  • You must login to the full site of SBOB
  • The 'Messages' section will advise you that the consolidated account cannot be viewed
  • Use the link under 'Messages' or from the left hand side navigation select Business Services > Manage Consolidated Accounts

  • Once complete, the access to the Consolidated Account will be restored
 
 

Tips for Creating a Strong PAC

  • Your PAC must include at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number and be between 9 to 30 characters long.
  • The following special characters ! # $ ’ ( ) , - . / : ? @ \ | are also permitted, but are optional.
  • Previously used PACs cannot be repeated.
  • To help protect your account, avoid using names, dates or numbers tied to your identity (such as birthday, family name, pets, street).
  • Use a PAC that differs from your other banking, email, and social media accounts.

  • Creating a complex but memorable sentence or sequence of words and numbers will make it harder for others to guess your PAC.
