Mobile Banking FAQs

Q. What is Mobile Banking?
A. Mobile Banking is a free, convenient and secure way to access your KS StateBank accounts from your mobile phone or device using the KS StateBank Mobile Banking app. Mobile Banking allows you to access your Online Banking account, using your preexisting credentials (i.e. User ID and Password). You can check balances, transfer funds between your accounts, pay bills, review E-Statements, make check deposits and monitor your transaction history.


Q. How is Mobile Banking different than Online Banking?
A. Mobile Banking gives you access to your accounts when you are on the go. It offers the basic features of Online Banking, in a format that is designed to be easy to view, and easy to use, from the KS StateBank Mobile Banking app on your mobile phone or device.


Q. Is there a fee to use Mobile Banking?
A. No. There is no fee to use Mobile Banking with KS StateBank. You may, however, incur normal data usage charges from your wireless carrier on your mobile device. Contact your carrier for details on related rates or charges.

In some cases, the first in a series of recurring payments may fail because it is seen as a one-time payment. The card will need to be unlocked to perform the transaction. Some local businesses may not currently send recurrence information with automated debits. SecureSwipe users are reminded to check their accounts frequently to ensure all bills are paid on time and, if not, to make different payment arrangements for those merchants.
