Getting Started

We have launched our new Mobile Banking platform. You will notice that it is an entirely new platform that has added functionality.

  • Once you have logged in to Online Banking to establish your credentials, you must delete your old Mobile Banking App. before you can download the new TSBG Mobile Banking App.

Get our mobile banking app for Android, iPhone or iPad, by searching for "TSBG Mobile Banking".

  • Once you have downloaded the new TSBG Mobile Banking App, you will be able to access your accounts again, as well as Mobile Deposit, using your current Online Banking User ID and new password.

Mobile Check Deposit Endorsement Requirements

Any checks that you deposit using our Mobile Banking App, will require a special restrictive endorsement (in addition to your standard endorsement).

This means that when you make a Mobile deposit using your smartphone or any mobile device, you must include your name (as displayed on payee line), “For Mobile Deposit TSBG”, and account number, on the back of the check when you endorse it.

If the additional endorsement is missing, or not machine readable on the checks that you submit, the deposit will be rejected by the Bank and you’ll receive notification that your “deposit was rejected due to restrictive endorsement”. To avoid any delay in crediting your account, please begin using the required endorsement at your earliest convenience.

If you have any questions, please stop by any branch office or contact us by dialing 815.728.8645, option #1.
