Credit. Residential Mortgages are not available through Online Banking.
You have access to Online Banking from any computer or mobile device with Internet
access that meets recommended system requirements.
System Requirements
You can access Online Banking with virtually any PC or Macintosh computer. Other than your computer, you need only a LEADER BANK account,
Access Code (your LEADER BANK account number), a Password and Internet access using
any modern browser (Microsoft® Internet Explorer, FireFox, Google Chrome, Safari, etc).
You will need to use Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 or greater, FireFox® 2.0 or higher, Opera 8.0 or higher, Google Chrome, Safari 2.0 or higher, or Netscape Communicator 7.0 or greater (with 128-bit encryption).
To ensure product functionality and the security of your financial information, we support only those versions of the Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape browsers identified here. Online Banking works best with Internet Explorer 7.0 and a screen resolution setting of 800x600.
Yes, you can access Online Banking with a Macintosh computer.
You must have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed on your computer. Below are instructions on how to update the program and other areas to troubleshoot. If you are still unable to view your eStatements, you should clear your cookies and internet history.
Adobe Reader is the actual software that handles the imaging and printing when using most browsers. Many issues can stem from incorrect or corrupt Adobe Reader installations. This can be resolved by uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader following these steps:
1. Go to Start Menu > Control Panel
2. Open Add or Remove Programs
3. Find and select "Adobe Reader" and click Remove
5. Uncheck the McAfee check box and click on Download Now
6. Follow the onscreen instructions to fully install Adobe Reader
7. Attempt to print and see if the issue has been resolved
Print to File: Occasionally, the issue could reside with the actual printer, or printer driver. To test this, you can follow these steps and print to a file to check and see if the problem still exists when bypassing the printer:
1. Open a statement and select print as you normally would
2. Change the printer to the Microsoft XPS Document Writer and click Print
3. Save the file to the desktop and name it something like statement.xps
4. Go to the desktop and double-click the file to open it
5. Examine the file and see if the same issue occurs when printing to the file
6. Try printing the file to see if the same printing issue occurs
7. If the issue does not occur when printing to a file, the issue is occurring during communication between the printer and the software. To resolve the issue you should install the latest print drivers from the Printer Manufacturer’s website (common manufacturer’s websites are linked below) or try and uninstall and reinstall the printer device

Security
In addition to traditional firewall security and customer-level
password, Online Banking supports the latest in Internet browser technology - 128-bit
encryption. During the encryption process, information is scrambled as it is transmitted
to prevent unauthorized individuals from reading it. The information is then unscrambled
or "decrypted" as it is received. This protects your personal financial information
as it is transmitted both to and from LEADER BANK.
Customer Agreement
No, we at Leader Bank do not use "cookies" on our Web site.
(A "cookie" is a small piece of information, which a Web site stores on your PC's
Web browser and can later retrieve. "Cookies" are used to store a customer's preferences
for certain kinds of information or products.)
Once you have accepted the online banking agreement, you need
to contact your Personal Banker on 781 646 3900. You will obtain your first time
login user name and password from them.
First Time User
Basic Online Banking service is available to you at no charge immediately upon opening an account and accepting the terms in the Online Banking Agreement Disclosure with Leader Bank. There is no application to fill out for the basic Online Banking service. When you use Online Banking for the first time, you will be required to perform a First Time Users log in. You simply enter your Access ID and Password, and with the click of your mouse button, you're in.
Locate the Online Account Login box on the right side of the Leader Bank homepage page, then click "First Time Login".
Before you can use Online Banking, you will be required to read and accept the terms of our Online Banking Customer Service Agreement. When you click "First Time Login", the "First Time Login" screen will be displayed. Type your Access ID and Password* in the appropriate box, and then press ENTER or click the Submit button. On the following page, type your New Access ID and New Password** as desired. Type your new password again to confirm it is correct, and then press ENTER or click the Submit button.
* Your initial Access ID and Password is your bank account number and Telephone Banking password, which is provided to you by Leader Bank. For security purposes, we require that you contact our Customer Information Center at (781) 646-3900 or (877) 691-7900 if you do not know or have not received this information.

Your New Password is case-sensitive and must be a minimum of eight to twelve (8-12) alphanumeric characters including at least two (2) numbers.

Passwords
To log in to Online Banking, you will be required to provide
a "case-sensitive, alphanumeric" password consisting of eight to twelve (8-12) characters,
of which at least two characters must be numeric.
"Case sensitive" means that both upper and lower case letters
are representative of each other (i.e. an "e" is an "e"; an "E" is an "E"). Alphanumeric
means that a combination of letters and numbers are used. For example, if your password
consists of THOMAS21, you must enter the password exactly like that – THOMAS21,
not Thomas21.
For security purposes, you will need to call our Customer Information
Center at (781) 646-3900 or (877) 691-7900.
For security purposes, we require that you change your initial
password immediately during the First Time Users Login. As an additional measure,
you should change your password periodically thereafter. Changing your password
is very simple from anywhere within Online Banking.
Click "Options" in top menu of your Online
Banking screen. Click "Edit" within the"Password" section. Type your Current Password
and New Password in the boxes provided. In the Confirm New Password box, re-type
your New Password to confirm that your entry is correct.
Click the Submit button. Your change is recorded and takes
effect immediately.
If you do not use your Access ID and Password for six (6) months,
it will expire and you will need to perform a First Time User login again.

following procedure from within Internet Explorer. Click Tools (located on the menu
bar). A drop-down menu will appear, click Internet Options. Click the Content tab.

By leaving the Thru date blank, it will export all transactions from the start date
to the current date. This feature ensures there is no duplication in the data you
are exporting.
Finally, click the Export button to complete the process.
A good way to test your output, prior to exporting, is to click
the Display button. This allows you to review all data on the screen. If the data
is correct, simply place a checkmark in the Export box (in the heading row). This
places a checkmark next to all of the transactions displayed. Then select the Export
Format from the available drop-down menu.
The output file will then need to be imported into your personal
financial software. Procedures will vary depending upon the software you have. Refer
to the appropriate help for your software.
The Since Last Log In option will not display if there have
not been any transactions since you last logged in.
