How do I register a computer or mobile device?

A conventional authentication system relies on two forms of identification to prove your identity: your Log In ID and your password. Two-Factor Authentication uses two forms of identification to make it harder for attackers to access your account.

The two forms of identification are text and email. In Online Banking, we send a Secure Access Code to a contact email address that you configure. The code is only valid for a single use and it expires after a short time. You choose one of the following ways to deliver the code.

1. Text (SMS)

The system sends a text message with the code. Standard text messaging fees apply.

2. Email

The system sends a short email with the code. Depending on the configuration of the filters on your mail server, the message may be in your junk or spam mailbox.

3. Authentication App

The system uses an authentication app on your phone such as Google Authenticator. Follow the prompts on screen and in your app to complete setup.

If you have never used a particular computer browser or device to log in, you may need to enter a Secure Access Code to use it for the first time. If the browser or device is one that you plan to use again, you can register it.

By registering a computer browser or a device, you confirm that it is under your control and that you intend to use it to access online banking.

TIP: Multiple users can register the same computer browser or device.

You register your computer browser or device again in the following circumstances:

• You use a different computer browser on your desktop or laptop
• Your computer browser does not save computer browser cookies
• You clear existing computer browser cookies
• We reset registration for all users for security reasons

WARNING: Only register a computer browser or device if it is under your control. Do not register a computer browser on a public computer.

What if I forgot my Username or Password?

If you forget your username or password and your account is not locked, you can use the Forgot Your Username or Password option to reset. Depending on the configuration, you may not be able to reset your username or password from an unregistered browser.

To reset a forgotten username or password:

  1. From the Mobile app or from the EvergreenBankGroup.com Log In, click or tap Forgot your Username or Password.
  2. Enter your email address associated with your account and click or tap Reset My Password. An email is sent to the email address provided containing the Username and instructions for setting a new password.
  3. On the New Password page, do the following:
    1. Enter your new password in the New Password field.
    2. Re-enter the password in the Confirm Password field.
    3. Click or tap Change my Password.
  4. Your password is now updated. Click or tap Log In.

@ At symbol

How do I transfer money from an external account?

How do I link an external account in online banking?

  • In the upper right-hand corner of the page, click your name. Choose “Settings”. Under Accounts, click on “Link an External Account”. Choose either “Instant Verification” or “Manual Verification” based on your preference. Follow onscreen instructions to complete the process.

How do I transfer money from an external account to my Evergreen Bank Group account?

  • First link an external account to your Evergreen Bank Group account. You will then see your external account listed as an available option to transfer funds to or from your Evergreen Bank Group account in the Transfer & Pay section in online banking.

How long does it take for my funds to arrive from an external account?

  • External transfers generally post to your Evergreen Bank Group account within two business days.

I've linked my external account via "Manual Verification." Where do I verify the microdeposits?

Manual Verification is a process that verifies ownership of your external account via two microdeposit transactions that should arrive in your external account within 1-3 business days.

Check your external account for these deposits and once they appear, you will need the two deposit amounts for the next step. (Note: there will also be a debit to your account that totals the two deposits, which is how we offset the deposits. You do not need to remember this debit amount.)

Next, enter the two deposit amounts by signing into your Evergreen Bank Group Online Banking account at online.EvergreenBankGroup.com. In the upper right-hand corner, click your name, choose 'Settings' and go to 'Accounts' where you will find a green 'Verify' button next to the external account you linked. This is where you enter the two small deposit amounts. Click 'Confirm and activate account.' 

Will I receive a confirmation or reference number for the loan payment I made online?

No, you will not receive a confirmation or reference number for loan payments made online, but you will receive a confirmation email which you can use as a confirmation. There is not a confirmation or reference number generated because we use the payment date, dollar amount and your account number to retrieve and confirm the details of transfers/payments. This makes a separate confirmation or reference number unnecessary.
