General
How much does this service cost?
There is currently no charge associated with the service. However, there may be charges associated with text messaging and data usage on your phone. Check with your wireless phone carrier for more information.
Is it secure?
Yes, the mobile banking service utilizes best practices from online banking, such as HTTPS, 128-bit SSL encryption, or password access and application time-out when your phone is not in use. Only the phones that you personally enroll in the service can access your accounts. In addition, no account data is ever stored on your phone. And in the event your phone is lost or stolen, the service can be immediately disabled by either going online to the Mobile Banking enrollment website or calling us.
Which wireless carriers are supported?
We support all the popular US wireless phone carriers, including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Element Mobile and Verizon. If your carrier is not listed when you enroll, select 'Other' and try the Mobile Web option, or check back later, as new carriers will be added over time.
Do I need a text message or data plan?
Yes, a text messaging and/or data plan is typically needed, as data usage can become expensive without them. Please check with your wireless carrier for more information.
I'm not enrolled in Consumer Internet Banking. Can I still use this?
You must first enroll in Consumer Internet Banking before using mobile banking. Enroll here.
What is Activation?
Activation is a one-time process that helps ensure your security. An activation code is issued to you on the online enrollment site. You will need to enter this code on your device to begin text banking. You may also need to enter this code for mobile banking if you don't use challenge question(s) for online banking. If you use challenge questions for online banking, you can enroll for mobile banking directly from your mobile phone without an activation code. We recommend you print your activation code and installation instructions for easy reference during installation.

Troubleshooting
I enrolled my phone number but did not receive a text message. What should I do?
Typically you should receive a text message within a few minutes after enrolling, however sometimes mobile carriers experience delays which slow down text message delivery. While waiting, make sure your phone has wireless signal. In addition, be sure you entered the correct phone number on the enrollment site. If you still do not receive it, try to enroll again. If the problem continues, contact your wireless carrier to be sure text messaging is enabled on your phone.
I received an activation code but never used it. What do I do now?
Activation codes expire after a specific period of time (usually 24 hours). If you need a new one, return to Consumer Internet Banking and click on Manage Mobile Banking Settings, then request a new activation code.
What happens if I get a new phone or change phone numbers?
If you get a new phone or change phone numbers, be sure to return to Consumer Internet Banking and click on Manage Mobile Banking Settings and update your phone profile. We recommend removing your old phone and re-enrolling your new phone.
Can I use Mobile Banking or Text Banking on more than one phone?
Yes. Visit Consumer Internet Banking, click on Manage Mobile Banking Settings and simply add another phone number.
I activated Mobile Banking on my phone's browser. Why am I being asked to activate again?
At the time of activation a "cookie" is stored on your phone's browser which allows the Mobile Banking system to remember that you activated. The cookie is only visible by the Mobile Banking system and does not contain personal information. Some phones may require you to enable cookies or periodically erase them, requiring reactivation. If you are experiencing this issue, check your phone settings to ensure that cookies are enabled. If cookies are enabled and the issue persists, please contact your mobile network carrier for cookie support information on your mobile phone. If you would like to reactivate, text R or RECOVER to 79680. If WoodTrust supports enrollment on your mobile phone, you will not need to provide an activation code. However, you may be asked to enroll again due to issues with cookies.
What if my device is lost or stolen?
If you are concerned about misuse of your phone, contact your mobile service provider immediately to stop all wireless service. Additionally, sign on to online banking and disable or remove your phone.
