We employ strong authentication controls provided to us by the Federal Government’s banking regulators for your protection.
All data, including your ID and password, is protected by our secure network system encrypted with a 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL). The web browser you use must support 128-bit encryption. It’s recommended to use the most current browser because using older browsers can result in limited access to services and reduced functionality. All sessions have a time limit. If your session is inactive for 10 minutes you will need to sign in again. By using firewall systems and intrusion detection software we are adding multiple layers of security to prevent hackers from accessing customer and bank information.
We use security tokens for Business Online banking accounts that use Business Bill Pay or Cash Management features to confirm identity and limit IP addresses to reduce the chance of an outside source gaining access to accounts.
You can also protect yourself by creating strong passwords and never sharing them with anyone. Online banking users are prompted to change passwords every 6 months and will only be allowed 2 invalid sign on attempts before being locked out.
How to Create a Strong Password
When using Online banking, and all other online accounts, be sure to log out when finished. This ensures no one will see your personal information. Installing and regularly updating anti-virus software, anti-spyware and firewalls will protect your electronic devices.
