How to Use the Central Bank Home Screen Widget

What is a Widget

Widgets are tiles you can add to your smartphone home screen that are bigger than a regular app icon and have additional functionality. The Central Bank Widget includes shortcuts directly to popular features within the Mobile Banking App. Once you authenticate, the app will open directly to a particular section of the app.

Quickly Access These Features

On the widget, tapping the Central Bank logo will launch the app, and tapping the shortcut icons will open the app directly to that section after authentication.

Quickly access these features from the widget:

• Transfer

  - Create a transfer between any of your accounts, set up a recurring transfer, view activity, and access external transfer accounts.

• Zelle®

  - Quickly and easily send money to friends and family! You can also view activity and manage your settings with this shortcut.

• Deposit

  - Make a deposit with just a touch – simply choose what account to deposit funds to, enter the amount, and take photos of the front and back of the check.

• Cards

  - Quickly manage your cards! Lock and unlock cards, set travel notifications, change your PIN, manage alerts, and Report Card Lost/Stolen directly from the app.
