Browsers that are supported but not certified include IE 9.0+, Safari 5.0+ and Google Chrome.

If you are using one of these or any other browsers and experience a problem, please use the "Make a Suggestion" link at the top or bottom of the page to tell us about the problem. You may notice an announcement just below the top menu that encourages you to upgrade to the latest browser. Doing so will enhance the speed and functionality of the new online banking pages.

How do I access Online Banking?

What happens if I forget or lose my password?

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 your shut down your computer. Thus, 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 try following the steps below:

  1. Within IE 9.0+, click the Tools icon on the upper right side (looks like a gear wheel).

  2. Select Internet Options from the dropdown list

  3. In the Browsing history section, uncheck the 'Delete browsing history on exit' checkbox

  4. Click the Privacy tab

  5. Click the "Advanced" button

  6. Select the "Override Automatic Cookie Handling" checkbox

  7. Select 'First-party Cookies' and 'Third-party Cookies' radio buttons, if needed

  8. Select the "Always Allow Session Cookies" checkbox

  9. Click the OK button.

Can I transfer money from my Hyperion Bank account to another account at another financial institution, or transfer money from the external account to my Hyperion Bank account?

Yes. First, click the Move Money tab then Add External Transfer Account link on the Transfers page and fill out the information on the page. Hyperion Bank will review and approve the account for external transfers.

Can I change my Access ID?

Yes. Your Access ID can be changed after your initial login by clicking on My Profile.

What is Online Bill Payment?

A service that allows you to set up payments online to just about anyone. You select the person or company to make a payment to and the payments system will withdraw the money from your account and send the payee a paper check or an electronic payment. You can schedule a one-time payment in advance, or set up payments to reoccur automatically.

Who can use the service?

Anyone who uses this Internet banking site. To activate the payments service for your account, please contact Hyperion Bank.

How are payments made?

The Bill Pay Provider (a third-party vendor) makes the payment for you and the amount is automatically deducted from your account. Depending on the payee, payments are sent as paper checks or electronic payments. All you need to do is to set up a list of payees to whom you want to make payments. A payee can be any company, service, or individual, which you need to add to the system only once.

After you set up your payees list, you schedule your payments. Payments can be one-time only or recurring. Recurring payments are automatically rescheduled on the date you specify.

How far in advance must I schedule payments?

We recommend that you schedule your payment a minimum of four (4) business days before the actual bill due date to allow time for electronic processing, or for mailing if a paper check is sent. The Online Bill Pay system determines whether a payment is sent electronically or by check, based on whether the payee accepts electronic payments and other guidelines.

Note: Remember that the payee might not post the payment immediately, so please check with them.

How do I know if the company or person received my payment?

Look for the payment to move from the Pending Payments section to the Recent Payments section. You can see a list of pending and recent payments for a particular payee in the Payment Assistant.

You can see a list of pending and recent payments for all payees in the Payment Center.

If the payment was processed normally, you see the amount of the payment. If you canceled the payment, or if it failed during processing, you see the status of the payment.

You can also check the status of the payment in Bill History. If the status is Paid, the payment has been sent to the payee. In some cases, you may see the date when the payee posted the payment to your account.

When you set up your bill reminders, you can select an option to receive an e-mail message when the payment is sent. The message contains any posting information that the payee sends us. If you want to confirm that the payment has been posted to your account, contact the payee. It can take a few days for the payee's payment system to show the credit to your account.

Can I change a payment?

Yes. If the payment has not started processing, you can change the:

  • Account from which to make the payment.

  • Date you want the payee to receive the payment.

  • Amount of the payment.

Changing the Payee: If you made a payment to the wrong payee, you can cancel the incorrect payment and make another one to the correct payee

Who can I make payments to?

Anyone in the U.S., if you have their mailing address. We have many companies already on our national database, but you may add anyone to the payee database as long as you supply the mailing address.

However, we do not recommend using the service to make tax payments, because your payment would arrive without your tax return forms, making it much more difficult to process. In addition, the Internal Revenue Service (as well as most other government agencies and state taxation authorities) will not cooperate with a third party vendor in cases of discrepancy or other disputes.

Which bills can't I pay with Online Bill Pay?

You cannot use Online Bill Pay to pay any company or person with an address outside the United States or its territories.

What are Automatic Payments?

An Automatic Payment can be set to make a recurring payment for the same amount on a particular schedule (for example, your mortgage payment), or can be set to automatically pay any E-bill. The Online Bill Pay system can automatically pay an E-bill regardless of the payment amount, or you can choose to set a limit on the amount automatically paid. For example, you can have the system pay bills under $100, but for bills over $100, you will receive a message that the minimum amount due on your bill exceeds your maximum limit. In this case, schedule the bill on the Payment Center page.

I see the message: "Pay all your bills in just minutes when you add Bill Pay to your Internet Banking service. Simplify bill paying in one easy step." What does it mean?

It means if you haven't already, you should sign up for Bill Pay. If you requested the service more than a few days ago and have not received a response, contact our customer service team for personal assistance.

How do I register?

Go to Add/View Account Services on the User Services tab. There may be a fee for the service.

How long does it take to start up the service?

It generally takes a few business days. You will receive notification when you can use Online Bill Pay.
