User Access
eAdvantage is a private, secure site that requires members to have a user ID and password. New members must complete the eAdvantage Terms and Conditions of Use Agreement in order to gain access to the secure system.
eAdvantage Administrators
Each member assigns a minimum of two individuals to be administrators. Members can request to update or add eAdvantage administrators by completing the eAdvantage Administration Form found in eAdvantage.
eAdvantage Users
To access eAdvantage, members must work with their eAdvantage administrators. Administrators control access to eAdvantage by adding and deleting users for their member institution and can also manage and change user access permissions as needed within eAdvantage.
If you have questions regarding the eAdvantage Administrator process, or identifying your eAdvantage Administrator, please contact memberservices@fhlbdm.com or 800.544.3452 ext. 2200.
Maintenance Windows
eAdvantage has two daily maintenance windows from 8:00 PM (CT) - 8:30 PM (CT) and 6:30 AM (CT) - 7:00 AM (CT). The system may also undergo occasional longer maintenance windows for system updates on weekends and at the Bank’s discretion. eAdvantage may be unavailable during these times and users may receive an "eAdvantage is currently offline" notification.
Reporting-Only Mode
eAdvantage goes into Reporting-Only Mode at the start of the first maintenance window (8:00 PM CT) and back into Full Availability at 7:00 AM (CT). This means information is in a "read only" state and the user will be unable to receive responses from the Bank until the next business day. Advance Transactions and Account Transfers will not be allowed during reporting-only hours.
Online Transaction Security
To ensure only authorized personnel are initiating advance transactions within eAdvantage, additional verification is required. Learn more »
Email Notifications
Each institution can receive an email notification each time an advance is processed. This email notification is sent to a list of individuals that the User Administrator has specified. This notification will be sent for all advances regardless of how they are requested (through eAdvantage or by phone). Please follow the steps below to setup advance email notifications for your institution.
- From the eAdvantage homepage, click on the “Confirmations & Notifications” link on the right-hand side of the page.
