Enhanced features of the new American Bank & Trust Mobile App include Mobile Check Deposit and Mobile Bill Pay. Mobile banking options include, Mobile Web Browser, and a downloadable Mobile Application. *Online banking not available using Internet Explorer browser.

Which mobile banking product should I use?

The American Bank & Trust Mobile App can be downloaded from your official App Store (Apple or Google Play). The free mobile application offers immediate and direct access to your AB&T accounts, and allows you to view balances and account history, transfer funds, pay bills, and make deposits with your Apple or Android mobile device. The Mobile Web Browser allows you to enjoy the same features of the mobile app (with exception of Mobile Check Deposit) without having to download anything to your mobile phone. The mobile browser is accessed through a URL.

Can I use more than one type of mobile banking?

Of course! You may use one, two, or all three mobile banking products depending upon what type of mobile device you have and what you are wishing to accomplish.

Who can use American Bank & Trust Mobile Banking?

Any personal or business banking customer of American Bank & Trust that has an open checking, savings, or loan account can sign up for mobile banking. If you are not a current AB&T online banking customer, you will need to enroll in online banking before you can enroll in mobile banking.

Are there any fees associated with mobile banking?
American Bank & Trust does not charge fees for the use of its mobile banking products; however, in the event that a transfer or bill payment results in an account being overdrawn, or if a deposited check is returned by the bank of first deposit, additional fees may be applied at the account level. We also recommend that you check with your wireless service provider to see if any connectivity or usage rates may apply.
Can I use mobile banking outside the U.S.?
If you are traveling outside of the U.S. and have internet access through your wireless service provider, you should be able to use your previously downloaded mobile app. We recommend that you check with your wireless service provider to see if any connectivity or usage rates may apply.
