Go Mobile!

Parkside now offers both Mobile and Text Banking so you can access your account anytime, anywhere, right from the palm of your hand - how convenient is that?

 
Mobile vs. Text – What’s the difference?

Mobile Banking is meant for use on a smartphone or tablet. This mobile site is simply our online banking page reformatted for easier viewing on mobile devices. Our mobile site allows you to transfer money, view balances and see transaction history for all of your Parkside accounts.

Text Banking is available on any mobile phone with the ability to send and receive text messages. This service allows you to send text commands to receive the balances of your Parkside accounts through a text message reply. Text banking also allows you to set up one-way text alerts; for example, you can set up a notification to alert you when an ACH deposit or withdrawal hits your account.

How to sign up:

It’s easy! To use Mobile Banking, just grab your smartphone and open your web browser. Type in www.parksidecu.org and proceed to login as you would for online banking.

To enroll for Text Banking, login to online banking and click on the button “Go Mobile”, located on the It’s Me 247 toolbar. Next, select “Text Banking Home” to access the enrollment screens.
