Q. What is NetTeller?
The NetTeller service, from Gulf Coast Bank, allows you to access your Gulf Coast Bank accounts and obtain balance information, perform account transfers and statement retrieval, download account history or transactions, stop payments, and pay bills all via the Internet. You can also send secure email to the Bank.
Q. How do I get started?
Internet Online Banking services from Gulf Coast Bank are best viewed with Microsoft Explorer using one of the two latest versions. The browser must support 128-bit SSL encryption. If your browser does not support 128-bit, you will not be allowed to access NetTeller.
To begin using NetTeller, you must complete an application by visiting any one of our locations. Gulf Coast Bank will assign you a NetTeller ID and Password to use when signing on to the system. Once you sign on to NetTeller, you will be prompted to create your own unique Password. The Password must consist of 8-25 characters and you must use alpha, numeric and supported special characters.
During the initial login you are required to set up a question and answer for the "Self Password Reset" function at the login site. By doing this you will be able to reset your own password anytime, day, or night, provided you have a valid email address.
Q. How can you guarantee the security of my banking information?
We follow strict standards to allow for a secure online banking experience. A few of these standards are listed below:
- Your banking information never travels the Internet without encrypted protection.
- Login sessions have a time-out limit requiring you to log in again once the limit is reached. You will be warned 1 minute before the timeout takes affect.
- Password guessing is deterred and reported.
- Internet security is not a once and for all task. Security enhancements are constantly being developed and implemented for NetTeller to ensure the integrity of our Internet Banking System.
- Multi-factor Authentication practices are used to identify the user access, which requires security question set up.
Q. What can I do to protect my account and personal information while I’m banking online?
- Memorize your password.
- Your NetTeller ID and Password verifies you when you begin an online banking session with Gulf Coast Bank.
- Do not write down your password or reveal it to anyone.
- Change your password regularly.
- It is recommended that you do not use the feature on your browser to "Save Your Password". This may allow an unauthorized person to access your account information.
- Remember to sign off. You may not always be at your own computer when you bank online. Therefore, it’s important to log-off when you’re finished banking or leave the room for a few minutes while in an open banking session. For your protection, Gulf Coast Bank automatically logs you off after 10 minutes of inactivity.
- Use built-in security features of your browser. Gulf Coast Bank recommends that you use the built-in security features that some browsers provide. Choosing certain security settings and options will help protect the privacy of your accounts and personal information. The Help Option or Properties on your browser should provide you with the security options available on your system.
- If you feel your NetTeller ID or Password has been stolen and compromised, notify the Electronic Banking Department immediately at (337) 893-7733 but also know that you have the ability to change your password yourself, immediately by going to your Customer Profile within your ID login.
Q. I’m having trouble signing on. What am I doing wrong?
More than likely you forgot your password or you entered an invalid password. Each customer is allowed three invalid sign-on attempts before the system locks him or her out. You must then contact the bank to unlock your NetTeller ID.
If you have forgotten your password, you must contact the Bank's Call Center at (337) 893-7733 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. After proper verification, the Call Center will give you instructions regarding your password.
When having your password reset, for your next login you will have to use the password that is assigned by the Bank and create a new one.
Q. I forgot my NetTeller ID number. What do I do now?
You will have to contact the Call Center at (337) 893-7733 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
Q. I created an alias for my NetTeller customer ID number, but can’t remember it. How do I get into the system?
Simply use the original NetTeller ID number that was assigned to you when you opened your NetTeller account. Once you are logged in, the system will show you the alias, under Customer Profile and/or you can create a new one, at this point.
Q. The system has stopped accepting my commands and the login screen appeared.
The system may have been idle for 10 minutes or longer. For security purposes, the system is set with a default feature for a 10-minute time-out. If the system is not used for 10 minutes, the user will be inactive and will have to log in again. You will be warned 1 minute before the timeout takes effect.

The transfer cut-off time is 7:00 p.m., CST on business days. Business days are Monday through Friday, and do not include holidays or bank declared holidays. Transfers performed after 7:00 p.m. may be posted on the next business day.
Q. If the system shows an error during a transfer, what do I do?
Do not immediately “re-enter” the transfer. The transfer may have already been posted, and the confirmation number was lost in transit. First, check the account the transfer was drawn on, and then check the account status of the account transferred to. If no debits or credits appear on your accounts, then the transfer was incomplete. Only then should you “re-enter” the transfer.
