FAQ

You will have the opportunity to request overdraft protection on your account application when you open a new First Internet Bank checking and/or savings account. Please specify how you would like the accounts to be linked if you have more than one checking and/or savings account. If your accounts are already open, contact a Relationship Banker at 1-888-873-3424 for assistance.

If you would like to be considered for an overdraft line of credit, you will have the opportunity to apply for it through the checking account application. An overdraft line of credit is subject to credit approval.

If your checking account is already open but you did not ask to be considered for an overdraft line of credit with your account application, you may make the request through the online banking site. Log in to your online banking account, click Additional Services, select Open Deposit Accounts, choose the Overdraft Line of Credit for existing checking option from the drop-down menu and click the Proceed button to advance to the online application. Complete and submit the application electronically. Once the application has been submitted, print, sign, and return the confirmation screen to us via fax at 1-888-644-8678. You will receive a decision within two business days.

If you have another account with First Internet Bank and wish only to close one account, you may transfer the entire balance of the account you wish to close to your other account. Or, if you have an ATM card, debit card or checks for your account, you may withdraw the entire balance of your account.

Important note: Withdrawing the funds in your account will not close the account. To close the account, please submit a written request with your name and the last four digits of your account number. An authorized account holder must sign the request. Email the request to bank@firstib.com, fax it toll-free to 1-888-644-8678 or mail it to:

First Internet Bank of Indiana
PO Box 6080
Fishers, IN  46038

For new customers with Interest Checking accounts, we will order an initial supply of checks for you. You will receive your checks approximately 10-14 days after receiving confirmation that we have opened your account. You may order additional personal checks at any time through the online site banking by clicking Additional Services > Check Reorder. You are not required to order checks through our website and may order checks from another source if you prefer.

The check catalog in our online banking system offers personal check styles only. You may order business checks through Deluxe by calling 1-800-328-7205, from 7:30 AM to 8:00 PM (Central time).

You can submit a real-time stop payment request for a single check or for a range of checks through online banking.

No. All checks must be originally made payable to an account owner to be eligible for iScan. Please refer to the iScan User Agreement for other types of items that are ineligible to be deposited using the service.

Bill payment service is tied to your user ID, not to the checking account you share. Therefore, you will only be able to see the pending payments you have set up yourself, and the joint account holder will only be able to see the pending payments he/she set up. For that reason, many of our customers using bill payment find it is preferable to designate one user ID for bill payment services.
