        1. What is the difference between Card Controls and Automated Fraud Monitoring?

          Both Card Controls and Automated Fraud Monitoring help to protect you from fraudulent activity on your debit card and account.

          Card Controls give you direct control within Online Banking or the Mobile App. You are able to select the types of alerts you want to receive, set spending limits, decline transactions and more.

          Automated Fraud Monitoring is a service Old National debit card holders are automatically enrolled in. If we ever suspect that your card is being used by someone other than you, we’ll send you a real-time text alert, email or phone call and ask for your confirmation. Based on your response, we can immediately shut down your card if necessary. If you prefer, you can opt out of Automated Fraud Monitoring alerts.

          Both Card Controls and Automated Fraud Monitoring are free services, and together they provide a double layer of protection for your account and debit card.

        3. How do I enroll in Zelle®?

          You can send, request or receive money with Zelle®.

          To start using Zelle® at Old National, you must be enrolled in Online or Mobile Banking.

          Once enrolled, login and locate Send Money with Zelle® in the Mobile App Payment Center or the Move Money tab in Online Banking. From there, complete a brief one-time enrollment to tell us which email address or U.S. mobile number and deposit account you would like to use to send and receive money with Zelle®.

        4. How do I improve my credit score?

          Regular, timely payments on your bills are the best way to improve your credit score. These payments won’t necessarily immediately give you a boost—the credit scoring agencies want to see that you can consistently make regular payments over several years. Over the long run, however, on-time, in-full payments are the most reliable way to achieve a higher credit score. 

          You may see a faster boost to your credit score by reducing your credit utilization ratio. This means the amount of money you owe, compared to the amount you’re allowed to borrow. For example, if your credit card limit is $2,000 and you regularly spend nearly that amount per billing cycle, your credit score will likely be lower than if you have a credit limit of $20,000 and you regularly spend nearly $2,000 per billing cycle. In each case, you’re spending the same amount, but in the second example you’re using less of your available credit—that’s something credit scoring agencies like to see.

          In cases like this, a simple step like requesting an increased line of credit on your credit card (but not spending more), or like regularly paying half your credit card bill in the middle of the billing cycle, could boost your score relatively quickly.

          Other things that impact your credit score: how long you’ve had credit (the longer the better, particularly if you’ve had most of your accounts a long time), how many recent credit inquiries you’ve had on your account (the fewer, the better) and the total amount you still owe (the lower the better). 

        5. How do I order checks?

          There are several ways to order checks:

          • Order directly from our check order company, Harland Clarke, by calling them at 1-800-355-8123 or visiting www.OrderMyChecks.com. Be sure to have your routing and account number on hand. Note that Harland Clarke cannot update your address. If your address has changed, you must submit it through Old National before ordering checks.
          • Log into Online Banking. Go to Additional Services and then select Check Reorder.
          • You may visit any Old National banking center or call Client Care at 1-800-731-2265 and an associate can assist you with a check order.

          If you are a former First Midwest Bank client, you are welcome to continue using your First Midwest Bank checks until you run out; they will be accepted for at least two years.

        6. Why am I being asked to verify my identity when logging in to Digital Banking?

          If our Digital Banking does not recognize the device you are using to log in, you are asked to verify your identity for the security of your account. There are several common reasons that this happens such as:

          • You recently cleared your browser's cookies
          • You are using a different browser from the one you used previously
          • You knowingly or unknowingly asked to not skip this extra security step
          • You are using your browser in private or incognito mode

          After you complete the verification steps of receiving a code by phone call, text message or email, and you enter it to confirm your identity, you can choose Yes, register my private device to avoid repeating the verification process each time.

          If you have questions about verification, please call Old National Client Care at 1-800-731-2265.

        7. Why is my request for Digital Banking access showing as declined or pending?

          When you complete the Digital Banking enrollment process, we must verify the information you provide in order to prevent any unauthorized access to your account. The security of client information is one of our highest priorities. If your request for Digital Banking has been declined, it most likely means we were not able to successfully verify the information you provided during the enrollment process. A pending status most likely means we are working to verify your information. We will email you to notify you when your Digital Banking enrollment request is approved or declined.

          If you have questions or concerns about your Digital Banking enrollment, please call Client Care at 1-800-731-2265, and one of our associates would be happy to assist you.

        8. What should I do if I forgot my User ID or Password for Digital Banking?

          Your user ID and Password for Digital Banking and the Mobile App are the same. If you have forgotten your User ID and Password, you can do one of the following:

          • On a computer or other device, go to the home page. Go to the blue Login box on the upper right side of the page. Click on Forgot User ID or Password. You will be asked to provide information to receive a temporary  password or click I forgot my user id.
          • If you are using the Mobile App, on the Login screen, tap Forgot Login. Enter the requested information to receive a temporary password or tap I forgot my user id.
          • If, after trying the above, you are not able to retrieve or reset your password, please call Client Care at 1-800-731-2265, Option 3, for login assistance.

          Please note, when requesting or resetting your User ID or Password, you will be asked to enter your email or phone number. For security purposes, the email or phone number must match the email or phone number you have provided for your account. Additionally, resetting your User ID or Password disables your biometrics. To enable, within your app navigate to "More" and access your settings.

        9. What should I do if I think someone has gained unauthorized access to my Digital Banking?

          Please contact us as soon as possible by calling Client Care at 1-800-731-2265, Option 3, to report any suspicious activity on your account.

          If you believe someone has gained unauthorized access to your Digital Banking or Mobile App, you should change your Digital Banking credentials. From the web browser, log in to Digital Banking. Go to My Settings in the upper right. Under Log In & Security, edit your User ID and Password. From the Mobile app, Go to My Settings in the upper right. Tap my settings, edit your User ID and Password. 

          If you believe the unauthorized activity may be a result of someone using your debit card, you can turn your card off (and back on again) with our Card Controls feature in Online Banking and the Mobile App.

          Of course, prevention is the best approach. To find information on steps you can take to protect against having your account or information compromised, visit our security center.

        10. What are eBills and how do I use them?

          eBills are online versions of your paper bills that you receive. eBills enable you to review and pay bills directly from your Digital Banking account within Online Bill Pay.

          When setting up a new payee, Bill Pay will check to see if this payee offers eBills. If eBills are available, simply click Get eBill to begin enrollment.

          • To start filling in the required information, click Get Started!
          • Fill out the required information and agree to the terms. 
          • When ready, click Submit to complete the enrollment. 

          Keep in mind that it may take up to two billing cycles before you begin receiving eBills.

          Set up an automatic payment for an eBill payee:

          • Start by clicking Options.
          • Then select Automatic Payment.
          • You can choose your options for how you would like to pay your bill.
