The move to chip cards is intended to reduce fraud in the card payment system and to increase international acceptance of cards issued by U.S. issuers.
While magnetic stripe technology can usually be used in countries where EMV is prominent, some merchants now require customers to use a chip card.
No. Currently we do not plan to issue contactless chip cards. Chip cards will need to be inserted in a chip terminal. If you have a contactless card, that feature will end when your card is replaced by a chip card.
For credit cards, your existing PIN can be used for ATM-based transactions only. For debit cards, you can continue to use your regular PIN at chip terminals that support PIN entry.
We take card security very seriously and have sophisticated fraud detection services in place:
These services will remain available for use with your chip card. The chip will simply provide an additional layer of security.
EMV is an acronym that stands for Europay, MasterCard® and Visa®. They are the founding companies for chip card technology. EMV is a payment application that resides in a computer chip embedded in a credit or debit card. The application specifications were developed by Europay, MasterCard®, and Visa® in order to help fight fraud. The specifications define a set of requirements that ensure compatibility between payment chip cards and card terminals.
The term “EMV” and “chip card” are interchangeable.
EMV has been widely used in Europe for many years, and the U.S. card issuers are now taking steps to make EMV the standard payment application for enhanced card security. The adoption of EMV will require financial institutions, payment networks, card issuers, payment processors, and businesses to make substantial changes to card issuing, transaction authorization and related processes as well as point-of-sale and/or ATM equipment.
If prompted by the chip terminal to do so, you will be required to sign for credit card purchases. Some merchants, however, do not have customer’s sign their receipt if the sale is below a certain amount.
For debit cards, you have the choice of signing or using your PIN if the merchant’s terminal supports PIN entry.
Yes. At ATMs that are not chip-enabled, the transaction will be processed using your card’s magnetic stripe technology in combination with your PIN. At ATMs equipped with chip readers, the transaction will be processed using the chip technology in combination with your PIN.
During a payment transaction, the chip performs cryptographic processing by assigning a unique code to each transaction. This helps prevent the transaction data from being fraudulently reused. Chip processing takes place only when the card is used at a chip-activated terminal.
A chip terminal is a point-of-sale (POS) device or ATM that is able to process chip transactions. Instead of swiping your card, you insert it in a chip terminal and leave it in the terminal until the transaction is complete. If a merchant does not have a chip terminal or if their chip terminal is not yet activated, transactions will be processed by swiping the card’s magnetic stripe just as they are processed today.
Make sure you remove your card from the terminal before leaving the merchant’s premises! This is a common challenge people face when getting used to using a chip card.
Both “chip and signature” and “chip and PIN” refer to the way a card is authenticated at the terminal. Your card will be authenticated using chip and signature. Chip and signature offers the same cryptographic security as chip and PIN.
While most of the banks in Europe chose chip and PIN authentication, the US market has leaned toward chip and signature in an effort to ease transition by maintaining the current experience of signing receipts. We expect our customers will also appreciate not having to remember a separate PIN in order to complete their transaction. The terminal recognizes that the card is chip and signature and won’t prompt for a PIN, even if it’s used in Europe.
You can help safeguard your information with the following practices:
Provide as many details as possible with your stop payment request. This will help us catch inconsistencies or possible errors. If you receive a confirmation number for a request that you discover is incorrect, contact us immediately to see what actions are available to you.
Banking is made even easier with Transfer-to-a-Friend — a free online banking feature that allows CB&T Online Banking customers to transfer funds from your account to the account of another online banking customer at CB&T.
There are time-related conditions that must be met before a payment can be stopped. If you have questions about processing conditions for a stop payment request, contact us.
eTax Documents will be made available within Online Banking on or before the IRS required deadline. We will notify you by email when an eTax Document is available for viewing. Please see IRS.gov for applicable tax form deadlines.
The agreement can be found in Online Banking. Look under the Payments tab, then click on the Wire Application link. Or, look under the Services tab in the Account Services section. The Wire Application for Online Banking is also located in the Agreement Center of the bank website.
The following notices are available through our eNotices service. You will be notified by email when a notice is generated.
Only IRS forms are covered under the eTax Document service. Any state tax forms the Bank is required to furnish you are not available for electronic delivery. Paper versions of these forms will continue to be mailed to you through U.S. mail.
Tax forms for which Internal Revenue Service reporting thresholds are not met will not be created, and will not be available through online banking. (For example, checking account customers with aggregated interest amounts lower than $10.00 will not receive a tax statement. Please see IRS.gov for the various form reporting thresholds.) Not all account types are eligible for eTax Documents, and not all IRS forms are supported by the eTax Documents service. Eligible account types and supported forms may change without prior notice. However, for any account or form that is not supported or no longer supported by the eTax Documents service, you will be mailed a paper tax document. And, for any account or form that becomes supported, you will receive an email notifying you when your tax document is available to be accessed in Online Banking.
To use the Online Banking wires service, you must enroll in Enhanced Account Protection (1) if you are a business that does not use Dual Authorization, or (2) if you are a consumer. EAP is a free internal security tool for wire transfers and certain other types of Online Banking transactions. When your account is first enabled for wire transfers, you will be prompted to enroll in EAP the next time you login to Online Banking (unless you are a business with Dual Authorization).
Enrollment for eTax Documents only applies to the Tax ID or SSN associated to the online banking profile. To access online tax documents for the Tax ID of "linked" business or personal accounts, you must log in under those other customer profiles.
For example, if "Company A" has a Business Online Banking profile, and you have linked your personal accounts to Company A's Business Online Banking profile, you will only be able to access the tax documents for "Company A" and not any personal tax documents. Personal tax documents will continue to be sent via paper unless you enroll in eTax Documents through your personal Online Banking profile. Even after personal enrollment, personal eTax Documents will only be displayed in your personal Online Banking and not in Company A's Business Online Banking.
eTax Documents are available online for the previous 2 tax years.
To request a copy of an older statement, visit the "Services" tab in Online Banking or call customer service at (800) 400-6080.
No, there is not a fee to receive electronic tax documents online. Nor is there a fee to cancel your eTax Documents service or to request a paper copy of any particular tax document.

The Internal Revenue Service requires California Bank & Trust to provide tax documents to account holders who meet the reporting thresholds as dictated by the IRS. For example, clients with interest bearing checking accounts with an aggregate interest total lower than $10.00 do not receive a tax statement.

They include transactions from a set period of time (a statement cycle) and do not include any pending transactions.
A PIN (Personal Identification Number) is separate from a security code (SMS token). The PIN provides additional security by authenticating that you know personalized credentials when verifying transactions.

*Beginning July 2017, we are increasing the available history of Deposit Account Statements each month for the life of active accounts that remain enrolled in our online digital banking service. While we don’t anticipate modifying the Statement storage timeframe, should we need to decrease it in the future for any reason we will post a notice where your Statements are made available, and notify you by email at your last known email address, at least 90 days before the change. As a best practice, you may wish to periodically download copies of your Statements.
Select other accounts from the Transfers tab. Under the external Transfer accounts panel, your active and pending External Accounts will display. Your new External Account will show a status of In Progress while we send the small deposits to the External Account. After the small deposits have been processed by your other financial institution, the status will change to Verify. Click on the verify link to enter the small deposit amounts received in your External Account.
To resume receiving mailed paper copies of your Statements, Notices, and/or Tax Documents, please contact customer service by phone at (800) 400-6080 or send a message by selecting the Message Center from the Online Banking Services tab. Please note certain types of accounts charge a fee for paper statements, please see our Fee Schedule for additional details.
With Dual Auth turned on, selected types of requested transactions or activities won't be executed or take effect until a second user's credentials are used to approve the item. The second user must be designated as an "Approver."
For example, User A creates a transfer request between two accounts. User B (previously designated as an Approver) would then log into Online Banking, and go to the Transfer Center. The transfer created by User A would show as "Pending Add Approval". User B can then select that transfer request, and then either Approve or Deny the transfer request according to their business policies.
Click on other accounts under the Transfers Tab. Select the add My external account link to the right of the external Transfer accounts panel and follow the prompts. After you complete the online form, two small deposits and one withdrawal transaction will be sent to your External Account. You must verify the small deposits to confirm you are an authorized owner of that account.
Note: In order to add the External Account, you must be an owner of that account, know the account number and the account type (checking or savings), and verify that you can access the account. Please allow 1–2 business days for the two small deposits and withdrawal transaction to process at your other financial institution.
Your spouse is able to obtain information and make any decisions on your behalf regarding your joint accounts.
For individual accounts in your name only, your spouse will need a properly executed power of attorney from you. For full details about establishing a power of attorney, be sure to contact your military legal service office or your private attorney.
You must do three things:
California Bank & Trust will not open your safe deposit box or claim any right to the contents of your safe deposit box without a court order. This protection lasts throughout the term of your military service and for an additional 6 months after your military service ends.
California Bank & Trust will not charge insufficient funds fees or daily overdraft fees to your deposit accounts during your military service and for an additional 6 months after your military service ends.
If you obtained your mortgage before entering military service, California Bank & Trust may not foreclose on your home without first getting a court order. This SCRA protection covers you not only while you are on active duty but also for 12 months after your military service ends.
It is always a good idea to notify California Bank & Trust of your call to military service.
For a loan account to qualify for SCRA benefits and protections, including interest rate reduction and foreclosure protections, you must have opened the account before going on active duty. Loan accounts opened during the term of your military service are not eligible for SCRA benefits or protections.
During your military service, the Bank must obtain a court order before repossessing personal property securing non-mortgage related installment loans obtained before you entered military service. This protection ends when your military service ends. However, California Bank & Trust extends this protection to you for an additional 6 months after your military service ends.
California Bank & Trust makes every effort to ensure all eligible accounts are identified when you submit your request for SCRA benefits. If you find that one of your accounts is not receiving benefits, or if you have concerns about a specific account, please contact:
California Bank & Trust
SCRA Unit
Toll-free telephone: (844) 818-4952
Email: SCRAunit@zionsbancorp.com
SCRA benefits are available to:
California Bank & Trust has dedicated SCRA personnel who are happy to respond to questions you may have. Just call (866) 251-2816 or send an email request to SCRAunit@zionsbancorp.com.
Yes, payments are still required. Although the SCRA protects you from foreclosure, and repossession without a court order, California Bank & Trust may take any of these actions if a court considers it appropriate. Also, the Bank will continue to report any delinquent payments to the credit bureau. Any missed or late payments, even if during a covered active duty period, will affect your credit rating.
SCRA benefits and protections apply to debts that you incur individually or jointly with your spouse before you enter active duty military service. You may request an interest rate reduction for a credit card account only if you are a signer on the account or otherwise responsible for paying the account balance. If you and your spouse have a joint credit card account, SCRA benefits may apply.
Requests are generally declined for one or more of the following reasons:
An interest rate reduction on your home mortgage expires 12 months after you complete your military service. The interest rate reductions on all other eligible loans expire 6 months after you complete your military service.
You may have received this letter because California Bank & Trust was unable to verify your active duty status through a search on the Department of Defense (DOD) website or with the documentation you provided. To help us determine your eligibility for SCRA benefits and protections, we need a copy of active duty orders or a letter from your commanding officer on official letterhead that includes:
You must make timely and full payments on bank accounts receiving SCRA protections. If you fail to do that, the Bank is required to report to the credit reporting agencies that you are past due on those accounts.
To help protect your accounts or sensitive information when using Mobile or Online Banking, we recommend the following:
Wire transfer functionality can be found in Online Banking under the Payments tab. If this functionality is not enabled, you will see a Wire Application link under the Tab menu.
Once the bank has received your "Wire Application for Online Banking" form, allow three business days for processing. Once processing is completed, you will have access to the wires functionality within Online Banking. All online banking wires are subject to the terms and conditions attached to that Wire Application.
There is no limit to the number of wires you can make through Online Banking.
The default transfer limit is $50,000 per transaction, and $50,000 total per day, but you have the option to set lower limits. To do this, simply specify a lower limit when completing your "Wire Application for Online Banking." A new Wire Application is needed if you wish to change an existing limit.
You can transfer up to $50,000 per day through Online Banking. If you need to transfer more, you need to visit a branch location or call our Central Wires department at 1-877-588-0298 to complete the transaction.

Yes, as long as your mobile carrier offers internet service in the country you are visiting and you have already downloaded the app. All roaming, data access, and text charges from your mobile service provider will apply. The Mobile Banking application is only available to download within the U.S., using the U.S. version of the Apple, Google Play, and Amazon app stores.
Mobile banking helps promote security by hiding your full account number, timing out your session after inactivity, and using your existing online banking user ID and password, which only you know. Communication between your device and the bank use a 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Encryption.
The standard wire transfer fee that has been disclosed to you in connection with the deposit account you will be using will also apply to wires transfers made using Online Banking. (Note: lower fees or fee waivers applicable to certain accounts or relationships may not apply to wires originated through Online Banking.)

An existing agreement for sending wires by means other (e.g. calling Central Wires) will remain in place for those wires, but the Wire Agreement for Online Banking will govern any wires you send via online banking. To enable the wire functionality in Online Banking, you will need to download and complete the Wire Application for Online Banking. Then, submit by mail or take it to any of our convenient branch locations.
Sign in to the Mobile Banking app, go to "Settings/Quick Access," and slide the toggle button to turn on Passcode.

Enabling Touch ID for mobile banking will grant access and full mobile banking functionality to any person whose fingerprints are saved on your device. We strongly recommend against enabling Touch ID if anyone else has or might gain access to your device and its security password.
Immediately call California Bank & Trust Customer Service at or (888) 271-1265 to report the unauthorized transfer as soon as you discover or suspect the activity has occurred.
The agreements and rules that govern suspect or actual unauthorized transfers through Online Banking, such as deadlines to report unauthorized transactions, also apply to transfers made through Mobile Banking. Please see your Online Banking Agreement, your Deposit Account Agreement, or your account statements for further information. Also, see any agreements governing the specific affected account (e.g., credit card agreements). Where applicable, those agreement documents include information regarding special rights of consumers, such as rights pertaining to unauthorized transfers from consumer deposit accounts under Regulation E and/or consumer credit accounts under Regulation Z.
After you successfully submit your deposit, retain the check for 30 days and then securely destroy the check. This allows sufficient time in the event the check needs to be re-deposited.
SCRA is short for The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. This law protects your financial and legal affairs while you are on active duty military service. For example, SCRA requires your creditors to provide certain relief from debt that you incurred before entering active duty. It also suspends some legal actions against you if the action will interfere with your military service.
The interest rate cap protection is one of the major benefits of the SCRA. If you are eligible for SCRA benefits, the interest rate on debts you incurred prior to your military service will be reduced to 6% per year and the required payments will also be reduced to reflect this lower interest rate.

In May 2016, the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) proposed and Congress approved the gathering of certain beneficial owner information as part of explicit Customer Due Diligence (CDD) requirements under the BSA.
The rule applies to all types of legal entity business types registered by a state registering authority such as incorporations, limited liability companies, partnerships and others. A legal entity does not include natural persons, personal trusts, sole proprietorships and unincorporated associations.
The rule also does not apply to the following:
FinCEN asserts this change to CDD requirements will advance the purpose of the BSA as follows:
The mandatory compliance date for all FIs is May 11, 2018.
All new legal entity (commercial) customers and their beneficial owners.
The definition of “beneficial owner” has two components or “prongs” and can be applied on an either/or basis:
Note: FinCEN recognizes that FIs lack an ability to verify the status of an individual as a beneficial owner. As such, FIs are permitted to rely on customer representations and certification to determine the beneficial owners of a legal entity customer.
Existing Customer Requirements
No – this feature has no cost. However, certain products and features that may have costs or fees associated with them may require the use of Dual Auth or other security features such as Enhanced Account Protection.
No – an approver's credentials cannot be those of the person that created or modified the transaction. It's best to have at least two users designated as having approval authority.
The enrollment form is available on the internet for download and on the banks website for branches. The customer will receive an email notification that the service has been set up.
Companies can have as many approvers as desired. On a per transaction basis, we are supporting only the requirement for one approver per transaction at this time. We may support multiple approvers per transaction in the future.
A Company System Administrator (CSA) can grant or remove the Approver designation for any user within Online Banking, by accessing the Admin tab on the main menu. By clicking on the user name, the CSA can then check or uncheck the Approver flag as desired. If Dual Auth is also turned on for User Administration, any changes to a user profile must then be approved by a second CSA's credentials.
There is no dollar limit associated with dual authorization. Some features such as ACH and Online Wires may have dollar limits associated to them regardless of whether Dual Auth is used or not.
*Note – Dual Authorization is NOT available for Bill Pay transactions at this time.
Use of certain features may require use of Dual Auth or other security features such as Enhanced Account Protection. At this time, only enrollment in Online Wires requires the use of either one of these two security features.
Not at this time. Enrollment will be completed through online/paper forms. An evaluation of whether to add the options within the BET enrollment process will be made after we've developed some history with a wider use of the feature.
Users can set up Alerts inside Online Banking (Home/Alerts & Messages/Manage Account Alerts) so they will receive an email when a transaction requires approval or has expired without approval. When logging in to Online Banking, the Info Center on the My Bank page will display any pending approvals.
Yes. They would need to contact the bank or Customer Contact Center to have the feature disabled. The customer could also send a Secure Message inside Online Banking to request disabling of the Dual Auth feature. If they are enrolled in Online Wires, they would need to begin using Enhanced Account Protection instead.
Unfortunately, this can happen, and there is no warning advising the CSA that removal of the only other Approver would result in transactions that could not be approved and therefore would never get executed. The transactions would continue to show as requiring approval; this would alert the CSA that there are outstanding approvals. To remedy the situation, the CSA could give another user Approval status, or create a new user with Approval status; otherwise the CSA would need to contact the bank or the Customer Contact Center for assistance.
Initial enrollment will include identification of the Approvers; the operations team responsible for setting up the Dual Auth feature will advise the company by email that the service has been turned on.
For most types of approvals, an Approver does not have to be a CSA. However, companies that choose to use Dual Auth for User Entitlements must have at least two (2) CSA's, since any User Entitlement change must be executed by one CSA and then approved with a different CSA's credentials.
Both are internal security controls for your online banking activities.
Transactions can be created in Mobile Banking under services that use Dual Authorization, such as Internal Transfers, Transfers to a Friend, and External Transfers; however, approvals for those transactions would need to be made by an Approver logging into the Online Banking application. There is no support for transaction approval to be given through Mobile Banking at this time.
No. Dual Authorization can only be set up by feature (Internal Transfers, Transfers to a Friend, ACH Payroll, etc.) not by account.
Dual Authorization (Dual Auth) is an internal security tool that allows small business banking customers to require certain types of activities and transactions to have a second user's credentials approve a submitted transaction.
In Business Online Banking, only those users who have full entitlement to both view and transact in all accounts will be able to view eTax Documents in the business's Online Banking profile. Users with limited entitlements cannot view eTax Documents. Contact your Company System Administrator (CSA) to make user entitlement updates.
Our customers prefer using our lockbox as we handle their invoice collection paperwork and all the information is available online wherever/whenever they need to see it.
Factoring is working capital financing provided through the discounted purchase of qualified accounts receivable, typically offered to rapidly growing companies or businesses in financial transition. The factor purchases eligible invoices from a completed service or accepted product and essentially transfers the credit risk from the client to the client’s customer.
It certainly can be more expensive than traditional bank financing but for the additional flexibility, frequently it is a trade-off that many companies are willing to make. Plus, it is viewed as bridge financing, a 6-36-month solution on average.
Great, so you understand the product and basic process. Would you be interested in hearing how Amegy may be able to offer you a better structure and price with a bank managed factoring facility?
Much of our contact is transparent to the customer. We will need to have invoice payments sent to the Bank lockbox and notification is made to the customer, usually the AP department, regarding the payment redirect. We also verify a certain percentage of outstanding invoices. This can be done via portal, email, or phone call. Every situation is different. Plus, having a Bank managed working capital facility gives a business credibility with its customers.
If you have an existing line of credit and you are happy with the structure and line amount, you should not look at making a change.

For both the AmaZing Cash for Business and AmaZing Rewards for Business programs, Enhanced Earn rates will be awarded on Net Purchases in qualifying categories up to $150,000 combined spending per calendar year. For example, if you spend $100,000 in 3%/3x categories and $100,000 in 2%/2x categories, totaling $200,000, only the first $150,000 will qualify for the Enhanced Earn rates. The remaining $50,000 will earn the standard 1%/1x.
No. The process for redeeming Cash Back or Points will not change.

Anywhere Visa is accepted, including person-to-person platforms. You may also use it to pay bills and access cash at a merchant’s terminal or an ATM.
You can enroll online by logging into your regular Online Banking account, selecting Services > Apply Now > OnCard Prepaid Debit Card. You may also visit a branch location. You must have a deposit account (checking or savings) with us to qualify for the OnCard account.
If you do not yet have a checking or savings account, you may open one at a branch or online. If you apply online, you will need to wait until you receive email confirmation of your new checking or savings account before enrolling in OnCard.
OnCard enrollment requires that the primary cardholder have a checking or savings account with the bank. If you do not have a checking or savings account, you can apply online or at a branch before beginning your OnCard enrollment. If you apply online, you will need to wait until you receive email confirmation of your new checking or savings account before enrolling in OnCard. Instantly approved accounts will receive an email right away, whereas accounts requiring additional follow-up will take 1-2 business days.
OnCard works best if you utilize both the money-management app and the reloadable prepaid debit card together.
As a reloadable prepaid debit card, you load money to your card account and only the amount you load is available to access. You can add money to your OnCard over and over, making it an everyday payment tool. OnCard can be used to make purchases at a store, online, to pay bills, and to make person-to-person payments.
With the app, you turn your everyday payment tool into a money-management solution for budgeting and sharing money.
To budget, simply use your OnCard for all your everyday purchases. The app will establish a starting budget for you after 30 days. You can then plan the budget you want by adjusting budget categories. The app will help you track where you're within budget and where you're over. Trend reports are created to give you visibility month to month so you can continue to fine-tune and adjust your budget as desired.
To share money, you can add more OnCards to your account. You can add one Secondary, which has the same rights as the Primary, and up to 5 Dependent OnCard cardholders that have limited rights. The Primary and Secondary can transfer money to and from any of the Dependent OnCards. This capability is great for managing allowance, providing college students controlled access to money, or delegating purchases.
The app also offers the ability to set aside funds for later use. This allows you to plan for future expenses by reserving money in a separate, visible space within your OnCard account. Additionally, the app provides you card controls like lock, unlock and alert services.
To enroll in your own OnCard account, you must be 18 years old or older. Secondary cardholders must also be 18 or older. Additional cardholders—you may add up to five—must be 13 years old or older, and cardholders under 18 must be on a parent or legal custodian’s account.
Yes, especially if you’re interested in:
OnCard is a great solution for you if you are interested in:
Yes. The technology supporting OnCard is PCI (Payment Card Industry) compliant and uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) to secure any data transferred to and from pages where you submit or view personal information.
There is a one-time fee of $5 to enroll for OnCard. If you’d like to add additional cardholders to your account, there is a one-time fee of $3 per additional cardholder.
Your card typically arrives within 7-10 days.
We are required to collect this information to identify all cardholders in compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act, which helps minimize the risks associated with money laundering and terrorist funding.
OnCard is a powerful money-management app connected to a reloadable prepaid debit card that allows you to both budget and share money with family and friends.
You may activate your card by visiting the OnCard activation pages below, or within the OnCard mobile app by selecting Active/New User.
For California Bank and Trust
https://www.calbanktrust.com/oncard-activate
No, a credit check is not required to open an OnCard account. OnCard is a reloadable prepaid debit card and no credit check is performed.
To enroll in your own OnCard account, you must be at least 18 years old. You may add a Secondary cardholder that is also 18 or older. When adding up to five additional Dependent OnCards, cardholders must be age 13 or older. Dependent cardholders under 18 must be on an account where the Primary is their parent or legal custodian.
You can add a Secondary or Dependent cardholder any time by opening your OnCard app, then selecting: My Account/Add Additional OnCards. Additional cardholders do not require a checking or savings account.
All OnCards will be sent to the primary cardholder’s address on file. This includes additional cards such as a secondary or dependent card.
No. Because OnCard is a reloadable prepaid debit card, no credit check is required, and usage does not affect your credit rating.
There is a limit of one primary OnCard account per individual. Once you have your primary OnCard account, you may allow one secondary cardholder and up to five dependent OnCards within your account.
Although you may only have one primary OnCard account, you are allowed to be a secondary or dependent on up to 5 other accounts.
You can set up or update your PIN from within the OnCard app or website by selecting: Card Management > Change PIN. You can also change your PIN by phone by calling the phone number located on the back of your OnCard.
You can load cash to your OnCard at any branch location in our great family of banks. This includes: Amegy Bank, California Bank & Trust, National Bank of Arizona, Nevada State Bank, Vectra Bank, and Zions First National Bank. OnCard cannot be loaded at an ATM.
On the OnCard app or website, navigate to Add/Transfer Money > Load Card. There are two types of connections available, instant loads, and ACH loads. Instant load accounts are pre-loaded to your OnCard during enrollment for the Primary cardholder from eligible checking, savings and money market accounts. ACH account loads are available to all cardholders, and take 3-5 days to load. You may only have one ACH loading account set up at a time.
The trial deposits are valid for 45 days. After 45 days, or if you enter the amounts incorrectly 3 times, you will need to remove the funding account and start over.
Log into the OnCard app or website and select Add/Transfer Money > Direct Deposit. Your direct deposit information will include the routing number and account number, which you can then use in setting up your Direct Deposit.
You can transfer money by logging in to the OnCard app or website and selecting Add/Transfer Money > OnCard to OnCard Transfer.
You can also load funds directly to another OnCard by the same process used to load your own OnCard – just select their card when loading.
There are several ways to load your OnCard. You can transfer funds from your bank account, add cash at a branch location, direct deposit funds, or transfer funds from a third-party bank.
You can establish funding from another bank account by logging in to the OnCard app or website, selecting Add Money > Funding Accounts. After inputting the account information, two trial deposits will be sent to that account that you will need to verify. These trial deposits may take two to three days to show in your history. When you find them, return to the OnCard app or website and click Verify Funding Source. Enter the trial deposit amounts in the two fields provided (the order doesn’t matter). Once you’re finished, you’ll be able to load by clicking Load Card any time from the app or website. ACH transfers take 3-5 business days to be funded to your OnCard account. You may only have one ACH loading account set up at a time.
OnCard works with all person-to-person applications that support the VISA card network. Please refer to the specific application for possible restrictions.
No, there is no minimum balance requirement. However, if all OnCards within your account maintain a zero balance with no activity, the account may be subject to closure after a year.
Maximum monthly balance of all OnCards combined is $10,000.
Yes, you can use OnCard for PIN purchases.
When paying for certain kinds of transactions with your OnCard, the merchant accepting the card may request advance authorization of that transaction and may estimate the amount of the transaction. This is usually because the final purchase amount is not known at the time you present your card. For example:
An “Authorization Hold” is a temporary hold on the funds available on your card for the amount of that authorized transaction. An Authorization Hold generally will be released within 3 business days after the date we authorized that transaction. However, certain merchants—especially rental car companies, hotels, and others that authorize high dollar amounts—may cause an Authorization Hold to remain in effect for an extended period of time. You can see each Authorization Hold on the funds available on your card at any time by calling the number on the back of your card or logging in to the OnCard app or website. Certain transactions may be handled differently by different merchants. If you are unsure of a merchant's policy, it's best to ask before presenting your card.
Yes. If the merchant’s terminal accepts credit, select the credit option. You will be asked for your signature and will not be asked for your PIN. Please note that your card is still a prepaid debit card and can only be used for the funds available on your account. Selecting credit only changes the way the card processes. It does not change your card type, and therefore does not extend you credit.
Any refund for goods or services will be provided in the form of a credit to your OnCard. While most merchants settle these at night, this may vary depending on the merchant. Verify with the merchant when you should expect to see a credit. Typically, a credit from a return should reflect on your OnCard within a few business days.
Yes. You can use your OnCard the same way you would use any VISA® card for payments.
There is a daily maximum of $500 for ATM cash withdrawals. The maximum amount for cash back from merchants is $100 per transaction and $500 per day. The daily limit for over-the-counter cash is $100 per transaction and $300 per day. The daily limit for all transactions, including purchases at VISA® Merchants, is $3,000.
Yes. OnCard is a great tool for online purchases.

Knowing where to start can be the hardest step in budgeting. OnCard solves that issue. For the first month, simply use your OnCard for all your everyday purchases and the app will establish a budget based on your spend. Traditional budget tools use a template that assumes everyone spends the same way based solely on income.
After you've learned where you’re spending, you can plan the budget you want by adjusting category allotments to fit your needs.
The app will help you track where you're within budget and where you're over, so you’re more conscious about the spending choices you make.
Trend reports are created in the app that give you visibility month to month so you can continue to fine-tune and adjust your budget as desired.

The standard insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category. Some examples of FDIC-insured deposits include:
If your combined ZB, N.A. account balances exceed $250,000, there are several quick and easy ways to increase or maximize your insurance coverage.
Deposits maintained in different categories of legal ownership and meeting the FDIC's requirements are separately insured. So you can have more than $250,000 insurance coverage at ZB, N.A. through a combination of different categories of ownership. The most common categories of ownership are single accounts, joint accounts, and revocable trust accounts.
In addition to the FDIC insurance on your other deposits, each depositor is separately insured up to $250,000 for funds held in certain retirement accounts.
For example, FDIC deposit insurance could increase to $500,000 for funds in joint accounts for two depositors. Each of those depositors could also have up to $250,000 of deposit insurance for funds in each of their single accounts, and another $250,000 of deposit insurance for funds in each of their IRAs.
You can't increase FDIC insurance by dividing funds in the same ownership category among different accounts. The type of account—whether checking, savings, CD, or outstanding cashier's check or other form of deposit—has no bearing on the amount of insurance coverage. So, having $250,000 in both a single ownership savings account and a single ownership CD, doesn't result in more than $250,000 total insurance coverage.
The examples provided below are for demonstration purposes only and should not be relied upon as they may not directly apply to every account holder. Account holders should speak with a California Bank & Trust representative for additional information and may need to contact the FDIC (as the provider of the insurance) depending on the specific situation.

Accounts in the name of a living trust—often referred to as testamentary, payable on death or revocable trusts—are insured separately from any individual or jointly-owned funds of the owner(s). For the purposes of FDIC-insurance coverage, a beneficiary is defined as a living natural person, charity (valid under IRS rules), or non-profit organization (valid under IRS rules). Assuming all FDIC requirements are met, the funds are insured to $250,000 for each eligible beneficiary. See the following example.
