1: What is Memberline and Home Banking?
Top of Page

1: Memberline is an audio response system used to access your LGE accounts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week using a Touch-Tone® telephone. A personal access code is required.

Home Banking allows access to your LGE accounts 24 hours a day using a personal computer. Log on to www.LGEccu.org and click the Home Banking login graphic. A password is required.

2: How can I qualify for Memberline and Home Banking?
Top of Page

2: You would need to be an LGE member and keep a minimum savings balance of $5.00. Once you receive or set up your Memberline access code and Home Banking password, you will be allowed full privileges to both services. In order to access Home Banking you must agree to LGE's online disclosure ("eDisclosure"), which will be presented to you as a pop-up when logging into Home Banking.

3: How can I get access to Memberline and Home Banking for account withdrawals and transfers?
Top of Page

3: Members are automatically set up with full access to Memberline and Home Banking, which includes inquiries, transfers, and withdrawals. If you cannot remember your access code or password, contact us at 770-424-0060 or 800-541-8921 .

4: Can I export my data from Home Banking to financial software?
Top of Page

4: Yes. Your financial data can be exported into Quicken or Microsoft Money software. Simply log on to Home Banking and choose "Quicken Download" from the top toolbar. A link for troubleshooting tips is also available.

5: Can I change my Home Banking password online?
Top of Page

5: Yes. We strongly encourage you to change your Home Banking password the first time you log on to your computer. Change your password frequently. To change your password in Home Banking click on the "Profile" button and choose "Change Password", then follow the directions. Remember that alpha characters are case sensitive.

We also recommend that you change your Memberline access code, too. To change your Memberline access code select the “New Access Code” service ID on the Memberline Menu.

6: What can I do if the LGE Homepage or Home Banking is down for maintenance?
Top of Page

6: If the LGE page is down you can access Home Banking by going to this address: www.myLGEccu.org and clicking on the Home Banking link. If Home Banking itself is down for maintenance you will be unable to access it at all for the duration of maintenance. You can also use the alternative link to access our Web Bill Pay site as well.

7: Is it secure to log on to Home Banking?
Top of Page

7: Yes. When you are transmitting information to a secure page, even if it is from an unsecured page, the information is encrypted for your protection.

8: Is the Home Banking page secure?
Top of Page

8: LGE has implemented state-of-the-art technology and is committed to online security. The confidentiality of your accounts is maintained as the data is passed from our Home Banking server to your personal computer in an encrypted format using SSL technology, where your browser then decodes the information for you to view. LGE has also installed secure firewalls and intrusion detection systems to ensure that no unauthorized access is permitted.

9. Why am I being asked a challenge question when logging in to Home Banking?
Top of Page

9. The computer uses various criteria to determine if a security breach may be occurring. Should it appear that someone other than you is attempting to access your account, LGE will pop up a personal verification question to make sure that it really is you and not an online criminal.

10. Will I have to answer challenge questions each time I log in to Home Banking?
Top of Page

10. No. You will only be prompted with a challenge question if fraudulent access is suspected. However, some users may be asked challenge questions more often than others, depending on how their connection is set up with their internet provider.

11. Do I have to register challenge questions and answers?
Top of Page

11. Yes. The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), a guidance agency for financial institutions, released direction to financial institutions to provide security beyond usernames and passwords for all online channels. LGE has implemented this type of security, called multifactor authentication, to secure your accounts beyond the usernames and passwords that you normally use. After May 1, 2007 you will not be able to access Home Banking without registered challenge questions and answers on file.

12. How do I register my challenge questions and answers?
Top of Page

12. LGE’s Home Banking will prompt you to supply personalized answers to a number of challenge questions. An example of a challenge question might be, "What was the name of your best friend in High School?"

13. How do I change my challenge questions and answers?
Top of Page

13. Contact our Account Services Consulting Center at 770-424-0060 or 800-541-8921, ext 311. We can reset your questions and answers for you after verifying your identity.

14. What if I share the account, can we each have our own set of challenge questions and answers?
Top of Page

14. Each account can only have one set of challenge questions and answers. If you do have a joint owner on the account, be sure that he or she knows the challenge questions and answers that you have selected to protect your account. Treat your challenge questions and answers as you would any password.

15: What types of transactions are available with Memberline and Home Banking?

16: Is there a monthly fee for Memberline or Home Banking?
Top of Page

16: No. These services are free to LGE members.

17: How can I keep my account information confidential when using LGE Home Banking?
Top of Page

17: Change your password frequently. You are the key to safeguarding the confidentiality of your accounts. You are issued a temporary password that you will be asked to change when logging on for the first time. You should select a password that you can easily remember, but that no one else would likely guess; for example, do not select your date of birth, address, or a family name. Never reveal your password to any unauthorized user. Always change your password immediately if you think that it has been compromised.

We also advise that you exit the Internet by closing your browser (such as Netscape or Internet Explorer) after ending your Home Banking session before moving to other areas of our website or the Internet. Do not walk away from your computer in the middle of an active Home Banking session. If you are logged on and walk away, anyone can sit down to your computer and have immediate access to your account(s). Always remember to log off when you are finished with your session.

For maximum security when viewing your account information, LGE strongly recommends that you use a browser with 128-bit SSL encryption. After you leave your LGE online session, we recommend that you clear your browser’s cache. This prevents someone else from being able to view your account information that is temporarily stored on your computer. You can clear your cache by closing down your browser and then re-initiating it or you can clear your cache, without closing your browser, by using the instructions provided in your browser’s online help system or your browser’s preferences menu.

18: What do I need to do if my screen displays “This page is expired”?
Top of Page

18: Log off of your session and attempt to log on again. If this still continues to display follow the instructions below:

Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5 and 6:

Go to the Tools menu and select Internet Options. Then click on Delete Files. At the next box that appears make sure that the Delete All Offline Content box is checked then click OK. (This will delete all Temporary Internet Files created by Internet Explorer from your computer.) Then try accessing our Home Banking site again.

Netscape Communicator 4.7x or 7.0:

Go to the Edit menu and select Preferences. When the box appears select Advanced then Cache. You will need to clear both the Memory Cache and the Disk Cache. (This clears all Temporary Internet Files created by Netscape from your computer.) Then try accessing our Home Banking site again.

AOL 8.0:

In AOL 8.0, go to Keyword: PREFERENCES. Click Internet Properties (www) from the Organization column. In the AOL Internet Properties window on the General tab, click on the "Delete Files..." button. In the pop-up window, check the "Delete all Offline Content" check box and click OK. Next, click on the "Settings..." button. In the Settings window, make sure that "check for newer versions of stored pages" is set to "Every visit to the page" and click OK twice.

19: Why does my password automatically display when I type my account number to log in to Home Banking?
Top of Page

19: This is a feature of your Internet Browser called Auto-Complete. The instructions below will tell you how to clear out saved access codes/passwords and to make sure it doesn’t ask you to save it again. Please be aware that if you wish to keep Auto-Complete on, you run the risk of having your computer save the password again and/or having anyone else at your computer being able to access your account.

Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0:

Go to the Tools menu and select Internet Options. Go to the Content tab. Click on Auto-Complete. From here you can disable (uncheck) the option for Auto-Saving the access codes/passwords and you can also clear out currently saved access codes/passwords by selecting Clear Passwords and Clear Forms.

Netscape 4.7x does not automatically store access codes/passwords for sites.

Netscape 7.0:
To completely disable stored passwords go to the Edit menu and select Preferences. Go to the Privacy & Security tab and then select Passwords. Deselect Remember Passwords.

To remove the password for just the Home Banking site go to the Tools menu and select Password Manager and then select Manage Stored Passwords. From here you can remove just your Home Banking password and also tell Netscape to never store the Home Banking password.

20: Why does my computer only allow me to see the first page on Home Banking after logging in?
Top of Page

20: This is due to the fact that the Home Banking site uses Cookies in order to track each user. You must have Cookies enabled in your browser in order for you to use Home Banking. Please click here to find out how to enable cookies.

21: What are cookies?
Top of Page

21: Cookies are little files used by the Home Banking server to help us verify that we are pulling the correct account information. You must have Cookies enabled in your browser in order for you to use Home Banking. Please follow the instructions below to enable cookies on your computer.

In Microsoft Internet Explorer 5, go to the Tools menu and select Internet Options. Click on the Security tab. Highlight the Internet zone and click on the custom level button. Scroll to the section labeled "Cookies". Make sure the options "Allow cookies that are stored on your computer" and "Allow per-session cookies" are enabled and click OK twice.

In Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, go to the Tools menu and select Internet Options. Click on the Privacy tab. Move the slider down to the level of "Accept all cookies" and click OK.

In AOL 8.0 , go to keyword: PREFERENCES. From the organization column, click "Internet Properties (www)". In the AOL Internet Properties window, click on the Privacy tab. Make sure the slider is set to the "Accept all cookies" option and click OK.

22: Why does Home Banking continually return me to a page with a blue background and two options?
Top of Page

22: Our Home Banking service uses cookies in order to access your account. In some cases cookies may not be allowed and as a result Home Banking always redirects you to a page with two options, one for Home Banking and one for Web Bill Pay. This happens after you put in your correct account number and password. In order to fix this you will need to enable cookies.
Please click here to find out how to enable cookies.

23: What kind of browser do I need for Home Banking?
Top of Page

23: As far as browsers are concerned, we can only support what our core processor (Symitar) supports. However, many people are able to use Home Banking with unsupported browsers by making sure that the browser is configured to work with the Home Banking product.

Supported browsers for Home Banking are:
Windows -
IE 6.0 with Service Pack 2
Firefox 5
Netscape 7.2
MAC -
Netscape 7.2

Home Banking does not operate with the following browsers:
AOL
Web TV
MAC running Internet Explorer
MAC running Safari

Why does Safari (for MAC) not work with Home Banking?
The software that runs the credit union will only support certain browsers because it has to certify them. They have not currently certified Safari to work with Home Banking, but they are working on it. Some members are able to use Safari with our Home Banking. If you are having trouble please check the security settings of the Safari browser.

24: What do I do if I receive an SSL error message when trying to log in to Home Banking?
Top of Page

24: If you receive an SSL error message, please ensure your browser supports 128 bit SSL or upgrade your browser to a newer version.

Internet Explorer has the Help/About menu that shows the level of security.

25: Does LGE offer a bill payment service?
Top of Page

25: Yes. Web Bill Pay is a convenient service that provides LGE members with a method to pay bills using the Internet, 24-hours a day. To enroll online, log in to Home Banking and click on the Bill Payment tab. Web Bill Pay service is free. If you have questions regarding the service, call the Account Services Consulting Center (ASCC) at 770-424-0060 or Web Bill Pay's member service line at 888-918-7405 for assistance.

26: What are the System and Browser Requirements for Web Bill Pay? (Revised March 2007)
Top of Page

26: What are the System and Browser Requirements for Web Bill Pay? (Revised March 2007)

• Mozilla Firefox 1.5 and 2.0 (Windows XP)

Macintosh:
• Safari 2.0 (OS X 10.4x)
• Mozilla Firefox 1.5 and 2.0 (OS X 10.3x)

• Windows Display Properties Settings should be 96 dpi (Windows default)
• Browser text size should be Medium

Blocked Browsers:

http://www.mozilla.org/download.html

Note: AOL 9.0 will still work but is not a browser supported by Web Bill Pay.

27: Can I export my data from Web Bill Pay to financial Software? (Revised January 2008)
Top of Page

27: You can import transaction information to Quicken 2006 or earlier versions. Effective July 7, 2005, Web Bill Pay does not support Microsoft Money downloads.

Quicken only supports the most recent 3 years. Therefore, on April 30, 2008, Quicken will drop support for Quicken 2005. From then on we will only be able to support downloads from Quicken 2006, 2007, and 2008. So if you are still using Quicken 2005, please be sure to upgrade before April 30, 2008.

Quicken is an Intuit software product used for home accounting. Intuit no longer provides support for the QIF format. As a result, LGE no longer supports the QIF format or is able to assist with this application. We recommend that you use the newer OFX (Open Financial Exchange) format, since there may be no help available through Intuit if you encounter problems with the QIF format

If you upgrade to a new version of Quicken, you can find information on how to convert from QIF to OFX here .

The Microsoft Money program also uses the OFX file format.

28: What is the Web Bill Pay masking feature in version 4.1?
Top of Page

28: With the Account Number Masking feature, only the last five digits of the payment account are displayed. This new security feature will allow you to associate a Name with your payment account. Effective 7/7/05, you will be able to go to the "My Accounts" screen where the full account number is displayed. Here you can "Update the Name" of your account so it can be easily identified in the drop down box list on the Payment Center when you schedule your payment. The drop down list will show the first 10 characters of the Name and the last 5 digits of your account number.

29: Where can I learn more about eStatements?
Top of Page

29: From the LGE website, chose the eStatements option from the Online Banking tab, or simply click here .

30: What is Single Sign-On?
Top of Page

30: Single Sign-On is a service that allows you to only use one password for Home Banking, eStatements and Web Bill Pay. All you need is your account number and current Home Banking password to utilize all three online services.

31: What do I need to do if I do not remember my Home Banking password?
Top of Page

31: If you have forgotten your Home Banking password e or need to establish one, please contact our Account Services Consulting Center at 770-424-0060 or 800-541-8921.

32: Why do the eStatements and Web Bill Pay links no longer work?
Top of Page

32: If you are using a bookmark to access eStatements and Web Bill Pay, you will notice that these links no longer work. Due to Single Sign-On, you will not need to use separate links to access eStatements and Web Bill Pay. These services can now be accessed via the Home Banking page.

33. What does it mean when I get the message that the security certificate has expired?
Top of Page

33. There can be several reasons for this message. The first answer is the simplest and has been the answer in many cases.

Check the date on your computer. If it is too far off from the real time, the computer thinks that the certificate is not yet valid, or has already expired.

Since we have added extra security to the Home Banking site using the Digital Resolve AuthGate product, it has its own security certificate that must be accepted. That is why you are being prompted to accept a certificate at that screen.

This mainly happens with browsers other than Internet Explorer. It has to do with the way different browsers handle certificates for websites. Within the last few months several of the Certificate Validation sites, such as Verisign and Thawte have changed the verification procedures to add an intermediate certificate. Without going into a lot of detail, Internet Explorer doesn't complain about this extra step, but many other browsers do. On your first visit to a secure website using Firefox, you will probably get the "expired or is not valid" message.

34. What should I do when a white screen that begins with the words "This page is no longer available." comes up and it does not give me enough time to read all of the message?
Top of Page

34. Depending on your connection speed to the internet, you may sometimes see this message. All that is happening is that the Authgate (multi-factor) product is talking to the home banking server and passing it their login information. That is the reason for the slight delay. You can either wait or click the Continue button.

35. Can you explain some common Internet terms?
Top of Page

35. Glossary of Technical Terms
Certificates - When you connect to a commerce website, such as a bank or bookseller, web browsers use a secure connection that uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL -provides security for internet websites) technology to encrypt the transaction. The encryption is based on a certificate that provides the information it needs to communicate securely with the website. Certificates also identify the website and owner or company.

IP Address - Whenever a computer connects to a network or the internet, it is given an identifying address. It is called an IP (internet protocol) address.

Online Service Provider (OSP) - an online service provider is a company that only provides access to its own network on the internet. AOL, Compuserve and Prodigy are examples of OSP's. If you are a subscriber to one of these services, you are accessing only their network, not the internet as a whole.

Pop-up - New browser window that opens without your control to usually to present advertising.

Search Engine - A website with a database of Web pages.

Spyware - A broad term that refers to several types of programs which invade your privacy on the Web.
