Security is a common and logical concern with banking and commerce on the Internet. That's why Security Online utilizes the latest technology, which was developed to safeguard data through encryption or coding of information. This creates barriers between systems that can only be crossed with authorized passwords, thereby creating safe pathways to and from each system.

Multiple layers of advanced security tools, including cryptography, firewalls, and trusted operating systems, are used to prevent tampering and ensure the privacy of your account information. Before gaining access to any account information, each individual is authenticated by a personal Access ID and Password, as well as other security techniques.

You will personally select your own alpha-numeric case-sensitive Access ID and password. This means your Access ID and password should contain numbers and both upper and lower case letters. No one else will be able to access your accounts, because your password is known only to you. Using a combination of numbers, and upper and lower case letters (as opposed to numbers only) provides maximum security for the protection of your individual account information.

Certain browsers have the function to store a password for you so that you don't have to remember many passwords.  We STRONGLY urge you NOT to use this feature or disable it entirely to keep your password confidential.  Check the Help section of your particular browser to get specific information on how to disable this feature.  Security Bank accepts no liability for customers who choose to store their password in this fashion for our Online Banking product.

Banks themselves, including the Federal Reserve, transmit billions of dollars electronically every day. Just imagine the security such transfers must require. And it's that type of powerful security, and the knowledge that makes it possible, that is making on-line banking as secure as it is convenient.
