A fresh banking experience is coming!
At Home Federal Bank, we are always looking for ways to improve your banking experience.

We want to make you aware of several important dates and changes associated with our upgrade.

Business Online and Mobile Banking will not be available during this period.

Yes. Current username and password will remain the same. If you need assistance, call 308-382-4000 or use the Forgot Password option on the current login page.
What do personal mobile banking users need to do after the upgrade?
On or after November 16, download or update the Home Federal Mobile Banking app before signing in. Current users will be prompted to update the app at first login. New users can search for “Home Federal Bank GI Mobile” in their device’s app store. Username will be required the first time customers sign in, and customers may need to re-enable Face ID or fingerprint authentication.
NOTE – Transaction History will not be available until November 17, 2026.
FOR BUSINESS – When will business online & mobile be unavailable?
Business online and mobile banking will not be available from approximately 5:00 pm. CT on Friday, November 13, 2026 through approximately 9:00 a.m. CT Monday, November 16, 2026.
FOR BUSINESS – What do business banking users need to know about signing in?
Unless Home Federal Bank has contacted you with different instructions, continue using your current username and password. You will need to complete the Token Enablement process during your first login. You may also need to re-enable Face ID or fingerprint authentication.
FOR BUSINESS – Can business users access personal and business accounts with one sign-on?
Yes. Beginning November 16, customers can access both personal and business accounts through one sign-on in Online Banking and the mobile app. The separate Personal and Business login buttons on the website will be replaced by one login button.
FOR BUSINESS – Will internal transfer templates move to the upgraded system?
No. Before November 13, business customers need to take screenshots or write down the information needed to recreate your internal transfer templates after the upgrade.
FOR BUSINESS – Will ACH history transfer to the upgraded system?
No. Download your ACH history before November 13. We also recommend creating a template for each unique ACH file before that date because the upgraded system will not support the “Copy” feature.
FOR BUSINESS – Account Nicknames may not carry over the same.
We encourage customers to have a list of their nicknames before November 13.
e-Statement access for non-Online Banking users:
As of November 14, 2026 e-Statement enrollment and access will be through either our personal or business Online Banking system. If you access your e-Statement outside of our Online Banking system today you will need to enroll in Online Banking and re-enroll in e-Statements. To enroll in Online Banking simply click on the Online Banking box in red at the top right of our home page and click on “Enroll Now” to start the process. If you do not re-enroll in e-Statements, paper statements will automatically be mailed to the personal or business address we have on file.
We understand that changes to your banking service can raise questions, and we are here to help. Please feel free to call us at 308-382-4000 or 1-800-658-3183.
