Once you have logged into Meriwest Online, you have begun an “active session”. If you walk away during an active session, someone else can use your computer to perform transactions involving your accounts. It’s like walking away from the ATM and leaving your card in the machine. Meriwest Online Bill Pay starts a separate “active session”. For your protection, if there is no activity on your computer for 20 minutes, Meriwest Online and Meriwest Online Bill Pay will automatically end your active session. However, it’s always better to end your session by clicking on “Exit”.
