3. How secure is Online Banking?
Online Banking requires a browser using 128-bit encryption. This is the highest level of encryption available. Imagine sending a friend a letter. For us it's as simple as dropping it in a mailbox for the carrier to pick up and deliver. Now imagine that instead of just dropping it into the mailbox, you put the letter through a shredder that only you have the key to and then into the mailbox. And instead of one carrier coming to pick it up, the post office sends 128 carriers to each take a piece of your letter. They each go on their own route through all sorts of neighborhoods to your friend's house. Once there, your friend takes this pile of incomprehensible paper, puts it through a reverse shredder that they only have a key to and out comes your letter, safe and sound.
From the login screen to the sign off screen, Online Banking is a secure connection.
Tips for keeping Online Banking secure
- Use the latest version of a supported browser, depending on your operating system.
- Keep your password confidential. Change it frequently to ensure that no one else can guess it and do not let anyone else use it.
- Never walk away from your computer without exiting the system first. When you are finished with your banking, click the Sign Off button located at the left navigational toolbar. Once you have ended your session, no further transactions can be processed until you sign on to the system again.
