Getting Started
You can sign up for the NetTeller service by contacting the Operations Department at Western Bank. You simply need to fill out an application and return it to the bank. After your application is processed, your NetTeller ID and instructions for activating your account will be forwarded to you via mail.
To ensure a high level of security and performance, you will need a connection to the Internet, and a Web Browser that supports 128-bit SSL encryption, such as Microsoft Edge(Opens in a new Window) or Google Chrome(Opens in a new Window). You may contact either of these vendors for a current copy of their browser.
Internet Sign On Screen
To begin banking online go to the Home page of the Western Bank website. From this screen you can sign on and access Western Bank’s NetTeller services by entering your Customer ID and Personal Identification Number (PIN). After you have entered your Customer ID and PIN, click on the GO button to submit your sign-on information.
Netteller Customer ID
A number is assigned by Western Bank. Once you are set up, you can create an alias for your ID number that is easier for you to remember. You customer ID is issued randomly by the system and cannot be changed.
Netteller PIN
After your first successful login, you will be prompted to change you PIN. Your PIN can be any 4-8 AlphaNumeric combination.
Note: Each customer is allowed three sign-on attempts. After the third invalid attempt, the user is "locked out" of the system. You must contact the bank for your account to be reset and the system to become "unlocked". If you forgot your PIN, you can call us to have your PIN reset, or, if you have a current e-mail address set up in netteller and have established your personal question and answer on the options page, you can access the password reset option and follow the instructions to have your PIN reset by e-mail. This option is only successful if you are not already "locked out" of the system. Once you login successfully, you can change your PIN.
Account Listing Page (Main Page)
The Account Listing page is the first page you will see after you login. This page has general information about the bank at the top of the page and your account information at the bottom. As a security measure, the system will also show the last time you logged in and the total number of times you have logged in. You can reset the login counter here. To view your account information you can select “View Accounts” or scroll down to your account information. From the Account Listing page you can also initiate transfers, view current transactions, view range of transactions between dates, enter stop payments, access Account Management, download transactions, access BillPay (bill payment service), email NetTeller Support, or get Help. To log out of NetTeller select “Exit”.

From the Account Listing page you can view all of the accounts you have set up to access through NetTeller. Initial account names are based on default system account descriptions. However, you can personalize the descriptions by going to the Options Tab, then by selecting Account you can change the Pseudo Account Name.
Use the drop down menus to select how you would like to view the information for each account. All account balances are displayed in real time; therefore with each inquiry, if the balance changes you will see the most current balance information. To initiate a request for new views, click on the drop-down menu, select an option, then click the submit button to initiate your request.

You will receive a confirmation that your request has been submitted through NetTeller. Please print, sign and return a copy of this request to Customer Service at Western Bank.

Change PIN
With this option you can change your PIN at any time and as many times as you wish. The PIN you choose must be 4-8 numbers or letters in length. If you ever forget your PIN, contact the bank and we can reset it for you. You will be prompted to change your PIN upon your first successful sign-on.
