FAQ Categories

You can sign up online for Online & Mobile Banking. Visit our Online and Mobile page for full details.

How much does Online & Mobile Banking cost?

Eaton does not charge for the convenience of instant access to your account information.

How do I send sensitive information to the bank?

Since email is not a secure method of communication, please do not send any sensitive information (e.g. Social Security or account numbers) via email. If your request requires you to share sensitive information, you can:

  • Send a secure message from Business or Personal Online Banking. If you use Online Banking, you can send a secure message by clicking the "Secure Forms" tab and then clicking "Secure Email Form" from the submenu. (If you don't already have Online Banking, you can sign up online for instant access.)

How do I transfer money between my accounts?

Select the “Move Money” tab on your Online Banking Home Page. You can make a one-time transfer by selecting “Make A Transfer”. Designate the account funds are coming from and going into.

Transfers made on the Online Banking Home Page will display quickly in the My Accounts list and the Account History Page transactions list. This means that we will automatically refresh the page (to get new account balances) once a user closes the transfer success window.

What browser versions are certified for use with Eaton Online Banking?

Browsers that are officially certified include Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 8.0+ and 9.0+ as well as Firefox 4.0+. Browsers that are supported but not certified include Safari 5.0+ and Google Chrome. If you are using one of these or any other browsers and experience a problem, call Support at 517-213-7061 for more information.

Why do I have to keep entering a verification code to log in?

This appears to be an issue with Internet Explorer (IE) 9.0+ automatically deleting your cookies every time you shut down your computer. That's why you are not recognized the next time you try to log in to online banking and you have to enter the verification code again. To fix this just follow the steps below.

  • Within IE 9.0+, click the Tools icon on the upper right side (looks like a gear wheel).
  • Select Internet Options from the dropdown list.
  • In the Browsing history section, uncheck the 'Delete browsing history on exit' checkbox.
  • Click the Privacy tab.
    • Click the Advanced button.
    • Select the Override Automatic Cookie Handling checkbox.
    • Select First-party Cookies and Third-party Cookies radio buttons, if needed.
    • Select the Always Allow Session Cookies checkbox.
