IMPORTANT NOTICE
At The First National Bank of Elmer we value our customers. We know that many of our customers appreciate the convenience and flexibility of using a Debit Card when making purchases. We are also taking steps to implement additional security to protect our customers and the Bank from debit card fraud. If a signature required transaction is attempted and meets the restricted threshold limits that are set, your transaction will be denied.
An automated notification attempt will be made to contact our cardholders at each of the numbers provided to us (up to 3 phone numbers). The automated notification makes 2 attempts to each number in 2 hour increments, each day for 2 days, between the hours of 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM EST. The automated notification will leave only 1 message and 1 contact number. When the automated notification contacts the cardholder, the cardholder verifies recent activity, accepts or refused the transaction or opts to speak with an analyst. You as a cardholder will be asked to verify your zip code that is on file.
It’s IMPORTANT that the Bank maintain current and accurate cardholder records. The Bank must have a valid primary phone number (example: mobile/cell phone) to contact our cardholders for verification of a transaction denied. You can provide up to 3 phone numbers. Should we need to contact you via letter, we need an updated and current address.
If you do not know or remember your PIN number, please contact us to have a PIN Mailer generated and mailed to you. Please note that it is IMPORTANT, to protect your account, your PIN should never be given to anyone and should not be written on your card or kept with your card.

Do I need to endorse the back of my check before I take the picture?
Before making a deposit, you must endorse the back of the check as “For Mobile Deposit Only to The First National Bank of Elmer” along with your signature.
Do you have suggestions for taking good photos?
Photograph the check in a well-lit area. Lay the check on a flat surface and remove all other objects from view. Position your camera directly above the check and make sure all four corners of the check are visible within the frame. If you are unable to get a clear image of the check, please bring it to your nearest branch for processing.
When will I see the deposit in my account?
Mobile Deposit can be utilized 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except when our system is unavailable due to needed maintenance or system outages. Deposit information captured, submitted, and accepted on a business day prior to 4:00 pm EST will be considered for deposit on the same day. Deposits captured after 4:00 pm EST, or on a Saturday, Sunday, or federal holiday, may be considered for deposit on the next business day. We will make funds available for checks received, accepted, and successfully processed through Mobile Deposit as follows:
- $225.00 will be available on the first business day after the day of the deposit
- The remainder will be available on the second business day after the day of the deposit
What do I do if I’ve endorsed the item with “For Mobile Deposit Only” and the deposit will not process?
If your deposit cannot be successfully completed, please take the check to your local branch and let them know you were not able to deposit the item through Mobile Deposit. They will be happy to assist you.
What do I do with the check after it has been deposited?
Securely store the original check for at least 30 days after you have transmitted the image. Do not bring the check into the bank after you have successfully submitted the deposit unless it has been requested by the bank for verification purposes. By using Mobile Deposit, you agree that you will never re-present the original check.
How will I know if there is a problem with my mobile deposit?
There are several ways you may be notified if there is a problem with your mobile deposit. You may be alerted on your device after you hit submit. The message you receive will describe the problem. You may also be alerted via email or phone if an issue has been detected prior to the deposit being credited to your account.
