Online Banking Security

You have a responsibility to ensure your own security.

• Keep your account information and password secret.
• Do not leave your account information or password in an open area where a passer-by might see it.
• Never leave your computer screen unattended while using Online Banking.
• Always exit Online Banking by clicking "LOG OUT" if you are going to step away from your computer.
• Do not send confidential account information (account number, password, etc.) via e-mail.
• Do not use passwords that incorporate your name, telephone number, address or birth date or those of any close friend or relative.
• Change your Access Code regularly and vary both the text and length each time. If you change your Access Code monthly, don't reuse the same code for at least one year.
• Do not use a password you use for anything else.
• Do not use any part of your ATM card number as your Access Code.
• Use a quality anti-virus program as often as possible.
• Close your Web browser after a banking session or clear your browser's cache.

How do I clear my browser's cache?

If you share a computer and Internet connection with someone, you should be aware of a potential security risk. The other person could view your confidential financial information by hitting the Back button on your Web browser after you have used it to do your banking. You can keep your private information secure by closing your Web browser after your banking session or by clearing your browser's cache. Refer to your browser's help section for instructions on how to do this.
