The Trico Business Express app brings Tri Counties Bank business banking to iPhone, iPad, and Android devices. This page is the download and setup walkthrough — where to get the app, what to expect on first launch, how credentials carry over from the web portal, how to enroll biometric login, and how to troubleshoot common install-time problems. Once set up, the app serves as the mobile surface for the same business banking features available on the desktop web portal, with additional mobile-exclusive features like check deposit via camera and push alerts for payment approvals.
The app is free. Existing Trico Business Express credentials activate the app — the install itself does not create accounts. Users without credentials need to contact the company administrator first for provisioning through the account management module on the web portal. Once credentials exist, install takes about three minutes, initial login another two minutes with MFA and biometric enrollment, and the user is ready for everyday mobile banking thereafter.

Four steps get a user from empty phone to active mobile banking session.
Open the Apple App Store on iOS or Google Play Store on Android. Search 'Trico Business Express'. Confirm the publisher name is Tri Counties Bank before tapping install. Links from the Tri Counties Bank website redirect to the correct listing. Avoid APK files from third-party sources — that's a common malware vector against business banking users. Install takes about a minute depending on network speed. App size is approximately 85 MB on iOS and 75 MB on Android.
Open the app. The welcome screen prompts for company ID, user ID, and password — the same credentials used on the web portal. Type each field carefully (all are case-sensitive). Tap Sign In. If you don't have credentials, stop here and contact the company administrator to provision a user ID before proceeding. The app does not self-register new users.
After correct credentials, the system sends a six-digit verification code by SMS, email, or authenticator app based on your existing MFA enrollment. Enter the code within 10 minutes to complete authentication. First login from a new device may trigger additional step-up authentication to confirm the device belongs to the authorized user. Once complete, the app registers the device and associates it with your user ID.
The app offers biometric enrollment after first successful authentication. Opt in to Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint to enable faster login on subsequent sessions. The biometric template itself never leaves the device secure enclave — only an authentication token is stored. Password plus MFA remains as fallback when biometrics fail. Decline the biometric prompt if desired; standard password plus MFA works indefinitely.

The app enforces the same security stack as the web portal plus mobile-specific defenses.
The app refuses to run on jailbroken iPhones or rooted Android devices because the OS security model they depend on is compromised. Certificate pinning blocks man-in-the-middle attacks on rogue Wi-Fi hotspots. 256-bit TLS encrypts every connection. Screenshots of sensitive screens are blocked to prevent accidental leaks. The app locks with biometric or password after 5 minutes of background state. On first launch from a new device, step-up authentication confirms device ownership beyond credentials alone.
The company administrator sees every device enrolled for every user — device type, OS version, last login, and geolocation. Lost or stolen devices deactivate from the admin console instantly, revoking any stored authentication token. Employees leaving the company have their user ID and all associated devices deactivated as part of offboarding. Users can self-manage their enrolled device list from the app settings. Regulatory guidance from the OCC supports device-level controls as part of commercial banking security.
Free in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Existing Trico Business Express credentials activate the app. Call +1-800-922-8742 for install or activation support.
