How do I access mobile banking?
To access mobile banking, you will need to download the app from either the App Store (iPhone) or the Google Play Store (Android). Once you have downloaded the app, login to get started.
How do I order a new debit card?
The easiest way to get a new debit card is to come into your local branch. We can print you a card and you can create your personal identification number (PIN) in the branch so the card is ready-to-use before you leave. You can also give us a call at 805 965 5942 or send us a Secure Message through online and mobile banking and we can have a card and PIN mailed to you.
Where do I find my account number?
You can find your full account number on your new account documentation, as well as on the bottom of your checks.
In online and mobile banking, you will only see the last 4 digits of your account number for security.
How does FDIC insurance work?
FDIC insurance protects deposits from loss up to the FDIC insurance limit, including principal and accrued interest. Deposits include checking accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and certificates of deposit (CDs).
At American Riviera Bank, your deposits are covered by the FDIC for up to $250,000 per depositor. You may have more coverage depending on the ownership of your accounts.
- Single ownership accounts are insured up to $250,000 per owner
- Joint ownership accounts are insured with at least $500,000 (Up to $250,000 per co-owner)
- IRAs are insured up to $250,000 per owner
- Revocable trust accounts are insured up to $250,000 per owner, per beneficiary
You can use the FDIC's Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator (EDIE) to estimate your insurance coverage.
What is a routing number and where can I find it?
Your routing number identifies the location where your account was opened. You may be asked for your checking account routing number when you're making a payment online or by phone, or when you order checks. It's also referred to as an RTN, a routing transit number or an ABA routing number.
American Riviera Bank's routing number is 122244333.
You can also find the routing number on the bottom of your checks, next to your account number.
