How do I register for Mobile Banking?
If you are already registered for Online Banking, you are ready to use Mobile Banking. No separate registration is required. Simply enter www.gatecitybank.com into the browser function of your mobile phone, and enter your Online Banking User ID and Password. The first time you log in using your phone, you will be asked to answer your two Enhanced Login Security validation questions. After you answer the validation questions, you will have the option to add extra security to your device so you won't need to answer the validation questions every time you log in.

Is there a charge for Mobile Banking?
Gate City Bank offers Mobile Banking as a free service for our customers. However, your mobile phone service provider may charge fees for the Internet access that is necessary to use Mobile Banking.
Mobile Banking is as secure as Online Banking. It uses industry standard security technologies (SSL, WTLS, and PKI) and security certificates, with 128-bit encrypted communication. A five-minute time-out and the prevention of set-up of new Bill Pay Payees from Mobile Banking add to its security.
