FAQ/Knowledge Base

1. Is Internet Banking safe?

We are serious about and committed to protecting your identity and personal information. We have implemented many new security enhancements including Multi-Factor authentication (referred to as the On-Guard security system on our site), 128 bit SSL encryption of all traffic, including your login information, and improved firewall systems.

We are also pleased to offer self created login IDs so that users are no longer required to use their social security numbers to log in. Our site is also hosted in a SAS 70 certified facility. This certification is assigned by the Federal Government to facilities and systems that meet a rigid set of requirements from multiple firewall protection to physical facility security. SAS 70 sites are also audited by the Government several times each year to verify that they comply with all of the latest standards

The site also employs VeriSign encryption, which encrypts all traffic with 128 bit SSL protection. This encryption also protects our home page login, even though the lock symbol is not displayed in the lower right status bar. This is a commonly used feature on many financial sites.
