Business Mobile Banking is a way to access your bank accounts with your mobile phone. The app, Amalgamated Treasury Manager, is a downloadable application through the App Store or Google Play.

The downloadable application is customized for use on your mobile phone device which allows for one touch access. It offers most of the features as AOTM. You can easily move between screens to complete the following actions:

  • View accounts including balances and transaction history
  • Make transfers between savings, checking and loan accounts; the same transfers available in AOTM
  • Pay bills or change/cancel any pending payments
  • Deposit checks
  • Approve wire, ACH, positive pay items, templates, user profiles, and transfers
  • Make and receive payments using Zelle®

We can help you find your user and/or company ID or help with an access reset for your account. Contact your Account Executive or Branch for assistance. 

You can see your account description and their running balance; furthermore, you can see the recent transactions for each account.

Business Mobile BillPay allows you to pay bills online, saving you time, envelopes and stamps. It is an optional service on your mobile banking portal (AOTM) and the app. You may pay bills using your mobile device while on-the-go, anytime, anywhere.

You enroll for BillPay through your online banking portal, AOTM. Once enrolled, you will be able to access BillPay on your mobile device. You must be enrolled for, both, online banking (AOTM) and BillPay before you may use Business Mobile Banking and Business Mobile BillPay. Fees may apply.

You may create and authorize a payment not requiring multiple authority. Depending on the Payee's capabilities, payments are issued via paper checks or electronically. Both payment forms include remittance information as provided for the Payee on your online banking (AOTM) to ensure your Payee may recognize the account to credit.
