How to Log In to C&F Bank: Step-by-Step Guide

Five steps from opening your browser to viewing your account dashboard. Total time: approximately 30 seconds on a trusted device, 60-90 seconds with MFA verification.

Step 1: Navigate to the Login Page

Open your web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and type cffc.co.com/login.html in the address bar. Alternatively, go to the C&F Bank homepage and click the "Login" link in the top navigation bar. If using a mobile device, you can also open the C&F Bank mobile app directly. Always verify the URL displays "cffc.co.com" to ensure you are on the legitimate site and not a phishing page.

Step 2: Enter Your Username

Type your C&F Bank online banking username in the Username field. Your username is 8-20 characters and was created during your CFFC online banking enrolment. Usernames are case-sensitive. If you have forgotten your username, click the "Forgot Username" link below the login form to retrieve it via your registered email address.

Step 3: Enter Your Password

Type your password in the Password field. Passwords must be at least 10 characters with mixed case, at least one number and one special character. Passwords are case-sensitive and do not display as you type. If you have forgotten your password, see the password reset instructions below. Do not store your password in plain text or share it with anyone, including C&F Bank employees.

Step 4: Complete Multi-Factor Authentication

After submitting your username and password, the system verifies your identity through a second factor. On a new or unrecognised device, you will receive a one-time code via SMS, email or your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy or Microsoft Authenticator). Enter the code within 5 minutes. On the mobile app with biometrics enabled, authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID or fingerprint instead.

Step 5: Access Your Dashboard

After successful authentication, your CFFC online banking dashboard loads showing real-time balances across all accounts, recent transactions, pending payments and quick-access links to bill pay, wire transfers, eStatements and account alerts. Your session remains active for 10 minutes after your last interaction. After that, you will need to log in again.

Optional: Register a Trusted Device

After your first successful login on a new device, the system asks if you want to register it as trusted. Trusted devices skip the MFA code step on future logins (though biometric verification is still required on mobile). Only register devices you own and control. You can view and remove trusted devices from your security settings at any time through online banking.

Forgot Your Password? How to Reset C&F Bank Login Credentials

Password resets are self-service and take about two minutes.

Self-Service Password Reset

Click "Forgot Password" on the C&F Bank login page. Enter the email address registered on your account. Within 60 seconds, you will receive an email containing a one-time verification link. Click the link (valid for 15 minutes) and create a new password. Requirements: minimum 10 characters, mixed upper and lower case, at least one number and one special character. Your new password cannot match any of your previous 12 passwords.

After resetting, you can immediately log in with your new password. The system will require full MFA verification on your next login regardless of trusted device status — this is a security precaution to ensure the password change was authorised.

Account Locked? What to Do

Your C&F Bank login locks automatically after 5 consecutive failed password attempts. This is a security feature that protects against brute-force attacks. The lock lasts 30 minutes, after which you can try again. If you cannot remember your credentials, use the Forgot Password link rather than guessing repeatedly.

If your account remains locked or you cannot complete the self-service reset (for example, if you no longer have access to your registered email), call C&F Bank customer service at 804-843-2360. A representative will verify your identity through security questions and manually reset your credentials. Service hours: Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm ET, Saturday 9am to 12pm ET.

Login Security Best Practices

Protect your C&F Bank login credentials with these recommended practices from the FDIC.

Use a Unique, Strong Password

Your C&F Bank password should not be used for any other website or service. If another site is breached and you reuse the same password, your banking credentials are compromised. Use a password manager to generate and store unique, complex passwords for every account. C&F Bank requires 10+ characters with mixed case, a number and a special character — but longer is better. A 16-character password is exponentially harder to crack than a 10-character one.

Enable Biometric Login on Mobile

Biometric authentication on the C&F Bank mobile app is both more convenient and more secure than typing a password on a small screen. Face ID and fingerprint are extremely difficult to spoof, and the biometric data never leaves your device. Enable it in app settings after your first login. If you are concerned about a scenario where biometrics could be compromised (phone theft with coercion), you can disable it at any time and revert to password-only access.

Verify the URL Before Logging In

Phishing sites mimic the C&F Bank login page to steal credentials. Before entering your username and password, confirm the browser address bar shows cffc.co.com with a padlock icon indicating a secure connection. Never click login links in unexpected emails or text messages. Instead, type the URL directly or use your browser bookmark. If you receive a suspicious communication claiming to be from C&F Bank, report it to 804-843-2360.

Review Your Trusted Devices Regularly

Navigate to Security Settings in your online banking account periodically and review the list of trusted devices. Remove any devices you no longer own or use — old phones, retired laptops, a work computer from a previous job. Keeping your trusted device list current ensures that only your active, controlled devices can bypass MFA code verification.
