Smart and Secure: CFB Digital Banking Is the Safer Way to Send Money
In today’s fast-moving digital world, sending money online has never been easier—but it’s also never been more important to do it securely. With peer-to-peer (P2P) payment apps like Venmo and PayPal gaining popularity, many people are wondering: Are these services really safe? It’s a smart question.
At Citizens First Bank, we applaud your thoughtful approach to digital payments. While platforms like Venmo and PayPal offer convenience, they’re not backed or regulated by the FDIC. That means if something goes wrong—like fraud or a scam—your money may not be protected in the same way it would be with your community bank.
We recommend using the secure tools built right into your CFB Digital Banking experience. Our in-app P2P payment option lets you send money to friends, family, and others—all within the trusted environment you already use for everyday banking. No third-party accounts, no risky links, just secure, straightforward transfers.
Our External Transfer feature makes it easy to move money between your Citizens First Bank account and an account at another bank. The best part? You don’t need to download another app, remember more passwords, or worry about hidden fees. Whether you’re paying the sitter, splitting a dinner bill, or moving money to savings, our digital banking tools make it easy and secure.
If you have questions about getting started with P2P or external transfers in CFB Digital Banking, we are here to help.
Your money, your way—safely. That’s banking as it should be.
