Secure Communications

Secure Environment

Our computer system does not connect directly to the Internet. It is isolated from the network via a "firewall". A firewall is a combination of software and hardware products that designate parameters, control and limit the access that outside computers have to the banks internal network and databases. You can feel secure knowing that our firewall protects your personal information from unauthorized access.

Secure Login

User ID's and passwords are isolated from the Internet by being stored on our internal system. This way the passwords and ID's can never be accessed or downloaded by anyone on the Internet. Additionally, user passwords can vary from five to ten characters, which means the chance of randomly guessing a password is less than one in 1 billion! The system also checks for invalid logins and automatically disallows a user after three invalid attempts. This prohibits the "hacker" from gaining access to our system thus protecting your accounts.

You will be responsible for maintaining one of the most important security measures, your password. When you choose your online banking password, be sure to keep it a secret. Memorize it, or write it down and keep it in a safe place. It is not recommended you carry your password in your purse or wallet. Make sure no one watches you enter your password and always close your browser when leaving the computer. Regularly scan your computer for viruses that could be used to capture password keystrokes. You ultimately hold the key to your password security, not even a bank employee knows your password.
