Security
Pinnacle's online banking carries several levels of security.
From account information to personal data, the Internet has become a key place for criminals to get information. The good news is there are simple ways you can safeguard your online accounts and personal computers.See our online library of resources on how to protect yourself from fraud.
- Secure connection. Your data is scrambled as it travels from our computer to your computer. All online banking pages use the highest standard of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption available to prevent thieves from accessing your banking data.
- Password protected. The importance of picking a good, secure password can't be emphasized enough. The objective when creating a password is to make it as difficult as possible for anyone to make an educated guess about what you have selected. Here are some tips for creating a strong password:
- Make it lengthy. Each character you add increases the protection.
- Combine letters, numbers and symbols. The greater variety of characters you have, the harder it is to guess.
- Avoid sequences or repeated characters. 12345678, 222222, abcdefg, or adjacent letters on your keyboard.
- One-time PINs. We recognize the computers you use frequently. If we don't recognize the computer trying to access your accounts – say you've logged in from work or removed cookies from your existing web browser – we'll require you to enter a one-time PIN, delivered to your mobile device or email address. We'll also use one-time PINs for certain essential functions like changing your address or setting up external transfers. Learn more about one-time PINs here.
- Alerts and controls. You can set up security or account activity alerts to be notified when certain actions take place, like when an online transfer is processed or a check number clears. You can also establish alerts and controls for your debit cards, such as placing a temporary hold on a card if it’s misplaced or blocking international transactions. Learn more about debit card controls here.
- Advanced features. Finally, the online banking site is protected by the most advanced firewalls and monitoring tools available on the market today. All of these features make online banking secure and safe.

My Credit Score
Keep tabs on your score in Online Banking.
My Credit Score is a free tool to help you keep an eye on your score. It shows a weekly look at your credit score, the elements that make it up and recent events that affect it. It's available in Online Banking and our mobile app.
My Credit Score also features the Financial Checkup tool. It offers a detailed spending and cash flow overview, allowing users to analyze budgets and assess debt-to-income ratios through an intuitive Q&A financial assessment. Once the assessment is completed, users will see their financial health score, credit score, debt-to-income ratio, spending ratio, and monthly budget summary. Additionally, the tool provides personalized guidance with recommended steps to reduce spending and enhance debt-to-income ratios for a healthier financial outlook. You can find Financial Checkup below the Score Analysis Cards on the Credit Score Dashboard, shown at the bottom of this page.
Where is My Credit Score?
My Credit Score is one of the widgets available in Online Banking. Widgets are in the right-hand column on the Overview page. You can personalize which widgets appear by clicking the pencil icon and unchecking the widgets you want to hide or reorder them.
When you click My Credit Score to open the full tool, it will open as a new window in your web browser, showing a website separate from Online Banking called SavvyMoney.com.
In the Pinnacle mobile app, My Credit Score is available on the welcome screen with your account overviews.
How do I enroll?
You are not enrolled in My Credit Score automatically. To take advantage of this feature, you must be 18 or older and will need to opt-in. That includes giving My Credit Score authorization to perform “soft pulls” of your credit score. These soft pulls will not affect your credit score.
To enroll, click the “Show My Score” button on the My Credit Score widget.
You will be taken to a form asking for your permission to retrieve your credit score and report.
A few users may be asked to confirm or correct personal information at this point. Most will not.
You will then be taken to a dashboard showing your score and several options for analyzing and exploring it. You can find Financial Checkup below the Score Analysis Cards on the Credit Score Dashboard.

Debit Card Center in Online and Mobile Banking helps keep your accounts secure and your money safe.
Through Debit Card Center, you can:
- View a digital version of your debit cards and recent transactions plus spending insights for each.
- Activate a card or change your PIN.
- Temporarily turn your card “off” if you misplace it.
- Get email, text or push notifications if a purchase is over a certain limit or made in a certain channel—or all purchases, if you prefer.
- Deny transactions over a certain limit or used in certain merchant categories like fast food or gas stations or transaction types, such as online, at an ATM or via digital wallet.
- Set spend limits per transaction.
- Get alerted to or deny in-person international transactions.
- Set travel plans with locations and dates to help ensure transactions aren’t flagged as suspicious during travel.
Just click the “Debit Card Center” tab in Online Banking or under the “More” menu in the app to get started.
View our quick user guide for managing card controls and alerts.
Get answers to the most frequently asked questions on card controls and alerts.
Turning your card to “off” will prevent new transactions—including purchases, ATM activity and digital wallet transactions—from being approved while you try to find it. However, transactions that are flagged as previously authorized recurring payments, credits, refunds and reversals may be approved while your card is turned off. Turning your card off is not a replacement for reporting your card as lost or stolen. If you’ve lost your card and are unable to recover it, call us to cancel it and receive a new one. Contact us immediately if you believe unauthorized transactions have been made.
