Your Safety Online

Online Banking Safety:

• Your login information must be kept confidential. You must follow our specific parameters for a password and change it frequently to ensure that the information cannot be guessed or used by others.
• Be sure others are not watching you enter information on the keyboard when using the system.
• Never leave your computer unattended while logged on to the online banking system. Others may approach your computer and gain access to your account information if you walk away.
• Click Exit when you are finished using the system to properly end your session. Once a session has been ended, no further transactions can be processed until you log on to the system again.
• Close your browser when you are finished, so that others cannot view any account information displayed on your computer.
• Keep your computer free of viruses. Use virus and anti-malware protection software to routinely check for a virus on your computer. Never allow a virus to remain on your computer while accessing the online banking system.

• Always check to ensure the padlock symbol is visible on websites you use before logging into the site.
