What the user sees:

Setting it up: Before an external 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 exact 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 the link in Information box. Information icon
