General Information

What is my routing number at Legence Bank?

Your routing number is 081204867. 

How do I reorder checks?

You may bring a reorder slip or request a reorder at any of our branches. You may also use the Reorder Checks link on the left-hand side of this page.

I recently moved and need to update my contact information with the bank. What do I need to do?

We need to have your current address, phone number and email address. If you visit one of our branches, we will ask that you sign a form so that we may update your information. If you call one of our branches, we will mail a form to you. When we receive the signed form, we will be able to update your information accordingly. 

I recently changed my name. How do I update this?

We will need to make a copy of your driver's license reflecting your new name. We will also ask that you and anyone on your accounts sign a new signature card for each affected account. 

How do I sign up for direct deposit?

This is something you may set up with the company that is sending the deposit. You will need to provide the company with your routing number, account number, bank name, and possibly a blank voided check. They will inform you of when you will receive your first direct deposit. If you would like assistance in setting up a direct deposit, simply call one of our Customer Service Representatives. 

I do not have internet access at home, but I would like to stay up on my balances. What options to do I have?

You have two great options. Telephone Banking is completely free and allows you to call a toll-free number to retrieve your balance as well as recent activity. To use Telephone Banking, first call a Customer Service Representative at your local branch and set up a four-digit PIN to be used for Telephone Banking. Once that is set up, you may call 1-800-811-8204 to retrieve your current balance as well as recent activity on your account. Text Banking allows you to text or to receive text alerts which offer your balance as well as recent activity on your cell phone. Legence Bank does not charge for Text Banking with personal accounts. However, you may wish to check with your mobile carrier to make sure that you will not incur fees for texting on your cell phone plan. Please contact a Legence Bank Customer Service Representative if you are interested in either service.

I would like to get a new account, but my schedule does not allow me to come into a branch during business hours. What should I do?

If you wish to apply for a personal checking or savings account, applying for an account online is a great option. This user-friendly application takes about 10 minutes and will initiate the process of opening your account with our Customer Service Team. To apply online, simply click the Open Now button when viewing the type of account you wish to open.

I want to safeguard myself from identity theft. What are some best practices to protect my identity?

Your security is of the utmost importance at Legence Bank. We believe that the best defense against online criminals is for us to keep you as informed as possible. We offer a practical set of tips that can help you protect yourself against identity theft. For more information, simply visit our Fraud Prevention and Security page. 

I need further assistance with one of my bank accounts or bank services. Whom do I contact?

Should you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact any of our Customer Service Representatives at your local branch or at 1-800-360-8044.

Debit Cards

I just received my debit card. What should I do now?

You can activate your card within your Legence Bank online banking or in our APP.   You can also activate your debit card by calling the toll-free number included with the card.

I would like to change the PIN on my debit card. How can I do that?

You can choose a PIN within your online banking or in our APP.  You can also update your PIN us by calling us at 1-800-360-8044.

I either lost my debit card or it was stolen. What do I do?

You should notify Legence Bank as soon as possible in order to close your debit card by calling your local branch or calling 1-800-360-8044. If you have online banking or our APP, you also have the ability to Turn your card “Off” From the Manage Cards menu. If you choose this option, you must still call us to complete the closure. To contact someone after hours, please call 1-844-202-5333.

Should I choose credit or debit when I use my debit card?

Legence Bank recommends that you choose credit for all point-of-sale purchases. It is a more secure transaction.

Why do I have a $1.00 transaction on my account?

Some merchants will pre-authorize your debit card to ensure that it is a valid account. It is simply a hold on your account. This hold will remain until the merchant submits the actual amount of the transaction and it posts to your account. Once the actual payment posts, typically within 2 or 3 business days, the pre-authorization in the amount of $1.00 will come off of your account.

My debit card was denied for a large purchase, but the funds are available in my account for this amount. What happened?

There are limits placed on all debit cards and ATM cards for your security. These limits are set per business day. If you wish to adjust these limits temporarily or permanently, please contact a Customer Service Representative at Legence Bank. 

Why am I asked for a security code when using my debit card over the phone or online?

The three-digit code shown on the back of your debit card lets merchants know that you're physically holding the card when you make a purchase online or over the phone. It is an extra level of security that helps prevent fraudulent transactions on your card. This code is sometimes called a Card Security Code (CSC), Card Verification Data (CVD) or a Card Verification Value (CVV), among other terms. 

I am traveling out of the country. Should I notify Legence Bank?

If you will be using your debit card while you travel far from home, especially if you are traveling internationally, you will need to notify our Operations department of where and which dates you will be traveling. If you have Legence Bank Digital Banking services, you may also add Travel Information from the Manage Cards menu.

Spin P2P

Is this product safe?

Does it matter what type of card my recipient has?

Will my payee receive the funds immediately?

Funds will be sent from your Legence Bank account to the receiving bank immediately, (once the recipient has entered their valid card number) but availability is dependent on the recipient’s bank’s policy. Encourage your recipient to ask their bank when funds will be available on a deposit through their debit card.

Can I make a change to or cancel a P2P I scheduled?

No, P2P transactions are immediate and cannot be edited, cancelled, or returned. Please make sure to send money only to other people you trust.

For example, do not send money using P2P to an unknown recipient for a purchase you are making online until you’ve actually received your item.

Can I set up a recurring P2P transfer?

No, recurring transfers with P2P are not available. You will need to issue each payment separately.

The person I am sending money has a new debit card since the last time I sent them funds.  What do I do?

You will receive a message stating their card is expired and it will allow you the opportunity to send a new link and/or you can delete your recipient and recreate them, which will send them another link to enter their new card number.

If your deposit is rejected for any reason, you will receive an email with that status and reason for the rejection.

What types of checks may I not deposit through Mobile Deposit?

The system will not accept a third-party check, checks from a foreign country, previously deposited items, or checks made payable to a business, trust, or estate. Also, a two-party check must have endorsements of both individuals and must be deposited into an account on which both parties are owners. 

How does a Mobile Deposit display to me in Online Banking?

Once your Mobile Deposit posts to your account, it will simply have a description of "Mobile Deposit". Should you double-click on the transaction to view the image, it will show you an auto-generated deposit ticket that was created for your Mobile Deposit, rather than the image of your check.

What happens if my check is returned?

Should the check you wrote be returned for insufficient funds or another issue, it will be handled in the same manner as a check you would deposit in a branch. 

A deposit I made through Mobile Deposit was rejected. May I try to submit the same check again?

The system does not allow a check to be submitted into the system twice. Should you need to submit a check to our bank that has previously been submitted through Mobile Deposit, please do so in a branch, through an ATM deposit or night drop, or via mail. 

I'm trying to take an image of a check through Mobile Deposit, but my phone won't allow me to change to landscape view, so it won't let me take the image. What's wrong?

Some phones have a Portrait Orientation Lock. It may be possible that you have previously turned that lock on which will not allow your screen to turn to landscape. Simply find that setting and turn it off to proceed.
