You can send funds to or receive funds from checking or savings accounts at other financial institutions through the First Bank Richmond Digital Banking application. Before you begin, find the routing number and account number of the account that you would like to link to your First Bank Richmond Digital banking profile. If adding a checking account, you can find the routing and account number on a check for that account. See the example image below.

If you want to add a savings account, please contact your financial institution for the routing number that they use for savings deposits. Also verify if your account is eligible for ACH transactions as not all savings accounts allow for ACH transactions. If you have issues with your micro deposits showing up in your account, verify the routing number with the other financial institution as not all financial institutions have one routing number for all account types.

In order to set up a new external account:

1. Select Services from the Menu
   
   
2. Select External Accounts
   
   
3. This form will enable you to request that an external account (an account you have at another financial institution) be linked for electronic transfers. Please note only domestic (U.S.) banks are allowed.
   
   
   1. Enter the routing number
   2. Enter the account number
   3. Select the account Type (checking/savings)
   4. Click Submit
      
      
4. Once you click submit, two ACH Payments (also called micro deposits) will be generated and sent to the external account. It can take 1 – 3 days for the micro deposits to show in your external account. You will record the amount of the micro deposits deposited in your external account to use in the Micro Deposit Verification page. You typically have fourteen (14) days to complete this process before the micro deposits expire.
   
   
5. When you are ready to complete the verification process, repeat steps 1 & 2.   Under the heading Manage External Accounts, you will see the account that you are attempting to link. Click the blue Verify link and input the micro deposit amounts (as whole numbers - i.e., '0.22' = '22'). PLEASE NOTE: If you are looking to verify the micro-deposits for one of the external accounts that you have previously requested to be linked through Micro-Deposits and do not see it here. It is likely that your micro-deposits may have been expired. Please resubmit the external account.
   
   
6. Once you have correctly verified your micro deposits, the external account will be available in the list of accounts to transfer from/to in Funds Transfer feature under Transactions in the menu.

You should be able to use any modern browser to enjoy a full desktop banking experience with First Bank Digital Banking. 

If you are using Internet Explorer, we strongly urge you to seek a new alternative. IE will soon be retired by Microsoft and does not support many of the features and functions of the modern Web. Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari (Mac) are all easily recommended. 

   

Although our new online banking platform will basically work in a mobile browser, we urge you to seek out our actual mobile app instead. There are some features that are specific to the app, and your experience will generally be better using the app on your mobile device. 

For desktop, we recommend Microsoft Windows 10 or Mac OS X 10.10, as minimums.

For mobile, ensure that you are using Android 5.x and later or iOS 12.x and later for best performance and security.
