Online security
Some people hesitate to start with online banking. It’s important to deal with a financial institution that takes online security seriously. In addition, as an online banking customer, there are simple steps you can follow to protect your information, accounts and money.
Our policies protect you as a personal internet banking customer against any transactions you did not make or approve. This is all part of our fraud prevention and identity theft policy.
To make sure you’re fully protected, follow a few simple procedures:
- Use strong passwords for personal online banking accounts and all other online accounts. Strong passwords combine upper- and lower-case letters, numbers and special characters. They should not be based on names of family members, pets or any other personal information that someone could find out or guess easily.
- Use a different password for every account.
- Keep all of your banking credentials, passwords and personal identification numbers (PINs) confidential. Don’t even tell your spouse or other family members. They need their own access, passwords and PINs to access online banking, even if it’s for joint accounts.
- Check your transactions and statements frequently for unauthorized transactions or amounts.
- Notify us immediately if you spot anything suspicious.
- Read our Recommended Financial and Information Security Practices for Online Banking Customers.
