Internet Banking Security
When it comes to your money, we know that security is the number one issue. With
our state-of-the-art Internet Banking solution, your money is extremely safe. We
have paired with FundsXpress, a proven and established provider. As one of the first major service bureaus to offer online banking, security
experts at FundsXpress have built a security system from the ground up that
safeguards your money and keeps your account information private. They take extra
measures of protection by utilizing high-end fire walls and exclusive encryption
software to prevent outside interference.
SAFE ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY
Standards are high, and if a browser isn't secure enough for online
banking, FundsXpress will not permit it to be used to conduct banking
sessions. No logins are allowed on the Internet without authenticated,
encrypted connections. The banking server sits on a physically secure
network. Our security team constantly monitors attempts to break into our
security system to make sure your account information is safe and secure.
What type of security do you offer an account with Internet
access?
| • |
The result is a network of distributed security, one that
ensures protection throughout the banking process on your computer, during
the transmission of information, and in the financial institution's own
computer systems. |
| • |
Distributed security means that, rather than rely on one
security measure, FundsXpress utilizes many lines of defense, including
authentication, encryption, and automatic sign-off protect your account
information. So whether you are enrolling online for online banking,
transferring money or paying your bills, you can depend on your account
information being safe. |
| • |
If for any reason your secure session ends, your online
banking session automatically terminates. There are no permanent
connections. |
| • |
The Internet Banking system cannot update the Bank's
account information directly. Only those set-up for Internet Banking will
have their information transferred. |
How Does Encryption Work?
| • |
FundsXpress makes sure all online banking sessions are
encrypted. That means your password, as well as all information relating to
you and your accounts, employ the strongest forms of cryptography that are
commercially available for use over the Internet. |
| • |
That's because there are billions of possible keys that
could potentially solve each formula, but only one that will work. |
| • |
Your account information will read as gibberish to all but you and the
bank. |
Is Account Information Stored?
| • |
FundsXpress requires browsers to NOT record a customer's
banking information on your computer's hard-drive, unless you explicitly
download it. |
| • |
Your privacy is also maintained. We don't sell or
distribute your information. |
We may alter or amend these principles, and any of the policies or procedures
described above, at any time without prior notice. The principles set forth
above are for general guidance; they do not constitute a contract and do
