Information About the Security of Your Internet Banking Account
Security
Your transactions are absolutely safe. Family Bank works
with cutting-edge technology partners to ensure that the most
secure environment is made possible for our valued customers.
We offer you worry-free Internet Banking. You can be
completely confident of the following security measures:
Secure Communications
Our system ensures that data exchanged between your PC and our computers
are encrypted with 128-bit encryption - the strongest encryption
available. Encryption is accomplished through Secure Socket Layers
(SSL), which utilizes mathematical formulas to 'encrypt' or hide
information from prying eyes on the Internet. Additionally, if SSL
detects that data was added or deleted after you sent it to the bank,
the connection will be severed in order to guard against any tampering.
The most popular browsers have the SSL security feature included.
Secure Environment
Our computer system does not connect directly to the Internet. It
is isolated from the network via a 'firewall.' A firewall is a
combination of software and hardware products that designate parameters
that control and limit the access that outside computers have to the
banks' internal networks and databases. You can feel secure
knowing that our firewall protects your personal information from
unauthorized access.
Secure Login
User IDs and passwords are isolated from the Internet by being stored on
Family Bank's computer. This way, the passwords and IDs can never
be accessed or downloaded by anyone on the Internet. Additionally,
user passwords can vary from eight to sixteen characters which means the
chance of randomly guessing a password is less than one in one billion!
The system also checks for invalid logins and automatically disallows a
user after three invalid attempts. This prohibits the 'hacker'
from getting access to our system, thus protecting your accounts.
Also, Family Bank uses a "multi-factor" authentication method to ensure
that no one other than you can access your account. It also
ensures you that you are viewing the authentic Family Bank website and
not a false website designed to steal your personal information.
Your Password
You will be responsible for maintaining one of the most important
security measures: your password. When you receive your Family
Bank Internet Banking Password, be sure to keep it a secret.
Memorize it, or write it down and keep it in a safe place. It is
not recommended you carry your password in your purse or wallet.
Make sure no one watches you enter your password and always close your
browser when leaving the computer. Make sure you regularly scan
your computer for viruses that could be used to capture password
keystrokes. You ultimately hold the key to your password security.
