You will be able to check your balance and view transactions, but you will not be able to transfer funds, pay bills, move money, deposit checks inside the app, etc. This will ensure that transactions do not get lost inside the upgrade over the next few days. If you set up a transfer or bill pay prior to December 1, those actions WILL still happen during "View Only" mode.
