What security measures does HomeLink use?
HomeLink uses several different methods to protect your information:
Encryption is the scrambling of information for transmission back and forth between two points. A key is required to decode the information. When you request information about your accounts, the request is sent encrypted to First Commonwealth. We then decode your request for information and send it back to you in an encrypted format. When you receive it, your information is decoded so that you can read it. Because your account information is being transmitted between you and First Commonwealth, encryption protects your account information so it can't be intercepted and read by a third party. 3. When do transactions post to my accounts? Just like ATMs and TellerPhone, your transactions will post in real-time. 4. What kind of computer equipment and software do I need for Online Banking? You need a computer with Internet access and a supported web browser. You can use either a Macintosh or a Windows computer. 5. Are there any fees for HomeLink? No, HomeLink remains a free service!

6. What if a merchant on the Master Payee List has a different billing address than the one I usually use when sending my payment? Verify that the selected merchant from the Master Payee List has the same billing address as the address on your statement. Otherwise, the merchant on this national list could be an entirely different company, or a different office/department that has no ability to apply your payment to your account. If the merchant name and address do not match, contact the merchant to inquire if your payment may be accepted at that location. If it will not, add the vendor and the information on your statement under "Add Payee." 7. What is the cut-off time for scheduling payments? Payments for a specific date must be set up before 8:45 AM Eastern Time on that business day. A business day is defined by any day that First Commonwealth is open for business (excluding weekends and holidays observed by the Federal Reserve Bank). 8.

How do I cancel e-Payer service if I change my mind? Simply click on the Cancel BillPayer button in the e-Payer section.
