How easy is it to use?

You do not have to know a lot about computers to be able to use Internet Banking, nor do you have to be at home to take care of your banking needs. For basic banking services, it is as easy as a click of your mouse. Using the Bill Pay service makes paying bills as simple as setting a date and an amount.

Is the password case sensitive?

Yes. If you type your new password in all lower case letters, you will need to always type your password in lower case. Be careful of the CAPS LOCK key under the TAB key. It is a very easy and common mistake to press the CAPS LOCK key and then quickly lock yourself out of Internet Banking.

Can joint account holders sign up?

Each account holder must have a Waccamaw Bank ATM card or Waccamaw Visa Check Card. If they do, then each person may sign up for access. Since the Bill Pay service is associated with an individual, a joint account may not be shared as the Bill Pay account.
