Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What are Croghan Alerts?

A. Select the “Croghan Alerts” tab within Online Banking. You’ll see the Croghan Alerts that you’ve signed up to receive. Select “Edit” to update your email address or mobile number for each alert.

Q. When are account alerts delivered?

Many Croghan Alerts are triggered when a transaction posts to your account; some of your transactions post to your account immediately, while other transactions post once a day. You can expect to receive Croghan Alerts no later than one business day from the triggering event.

Q. Why do my Health Savings and Money Market Accounts show as checking accounts?

A. Since Health Savings and Money Market accounts have check-writing abilities they are considered checking accounts on our system.

Q. Why did I receive two alerts for the same transaction?

A. You may receive two alerts for the same transaction due to how the transaction posts to your account. One alert is for pre-authorization of the transaction, and the second alert is when the transaction actually posts to your account. Should you have questions regarding a double alert, review your account information through Online or Mobile Banking to verify the transaction posted correctly to your account.

Q. I paid several bills using Bill Pay, why does my alert text message only show one payment?

A. Text message alerts give a snapshot of account alert information. For this purpose when payments are made at the same time, the text message will only reflect one payment – even though the entire amount of all payments was actually taken from your account. Email alerts contain much more detail and we suggest you also sign up to receive email alerts for this purpose.
