions are generated from public records and may include information from several years ago, such as past vehicle registrations.

    If you are having trouble recalling the answer to the questions, please contact us. We may ask you to verify your phone number in the event we need to send you a secure verification code to access your online banking account.

  6. Gate City Bank takes the protection of your personal information very seriously. As a safety measure, we may ask you to provide a one-time passcode or ask you a challenge question.

    A one-time passcode is a code that is valid for only one login session. While logging into your online banking account, you may be prompted to enter a passcode to proceed to your account. You will be asked if you would like this passcode via text or phone call.

    Additionally, you may be asked to complete login challenge questions; these are an extra level of security that helps to prevent unwanted access to an account.

    Events that trigger a passcode or challenge question request:

    • Recently failed log in
    • Logging in from an unknown device (new phone, work computer)
    • Logging in from a network that has not previously been associated with your device (login attempts from a personal phone but your physical location is different)

    As an additional security measure, if requested, your account settings can be adjusted to ask challenge questions each time a login is attempted.

  7. After logging in click on the account you are needing information for, then select ‘Get More Details’.

    From here, you will find the following information:

    • Account Name
    • Account Nickname
    • Current Balance
    • Routing Number
    • Date Opened
    • Interest Rate
    • Year to Date Interest

    • Popmoney® --- (Pay Other People Money) Can transfer money to another person’s checking account within the U.S. Depending on the transfer method may require the recipient’s phone number, email, or routing & account number.

  9. By default, non-US phones do not work but can be added to personal accounts. Please call 800-423-3344 for assistance and we will add that phone number to the account.

    Unfortunately, Business accounts cannot use an international phone, so in order to access your account please answer the challenge questions by clicking “I cannot be reached at any of these numbers” or call us directly to answer the challenge questions.
