General Questions
What is Mobile Banking?
Mobile Banking gives the ability to access account information using 3 different options depending on your preference and the capabilities of your mobile device: 1) Via the browser (Mobile WEB) on your mobile device, 2) Via the Mobile downloadable application (APP) for the iPhone, Android or Blackberry, 3) Via Mobile Text Banking. Both the browser and application options allow you to: view account balances or recent account activity, transfer funds, and find the nearest ATM or branch locations. The Text Banking option allows you to obtain account balances, recent activity and perform transfers.
How much does this service cost?
Claremont Savings Bank Mobile Banking is Free. However, there may be charges associated with text messaging and data usage on your mobile device. Check with your wireless device 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, registration authentication questions, access with a User ID and Password, security authentication questions, and application time-out when your mobile device is not in use. Only the mobile devices that you personally enroll in the Mobile Banking service can access your accounts. In addition, no account data is ever stored on your mobile device. In the event your mobile device is lost or stolen, the service can be immediately disabled by either visiting the Claremont Savings Bank Mobile Banking Center website at https://mb.mbankhost.com/mfa1/wap/home/osidna011/en or contacting a Claremont Savings Bank Customer Service Representative at 800-992-0316.
Which wireless carriers are supported?
We support all the popular U.S. wireless device carriers, including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon. If your mobile 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 with my wireless carrier?
A text messaging and/or data plan is highly recommended, as text and data usage can become expensive without them. If you do not have a data plan, please check with your wireless carrier for more information regarding these services. Please note that you are responsible for any charges incurred from your wireless provider.
Do I need to have Online Banking to use Mobile Banking?

What is Activation?
Activation is a one-time process that helps ensure your security. After you enroll a mobile device for Text Banking on the Mobile Banking Center website at https://mb.mbankhost.com/mfa1/wap/home/osidna011/en, you will receive an activation code which will be required to begin using Text Banking on your device. We recommend you print your activation code and installation instructions for easy reference during installation. For Mobile Web or downloadable applications, activation in Mobile Banking occurs the first time you sign on to Mobile Banking with your mobile device.
