Transfers FAQs

How do transfers work?

To use this feature, you must first set up an external account (the account that will receive money you transfer) using 'Transfer' from the menu. Setting up your external account is a one-time process. Once your external account has been verified, you can transfer money to and from your West Bank account with a few clicks. The one-time process to set up your external account is a three step verification process. During the verification process two small trial deposits will be made to your external account. You are then required to verify the amount of the test deposits to complete the external account set up.

  1. To set up your external account, go to Bill Pay in Online Banking. Next, go to Transfer Money and then Add an Account. Enter required Account information for the external account.
  2. Wait at least two business days before continuing on to the next step.
  3. Log in to Online Banking for your external account and locate the two trial deposits.
  4. Return to Bill Pay in West Bank Online Banking. Go to Transfer Money again and enter the amount of the trial deposits to verify the accounts.
