Simply put, operating system updates whether big or small are important. Much like changing the oil in your car, brushing your teeth daily or going to a doctor for annual checkups, updates are necessary. Phones, tablets and the software they house require regular updates to ensure they continue to run safely and efficiently.

In addition, the Marion County Bank app requires that your phone be running on newer operating systems to work properly.  Starting June 25, 2017, users of the Marion County Bank app may receive a connection error message if their device’s operating system is out of date. 

If you receive the connection error message, simply update your device’s operating system using the steps below.
