United Community Bank maintains rigorous security standards and procedures regarding unauthorized access to customer information. We allow the customer to choose their own unique Login ID and Password that identify the customer when logging on to Online Banking. The customer is required to select a target which will be their phone number as a call or text to receive a Secure Access Code (SAC). You will then enter the code on the Secure Access Code screen to gain access to Online Banking. In relation to technology, United uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for transferring data and the highest type of encryption 128bit. SSL is the technology used to make sure that users establish sessions only with secure Internet sites. It protects data with (1) authentication, which ensures that the customer is actually communicating with the bank and not someone impersonating the bank, (2) encryption, the scrambling of transferred data so that account information cannot be intercepted and read by a third party and (3) data integrity, the verification that the information sent by the customer to the bank has not been altered during the transfer.    

For Personal Account Holders: When you enroll using your primary account, you should see all accounts on which you are a signer and that are linked together. If you do not see all of your accounts, they may not be linked. For assistance, contact Customer Support at 1-800-UCBANK1 (1-800-822-2651). They will help you gain access to all of your accounts.

The Secure Access Code (SAC) is used as a security method to prevent someone other than you from gaining access to your account.

When logging in to Digital Banking for the first time from any (unrecognized) computer or mobile device, you will be asked to select a "target" (text message or phone call depending on what contact information we have on file for you) to receive your Secure Access Code. Once you receive the temporary Secure Access Code from United Community Bank, enter it in the space provided in the login screen. You will be asked if you would like to register the computer/device you are using. Once you have registered your device, you will not be prompted for a Secure Access Code with future logins. However, if the computer you use is public or one which you do not regularly use, we recommend for your security that you “do not register” the device. View the Digital Demo here.

PLEASE NOTE: If your computer is set to automatically delete browser history, even if you have already registered your device, you will need to add ucbi.com as a trusted site in your internet settings to avoid obtaining a secure access code at each log-in.

If you need additional support, please contact us.

Your security is our top priority. But we need your help.

To ensure that your financial information is secure whenever you use the Internet, we’re asking you to take a few minutes right now to make sure you’re using the most current version of your Web browser. That’s because the browser—the software application that lets you surf the Web—also plays a huge role in protecting you and the data you choose to share when you’re online. The most common browsers are Microsoft Internet Explorer®, Mozilla Firefox®, Google Chrome™ and Safari®.

As online fraud and theft evolves, browsers must become more secure with each new version. That’s why companies that provide Web browsers continually release patches to stay one step ahead of fraudsters. So it’s vital that individual users, like you, routinely apply the upgrades to stay protected-on your smartphone, tablet and computer.

Always using a current Web browser is vital to keeping the information you share and the sites you visit secure. This includes the financial information you view and exchange while using Online Banking. Knowing you’re using the most current version is one of the best ways to give yourself peace of mind.

There are many versions in use today that provide adequate protection. If you’re using any of these you’re in great shape:

Android Mobile Operating System (OS): version 5.0 (Lollipop) and higher are supported
Microsoft Internet Explorer® 11.0 or higher supported only through January 14, 2020. Please update your browser before that time for a secure online banking experience.
Microsoft Edge: all versions supported
Google Chrome™ 38.0 or higher
Mozilla Firefox® 27 or higher
Apple Desktop Safar version 7 and higher for OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) and higher
Apple Mobile Safar version 5 and higher for iOS 5 and higher

If you’re unsure which version you’re using, please refer to the browser identifier on our support page which displays the browser you are currently using to access this page. You may also check with the browser provider to make sure it’s current. To do this, simply visit the website of your preferred provider and navigate to their updates/patches.

If you have questions or need assistance updating your browser, please contact us during business hours at 1-800-822-2651.

There are several reasons this may happen. Most commonly this occurs when your browser settings are setup to delete cookies, or your browser cookie for Online Banking has been deleted since your last login. This can also happen if you are logging in with a different browser on the same registered device. You may have a program on your device that automatically deletes the cookie and that feature would need to be turned off or configured to accept and retain cookies from United Community Bank.

If you would like to skip the need to enter a Secure Access Code on future visits, you will need to register your device, by selecting 'Register Device' during your initial login process. You will also need to ensure your browser is not set to automatically delete cookies when you go to register your device.

Mobile Deposit

Yes. United Community Bank maintains rigorous security standards and we have measures set up to review and stop the deposit (at the mobile device) if we detect specific concerns related to fraud or potential threat to your account security.    

United Community Mobile App users do not need to enroll in Mobile Deposit. If you already have the United Community Mobile App (and the account is designated as eligible) the Mobile Deposit function will automatically be activated and  available the month following your enrollment and a deposit icon will automatically appear on the app screen. 

Preparing to deposit a check using the Mobile Banking App is easy! Simply endorse the check in the specified area on the back of the check. The endorsement should be signed exactly as made out on the front. (For example, a check made out to ‘Johnny Smith’ should not be endorsed ‘John Smith.’) View the Digital Demo here.

Helpful tips:

  • After taking a photo of the front and back of the check and verifying that it has been reviewed and accepted, you may want to date and write ‘Mobile Deposit’ on the front of the check to help you remember that the check has already been deposited.
  • We suggest that you keep the check for 45 days at which point you can then safely destroy or shred it.

If a Mobile Deposit is rejected at the time a deposit is attempted, you will receive a message on your mobile device with a reason for the rejection. If a deposit is rejected in the processing stage, customers can contact Customer Support for verification.

There is no charge for making Mobile Deposits.

Message and data rates may apply. Please check with your mobile carrier for details.

Although you must deposit one check at a time, there is no limit to the number of checks you can deposit per day. The default maximum dollar amount that can be deposited in a business day is $2500 (single or combined transactions). Mobile Deposit eligibility and limits are based on your specific relationship with the bank, such as, account balances, responsible account usage, etc. If you need to raise or lower the mobile deposit limit, contact your UCB branch for that request.

United Community Bank reserves the right to modify or discontinue this service at any time.

No, the check has to go through a review and approval process before it goes into your account. If approved, it should go into your account the next business day as long as you made the deposit before 5:00pm.

Note: To help ensure a timely process, it is encouraged that checks requiring next day deposit be deposited at least 15 minutes prior to the 5:00pm cut off time. Some checks require longer to process, as such, some checks deposited too close to the 5:00pm deadline may not show up until some time after the following business day.

Every check deposited will be reviewed for accuracy of the endorsement and deposit amount. Your deposit will not appear in your transaction history while the deposit is pending. It will appear in the transaction history once it is accepted and available for withdrawal. Remember, it’s your responsibility to view the account deposit history to see if the deposit was accepted or rejected.

Mobile Deposit is an additional feature of United Community Banks Mobile App. This feature gives you the ability to deposit checks from your mobile device by taking a picture of the front and back of the check, then submitting these images for deposit. View the Digital Demo here.

Note: This feature is currently available only for iPhone/iPad® and Android/Tablet™ devices.

Message and data rates may apply. Please check with your mobile carrier for details.

Whether you’re looking for a loan to finance a car, home improvements, or anything else, a loan calculator can help you answer the question, “Can I afford this?”

An online lending calculator is a quick and easy way to get an idea of how a loan could fit into your budget. These calculators let you plug in different loan amounts, interest rates, and terms. In seconds, you can get a good idea of how much your monthly payments might be and how long it might take to pay off the loan.

Start calculating:

Debt consolidation loans combine multiple loans and lines of credit, including credit cards, into one monthly payment with a lower interest rate.  

Pros:

  • Lower interest rate
  • Simplified payment process
  • Ability to pay down debt faster
  • Potential to improve your credit score
Cons:
  • Loan origination fees and closing costs
  • Temptation to take out more debt on the consolidation loan
To learn more, read the article: The Pros and Cons of Debt Consolidation.
 

When you borrow money to buy a car, you’ll pay it back monthly plus interest and fees. The lender will own the title until the loan is paid off. They can also repossess the car if auto loan payments aren’t made.

Check out this article to learn more: What to Know About Auto Loans.
 

The amount you’ll pay each month depends on:

  • The total amount of your auto loan
  • How long the loan is (number of years, or term)
  • Annual percentage rate (APR), which includes interest and fees
Your APR will be based on:
  • Your credit score
  • Whether you’re buying a new or used car
  • The length of your loan
You can reduce the amount you’ll owe by:
  • Increasing your down payment
  • Trading in an old car, with its value going toward your down payment
  • Improving your credit score to lower your APR
Use our auto loan calculator to see what your monthly payments might look like.

You’ll need to have these items on hand: 

  • Driver’s license information
  • Pay stubs
  • Social Security Number
The auto loan process is typically quick and straightforward. Your lender will check your credit history and review your income and expenses.

Mortgage

Stop by one of our locations near you to speak with a loan officer or use our locator tool to find a mortgage loan officer.

If you'd like to speak with one of our customer support representatives, please call us at 1-800-UCBANK1 (1-800-822-2651).

Mortgage lenders like United take several factors into consideration, including your credit score, debt-to-income ratio, employment history, and assets. You can get a free copy of your credit report every 12 months from each of the three nationwide credit bureaus—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion—by visiting www.annualcreditreport.com.

It will depend on a number of factors, including the interest rate, how much you have for a down payment, your current income, and your current debt.

The interest rate on a fixed-rate mortgage stays the same throughout the life of the loan. With a fixed-rate mortgage, you don’t have to worry about your rate going up and causing a bigger monthly payment than you’ve planned on.  

The interest rate on a fixed-rate mortgage stays the same throughout the life of the loan. With a fixed-rate mortgage, you don’t have to worry about your rate going up and causing a bigger monthly payment than you’ve planned on.  

The interest rate on an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) can chane over time. Usually, the rate is lower than the market rate for the fixed-rate period of the loan typically seven to ten years, and then it’s adjusted on a set schedule based on the current market rate.

The schedule will be in your loan terms. Adjustments may be madeevery six months. Some ARMs come with a cap on how much interest you’ll be expected to pay so you have an idea of how high your payment may rise.

 

You can change, but you’ll need to refinance through a new loan, which will come with closing costs and appraisal fees. Work with your mortgage lender to fully understand the math of what you’ll be spending and what you’ll be saving.

Conventional loans are offered by banks and other private lenders with no guarantee from the government that they’ll be paid back. Government-backed loans are also offered by banks and other private lenders, but the government guarantees they’ll re-pay the loan if the borrower doesn’t.

There are three types of government-backed mortgages:

  • FHA loans are guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration to make homebuying more affordable, especially for first-time homebuyers. FHA loans have lower interest rates and lower credit score and downpayment requirements than conventional loans.
  • VA loans are guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs to help active-duty service members and veterans buy a home. VA loans have lower interest rates and credit score requirements than conventional loans. There’s no down-payment or private mortgage insurance (PMI) requirement.
  • USDA loans are guaranteed by the US Department of Agriculture to stimulate development in rural areas. USDA loans have lower interest rates and credit score requirements than conventional loans and no down-payment requirement.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) sets the maximum amount mortgage loans should be to conform to their underwriting guidelines. It’s possible to qualify for a higher amount through non-conforming jumbo loans.

These loans are riskier for the lender and usually come with higher interest rates and higher standards for credit scores. You may need a low debit-to-income ratio and an excellent credit score above 700 to qualify. You may also need to show you have cash reserves to cover the first six months or year of mortgage payments.

United Community offers our PATH loan to help more people buy homes, especially in underserved communities. (PATH stands for “Possibilities Achieved Through Homeownership.”)

PATH loans don’t have a down-payment requirement, meaning you can move forward with buying a home even if you haven’t saved up for a down-payment. PATH also doesn’t have a private mortgage insurance requirement, so more of the money you pay each month goes toward paying down the money you borrowed to buy the home.

A doctor loan, also known as a physician mortgage or medical professional mortgage, is a loan designed for the unique financial situation of medical professionals, like doctors, dentists, optometrists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and veterinarians who are looking to buy a home. Medical professionals often have high student loan debt and inconsistent income, especially when they’re just starting out.

Medical professional mortgages often have more generous debt-to-income ratio requirements and lower down-payment requirements than conventional loans. They may also not require private mortgage insurance (PMI).

It's a letter from a mortgage lender like United that provides an estimate of the amount you pre-qualify for based on financial information you have provided so far. You can use the letter to show real estate agents and home sellers that you’re a serious homebuyer. It’s not a guarantee that your loan will be approved, but it indicates you’re well on your way.

After you apply for a loan, your mortgage loan originator will ask if you want to lock in your interest rate. It’s a lender’s guarantee that your interest rate won’t change for a certain period of time, even if market rates go up. The lock is a holding period designed to last throughout the mortgage process and closing day.

New home construction loans are available to qualified borrowers who are building instead of buying. They usually have a shorter term and a higher interest rate than mortgages for existing homes. The term is typically one year, and the construction has to be finished in that timeframe.

To qualify for a home construction loan, you’ll need to provide a construction agreement, a detailed construction schedule, and a complete construction budget.

You can use a home renovation loan to make your home more comfortable, add living space, or increase its value. Common renovations are remodeling kitchens and bathrooms, upgrading windows and doors, adding outdoor decks or pools, and finishing an attic or basement.

Take a look at 5 home improvement projects that pay off.
 

With a cash-out refinance, you can turn your home equity into cash for any purpose, not just home improvements. Common reasons for a cash-out refinance are consolidating higher-interest credit card debt at a lower interest rate and paying for higher education.

With a cash-out refinance, the amount of your loan and your monthly payments will go up, but the interest rate on the cash you take out may be lower than other alternatives.

To learn more, check out this article: How Does a Cash-Out Refi Work?
 

You don’t. There are two other options: a home equity loan (HELoan) and a home equity line of credit (HELOC).

A HELoan is a second mortgage that usually has a fixed interest rate and monthly payments of the same amount every month. A HELOC works more like a credit card, but the interest rate is typically lower than a credit card.

You have a maximum amount you can borrow as needed. HELOCs usually have a variable interest rate and monthly payments that may go up or down.

Take a closer look at the differences: Should You Consider a HELOC or HELoan?

Do your best to pay your bills on time and keep your credit card balances as low as you can. As you pay off credit cards, keep them open to show your good payment track record. If you’re in trouble with credit card debt, consider talking to a credit counselor.

Get seven more tips for improving your credit score.

You can make extra mortgage payments or extra payments on mortgage principal to pay off your mortgage faster. Consider putting financial windfalls like tax refunds toward your mortgage. Other ways include refinancing at a lower interest rate or for a shorter term.

Amortization, escrow, FICO score. Learning about the mortgage process can feel like learning a whole new language. We’ve put together this mortgage glossary to help with the translation. Bookmark it for quick reference and ask your mortgage lender as many questions as it takes to make homebuying decisions with confidence.
