Through online banking or in the mobile app, you can use TransferNow to transfer funds between your account(s) at Citizens Bank & Trust Co. and other financial institutions. You can access TransferNow from your online banking homepage by selecting “Transfer”, then “Launch External Transfers” and following the on-screen instructions to add and verify your accounts. With TransferNow, you have more flexibility and control over your money.
Before a transfer can be made, the user must verify ownership of the account at the other financial institution. Funds can only be transferred between accounts with same ownership. User should select Add New Account from the External Transfer page in Online Banking. Users have two options for account ownership verification: real-time and trial deposits. The real-time verification process is the default as it allows the user to proceed promptly with the transfer. However, the users will be asked for their log-in credentials at the other financial institution including any challenge questions. If the user does not want to use this method they can select the trial deposit method by clicking link in Information box.
