Business Internet Banking vs. Regular Internet Banking

MyState’s Business Internet Banking contains additional functionality that Personal Internet Banking does not offer including creating batch payments and adding delegated users to name a few. Not all Business Banking customers need this additional functionality, therefore our regular internet banking may be a better option.

If you are unsure which solution you need, let us know and we will be able to answer any questions you have.

Delegated User Management

Delegated User Registration

To provide access to Business Internet Banking to a delegated user, both the Administrator and Delegated User need to complete the Delegated User Registration Form. To activate, this form needs to be returned with identification, to a MyState Branch by the Delegated User.

Delegated User Cancellation

To cancel a Delegated User's access, you will need to cancel the users access under the 'Manage Users' panel in Business Internet Banking. You will then need to complete the Delegated User Cancellation Form and return to your nearest MyState Branch.

For more information view the User Guide, available for download on this support page.

Second Factor Authentication

MyState Business Internet Banking has been designed to provide you with safe, secure online banking through SMS Second Factor Authentication.

Second Factor Authentication is an additional layer of security which is activated when you perform Internet Banking Transactions that carry an increased risk. For example, when you complete a high-value transaction or make your first transfer to a new payee.

Second Factor Authentication provides a unique SMS security code that you can use in addition to your customer number, username and password for safe and secure account access.

When you make a transaction that requires Second Factor Authentication you will be prompted to obtain Further Authentication by clicking on the ‘Get SMS Code’ button. Automatically an SMS will be sent to your mobile number containing a six digit authentication code. Simply enter that code where required on your Business Internet Banking session and your transaction will be authenticated.
