MAIN NAVIGATION TABS

 The Account Access tab and Account Summary link take you to the main page of Online Banking. (The Account Access and Account Summary links take you to the same page.) From here you have access to all of Online Banking's features. Use the Account Access or Account Summary link to "escape" to the main page if you become confused while working within Online Banking.

The Account Access/Account Summary page shows up-to-the-minute balance information on your deposit, loan, and investment accounts. To view detailed account activity, including deposits, withdrawals and transfers, simply click on the corresponding account title. From here you may choose to view additional account history (current maximum is approximately 1 year) or export your transactions to your favorite money management software.

 In your checking account history, click on the check number to see front and back images of the cleared check.  If the description of the check includes "W/D DRAFT" this check was electronically converted and the images will not be available.

You will find a Quick Transfer option at the bottom of this page. Note you may not initiate Quick Transfers to Cross Member Transfer accounts (see Secure Forms).

Note on Federal Regulation D: "Reg D" limits the number of electronic transfers you may make from a savings account during a calendar month to six. This applies to Scheduled & Recurring Transfers set up in Online Banking, telephone transactions, and transactions requested through Secure Support. Loan payments, including payments to your Visa Credit Card, are not counted. There is no limit on the number of electronic transfers you may make from your checking account.


 The Account Transfer feature allows you to make current, one-time transfers between your accounts and loans. It also allows you to make Principal Only payments to your Star One loans (excludes Visa & HELOC payments). To make a transfer, click in the "Transfer Amount" text box and enter the desire dollar amount. Next, click on the "FROM Account" box. You will be presented with a drop down menu showing all of your eligible accounts, along with the current balance** in each account. Select the account from which you wish to transfer the funds (also known as the Source Account). Repeat the same procedure for the "TO Account" (Destination Account). Select the type of payment and then click on the "Transfer Funds" link. Alternatively, you may clear all fields and put in new information or simply go to another screen without clicking on the "Transfer Funds" link.  Confirm.  At this time you may still cancel the transfer by clicking on the "Cancel" link.

Your transfer will take place immediately provided there are no holds on your accounts and the funds are available for transfer. If you are making the transfers outside of normal business hours, the transfer will be posted using the next business date. A transaction results page will appear after the transfer is processed. This page displays the post date, the previous and new balances in both accounts, and a transaction reference number. We recommend that you print this page for your records.

 The Scheduled Transfer function allows you to set up transfers among your Star One accounts and loans to take place at particular times in the future. You may choose to initiate a one-time transfer or a series of transfers.  It also allows you to make Principal Only payments to your Star One loans (excludes Visa & HELOC payments).

To schedule a transfer, click on the "Schedule Transfers" link. Next, click on the "Add" button and choose your criteria. The "transfer memo" will appear in your e-mail message. The e-mail message that you complete is sent to any e-mail address of your choice. To enter more than one e-mail address, separate with a semicolon. Be sure to complete the e-mail message with relevant information (maximum 34 lines). Click on "Save Transfer" to complete setting up your new transfer. You may also have the system send you a reminder e-mail when the final transfer has been made.

To edit or delete your transfer, just click on the corresponding link under "Action" on the "Schedule Transfers" page.

Please note: 

  • Scheduled Transfers take place early in the morning, followed by our ACH posting.  If you want to transfer funds on the same date as you plan to receive them via ACH, we suggest you schedule the transfer for the following day.   
  • Current "Fifth-of-the-Month Transfers" will not be affected by scheduling a new transfer. Please contact us at (408) 543-5202 or (866) 543-5202 if you would like to delete your current "Fifth-of-the-Month Transfer." Then go into Online Banking and set up your own on any day and for any time frame you choose.

If you currently have automatic transfers set up to make payments on a loan or Visa card, contact us at (408) 543-5202 or (866) 543-5202 if you would like to make a change.

If you have a payroll deduction to post funds to a loan account each pay period, that information will not be editable in the Online Banking system (the table that will display all of your scheduled transfers). If you schedule a transfer to a loan after the payroll transfer to that loan occurs, you will double post the payment. If this occurs, please call us at (866) 543-5202 or (408) 543-5202 if you wish to have the accounts adjusted.

Tip: Use the Notifications feature to track your account balances in an effort to quickly discover possible fraudulent activity on your account. You can set up notifications for loans as well. An example is to set up your Visa Account to send a notification when your balance reaches a certain level in order to track usage.

 Our Export facility allows you to export your account information into either a QFX, QBO, CSV, OFX, and other formats. These formats are compatible with the Intuit's Quicken˜ & QuickBooks, and other personal financial management (PFM) software packages respectively, as well as MS Excel.
