Password Requirement
Do I need to change my Customer ID when I change my password?
If you have forgotten your password, click on "Forgot your password" from the Online Banking log in page. You will then be asked to confirm your personal identifiable information that we have on file. Please provide the information that is requested and click "Continue." Once the information is verified, you will be given the opportunity to choose a new password.
How do I change my password and Customer ID?
You may change your password and Customer ID through Online Banking by clicking "My Profile" under "Customer Service", then "Password or Customer ID". You will be asked to verify your current password or Customer ID and to select a new password or Customer ID. As you select a new password or Customer ID, please refer to the guidelines above.
Why should you change your password at least annually?
Commerce Bank takes a layered approach in protecting your information, and passwords are a critical component to protecting your accounts. Given evolving cyber security threats, online customers should utilize stronger password practices, including using more complex passwords, and changing passwords more frequently.
How do I choose a secure Customer ID and password?
For your protection, please keep in mind the following guidelines as you select a Customer ID or password for Online Banking through the Internet:
- Customer ID Requirements: Your Customer ID must be between 6 and 32 characters. It should include both letters and numbers. It is not case sensitive. It may not contain special characters, and it cannot be the same as your Password.
- Password Requirements: Your password must be between 8 and 32 characters. It is case sensitive, and must contain a mixture of lower-case letters, upper-case letters, at least one number and at least one of the following special characters: - ' . , @ : ? ! ( ) $ \ / % ^ * + | { } [ ] ~ ` # .
- Additional password recommendations:
- To increase the security of your Online Banking, your password must not contain any letter or number repeated 3 or more times consecutively, such as AAA or 111.
- It should not include any part of your name or initials or any four consecutive numbers of your social security number, phone number or address.
- Do not use common words, or words that can be found in the dictionary.
- Do not write down your password or share it with others.
- Use passwords that are easy for you to remember, but difficult for anyone else to guess. Personal information such as your birthdate, address, or child’s name can easily be discovered by anyone who knows you or has access to your wallet. o Try using a favorite sport or hobby to create a "passphrase" – a password made up of several words, such as, "I enjoy baseball" can be "IEnj0iB@s3ba11".
- Or, think of a phrase you like and convert it to a password by using the first letter of each word (as well as numbers) and mixing upper- and lower-case and special characters. Such as "My cat Fluffy is two years old", so your password could be "McFi2YO."
- Use different passwords for different systems. That way, if one becomes compromised, the others remain secure.
- Change your password periodically. Security sites recommend your password be changed every 30-60 days.
What if I still need help with my password?
Contact Online Banking Customer Service by calling 800-986-2265. Password resets are available anytime by calling 800-986-2265 and selecting option 1.

Your pending transactions are updated in real time. These include transactions made at a Commerce ATM, in the teller line, and for certain Visa® Debit Card transactions.

How is my financial information protected?
Protecting the privacy and security of your confidential financial information is a top priority. Online Banking uses security levels with end-to-end encryption. Like an ATM "PIN", your accounts are protected with a Customer ID and Password which you should not write down or disclose to anyone. To gain a greater level of protection, we recommend changing your Customer ID and Password on a regular basis. Only you should know your private Customer ID and password, so you can help protect your data. Your Customer ID and password are NOT known to your Internet service provider or to Commerce Bank.
How do I change my email or mailing address?
You may change your email address, mailing address and phone number in the "My Profile" section of "Customer Service" inside of Online Banking. You'll need to change your email address in Online Bill Pay as well.
