Using Third-Party Electronic Deposits

Are funds received via electronic deposits from such apps as CashApp, Venmo, PayPal and Zelle available for immediate use?

Effective June 27, 2022, all Peer to Peer Payment (Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, Zelle, etc.) deposits received AFTER 2:00 p.m. will not show in the available balance (the balance that is free for use by you) of your account.  ATM and P2P deposits received after 2:00 p.m. are considered Next Day Credits (Deposits), which are not available until the next business day.  If you prefer access to your ATM and P2P deposits on the same business date received, please make sure to process prior to 2:00 p.m.  Customers who make ATM deposits after 2:00 p.m. may receive same day availability by touching the ATM screen and allowing one of our Assistance 1^st Agents to process your deposit until 9:00 p.m.  The 2:00 p.m. deadline is mandated by the ATM Processing Network and NOT by First Community Bank. Using the uncollected funds for withdrawals will incur a $30 Non-Sufficient Funds fee.

Is there risk of financial loss involved when tying my bank debit card to a third-party payment provider such as CashApp, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, etc.?

Consumers should read the details of the user agreement BEFORE connecting their bank debit card to the application. Some P2P providers are not required to reverse payments for accidental use of application or if they encounter fraud.

Stand-In Limits:

$505 ATM Withdrawal
$500 Merchant

Ex. This means the lower of the $505 ATM cash limit or your previous night end of day balance.

You may also be prompted with additional security questions. If your account still does not update, please contact us.

How do I add an account?

• Click the 'ADD' button in your left sidebar.
• Enter your financial institution's name into the search box. Check the URL associated with the institution to make sure it is where you normally access your account(s).
• Enter your login information EXACTLY as you would when logging into your financial institution directly and click 'CONNECT'

• Daily account transactions
• An advanced search bar to find transactions by name, date, category, etc.

What Browsers do you support?

We currently support:

• Mozilla Firefox 2+ (Windows + Mac)
• Safari 2+ (Windows + Mac)
• Internet Explorer 7+
• Google Chrome 1+

If you have an older browser, please try upgrading to one of these supported browsers. Also ensure that your security settings allow Personal Finance Manager "PFM" to function properly. You may experience issues if your browser has cookies turned off, is operating with a high security level, or has additional add-ons installed. If you experience a problem with one of our supported browsers, please contact support after verifying your browser settings.

How do I export transactions from my account to create reports?

You can export your transactions into a ‘CSV’ file, which is supported by most spreadsheet programs.

• On the Dashboard at the top-right of the transaction list, click the small 'Export Transactions' button.
• Enter the desired date range. We can export transactions back from when you began using PFM in any time span of one year or less.
• Click 'DOWNLOAD FILE'.
• A CSV file will be saved to your computer's download folder.

Can I delete a transaction?

Yes, you can remove transactions. These transactions will still be visible on your account directly, but will no longer show in PFM. Please note that this is a permanent action and cannot be undone.

• On the Dashboard, highlight the transaction you wish to delete and select 'EDIT'.
• Click 'Delete this transaction' in the bottom right corner of the screen.

What is a 'tag'?

A tag is a customizable word or phrase used to categorize your transactions. This feature gives you a better idea of how you're spending your money by tracking transactions in the same category. We will automatically pull in your most recent transactions and tag them (i.e. transportation, groceries, clothing). We suggest you edit your tags by clicking on the 'EDIT' button associated with each transaction. Customized tags give you a more accurate view of your budget(s), spending history and overall financial picture.

How do I edit or delete a Budget?

• Click on 'Budget' at the top of the page.
• Click on the Spending Target you'd like to edit from the list.
• At the top of the page, click the 'EDIT' or 'DELETE' button.
• You can change the name, amount, tags, and accounts associated with this Spending Target from here.

If your Spending Targets aren't updating correctly, ensure that:

• The associated tags are attached to transactions posted in the current month.
• You have the proper account(s) included for each Spending Target.
• Your Dashboard tags match the Spending Target tags.

My Spending Target totals are incorrect. Why is this?

If you are having issues with your budget, please check these common causes before contacting support.

• Confirm the accounts being tracked within your Spending Target. If only your savings account is selected, but the transactions you want factored into your Spending Target are coming from your checking account, the Budget will not reflect those transactions until both accounts are selected.
• If you are using tags with two or more words, such as 'Dining Out', you need to track this tag using the exact format, including spaces. For example, tracking transactions listed as 'Diningout' will not reflect in a budget looking for tags marked as 'Dining Out'.

If you need any further assistance managing your tags or budgets, please contact support.

How do I use my Cashflow Calendar?

Use Cashflow to get a quick glance of when your bills are due, when your paycheck is coming, and for viewing 'safe to spend' balances. Click 'Cashflow' to open the calendar and click on a day to add a new income source or bill due.

How do I select which accounts make up the daily cash balance?

• On the Cashflow page, click the 'Choose accounts.' link in the box above the calendar.
• Check the boxes next to the accounts you'd like to include.
• Click 'SAVE AND CLOSE'.

How do I create a Goal?

• Click on 'Goals' at the top of the page.
• Click the 'ADD A GOAL' button.
• Choose between a payoff or savings goal.
• Choose which account you'd like the goal to be associated with and at what balance it will be complete. Remember you can link to external accounts if you've previously added them to PFM.

• Use the 'How much do I have available to spend?'' link to view your outstanding income and expenses.

No real money is ever locked away from you by choosing this option.

If you receive an email that looks suspicious, please forward it to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

What if I receive a suspicious phone call?

Caller ID information and phone numbers can be spoofed, or faked, so that they appear to come from the Bank's phone number. The best course of action is to hang up and call the Bank directly. If you inadvertently provide information to the caller, please report it to us immediately.

Phishing (pronounced "fishing") is fake email that appears to be from a valid source. The email may contain bank logos and appear to come from First Community Bank, but it was actually sent from an attacker who is trying to gather your personal and confidential information, such as your account number, routing number, social security number, PIN, birth date, etc. If successful, the attacker will use this information to conduct fraud and/or identity theft. If you feel that you are a victim of email phishing, please contact us immediately.

What is a keylogger?

Keyloggers are malicious programs that record keystrokes on a keyboard. The program can also take screenshots of your computer monitor and record your activity. If you believe that you have been infected with a keylogger, please use a safe device to reset your passwords and contact the bank immediately to change your account information.

What is ransomware?

Ransomware is malicious software called malware that infects your computer and prevents access to your files. In order to unlock your files, the malware asks you to pay a ransom. The FBI recommends that affected customers contact the local FBI office immediately at (361) 883-8671. After contacting the FBI, please notify the bank to change your account information.
