•  Can I use the mobile banking without using online banking?

A:   Your initial registration for County MoGO mobile banking must begin with registering for our Online Banking. Once you have registered with our Online Banking and downloaded County MoGO to your mobile device, you then utilize the same username and password for registration and utilization of the County MOGO Mobile Banking application. You do not need to be a regular user of Online Banking for the continued use of County MoGO.

•  Why do I need another PIN for my mobile app?

A:   If you get a new phone, clear the history on your current phone, or return your phone to factory settings you will require a new PIN to register your device with our service provider.  It will be sent to the e-mail address on file and is good for 48 hours from the time of issue. Step 3 in registering your device will be to enter the temporary verification PIN and this will allow you back into the mobile app. Once your device is registered initially you will no longer need to have the PIN.

•  What happens to my County MoGO Mobile Banking if I get a new phone?

A.  Once you download the County MoGO app on the new device you will need to attempt to log in with your Username and Password.  This will prompt the system to send a verification PIN to the e-mail we have on file.  Go back to the app and enter the username, password and step 3 will be to enter the temporary verification PIN and this will allow you back into the mobile app.

•  Are there daily limits on my Debit Cards and if so, what are they?

A:  Yes, for security reasons, there are daily limits on Debit Cards. For our Savings Accounts: Daily swipes are limited to $300.00 in a 24-hour period and the ATM has a $500.00 limit in a 24-hour period. For our Checking Accounts: Daily swipes are limited to $3000.00 in a 24-hour period and the ATM has a $500.00 limit in a 24-hour period. Tip: These limits are per card. So, if someone has more than one card on an account, each card has its own limit.

•  How can I change the PIN on my Debit Card?

A:  Yes, it is a simple process, Call 1-866-665-8721 anytime and just follow the prompts. You will be asked a series of security questions for verification.

•  I made a purchase with my debit card and the money came out of my account then it went back in… Why?

A:  Not all merchants process debit card purchases real-time.  When you swipe your card the funds go on a pre-authorized “hold” for 24 hours.  If the merchant doesn’t remove those funds within that time frame, the pre-authorization expires and the funds go back into your available balance. PLEASE NOTE: Those funds are earmarked for that purchase even though your balance shows otherwise and should be treated as you would an outstanding check or purchase.
