First, you will need to fill out and print the Online Banking Application. Then you need to visit your Customer Service Representative at the Bank o f Brodhead to set up access to Online Banking.
You will also need Internet access using Internet Explorer

encryption.
For best results, your screen resolution should be set to 800 x 600 Resolution.

The server that stores your Bank of Brodhead account information
uses Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL). This security encrypts the data sent
making it difficult to see your information. In other words, your information is
sent in a scrambled format. To ensure that the information is being sent from a
secure server, the address will start with https:// rather than http:// and you will
notice that you are receiving the information from an SSL server securely if you see a
closed padlock at the bottom of your screen like this:
Using 128-bit encryption technology scrambling your information, it would take a computer
dedicated to doing nothing else many years to unscramble. We require
that Internet Explorer browsers use the 128-bit high encryption pack option for the strongest
security available.

Online Banking requires that your computer's browser
utilize 128-bit encryption for your security, and the connection will be
automatic within the United States. However, the connection will not be
automatic outside of the U.S.; Internet Explorer will need the 128-bit high encryption pack option for the strongest
security available.
The security feature for Online Banking ensures that you are the only one
who knows your password. Online Banking will consider you a "First Time User" until
you go through the process of changing your password at least once. If
you have an old bookmark or "favorites" link to
access Online Banking, you will need to update your Online Banking link. Enter through the "" button on Homepage .
Your Access ID is case sensitive. If
you used any capital letters in setting up your Access ID, you must capitalize those same
letters every time you enter your Access ID. If you are entering the right
Access ID and Password and you're still not able to access Online Banking, check if your Caps Lock
button is activated.

Welcome! Once you're logged in to your accounts, there isn't
any right or wrong thing to do first. The "Password" button makes
it very easy to change your password, and we encourage you to make a habit of changing it
often for your own security.
Once you are logged in, the screen will display "My Accounts"
with a listing of your accounts. You can view each of them in more detail by clicking on the
corresponding account number. Clicking on
an account number will bring the "Balances" screen. Just click on the other available buttons to see the
different types of information now available to you.

"Current Business Day" transactions are pending
transactions. Deposits made at Bank of Brodhead, ACH, debit card,
and ATM card transactions
make up the majority of these entries.
It is important to note that these transactions reflect certain types of
account activity and, may or may not, be posted to your account at the end
of the business day. For example, if you purchase an item from a
merchant using your debit card, a verification
transaction is sent to your account to see if you
have enough money for the purchase. This verification appears
as a pending transaction until the end of the business day. Another
transaction is sent to your account when the merchant processes the actual
purchase. In some cases, the verification and the actual transaction
will appear as pending transactions on the same day.
Only one of these will post to your account.
Furthermore, merchants are not consistent in the way they send verification
transactions to your accounts. Some will verify for the exact dollar
amount of the purchase while others will round up to
the nearest dollar or five-dollar increment. Some
restaurants, for example, will add 15% to the verification amount to cover an
expected tip. This amount is for verification only
and should not be written down in your ledger as the actual
transaction amount.

When you write out checks that are cashed by others
who do not bank with Bank of Brodhead, the total amount of those checks will appear in a group
as "Memo Posted Debits". As Bank of Brodhead pays them, they will appear under
your "Current Statement" as individual checks and their corresponding amounts.
Transactions that we receive, but have not been run
through the bank yet, are listed in a group as "Memo Posted
Debits". This is found in the "Current Business Day" section of the
transaction menu. This is the most up-to-the-second balance of your account.

You can rest assured when
you receive a Confirmation Number that your "One Time Transfer"
occurred. We recommend that you print the page with your Confirmation Number on
it. (Write down the Confirmation Number and transfer information if printing is not
possible.) If you have any questions about this transaction, we will need this
Confirmation Number in order to help you.
You will be able to view the transfers by choosing the
"Transactions" button for each of the saving or deposit accounts and looking at
the "Current Business Day". A transfer made from a deposit account will
appear immediately, however the payment made to a loan account will appear only after the nightly bank processing update.
The details
of your transfers that were set up using the "New Scheduled Transfer" button
will appear by choosing the "Transfer" button under the account the transfer
will be coming from.

One time transfers are "real
time" meaning once you submit your transfer request, it affects the balance. To
"undo" the transfer, you have to reverse the transfer. That is, to
"reverse" a transfer you just made of $100.00 from your checking account to your
savings account, you would now need to transfer the same amount of $100.00 from your
savings account back to your checking account. (Note the banking regulations for Savings and Money Market Accounts allow for a maximum of six (6) electronic transfers each month.)

are not
"real time", that is, they go into effect during the nightly banking update. So,
if a transfer is scheduled for the current business day, you can still change it before
the update. Turning the scheduled number to zero will cancel any transfer.
View your scheduled transfers to be held in the future on
each account using the "Transfer" button. To modify a transfer, click on
the link to the account you wish to change. It will open the transfer details you
had set up. To cancel the scheduled transfer, change the remaining transfers to
zero, or make other changes you wish. Choose "Update Transfer
Information".

Your password allows you access to the accounts which you are
an owner or signer. If you are not able to view an account which you believe you
should be able to see, contact Bank of Brodhead's Customer Service Department at 608-897-2121 during regular business hours for assistance. If you are not an owner or signer on an account, you will not be given access to that account.
If you are not an owner or signer on an account, you will not
be given access to that account. For example, if your spouse holds an account in his
or her own name, you will not be able to view it in your household accounts.

First select the account you wish to export the information from.

You will be
able to select the format that your financial software accepts: Comma Separated File
(.CSV), or
Microsoft Money (OFX). When
you are using your financial software, Excel or Microsoft Money, for example, you can
use their import function to bring in the Online Banking information file that was exported.
