Encryption


The Service uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology for everything you do while using Online Banking. Your browser automatically activates this technology when it attempts to connect to our Service. The Service will warn you if your browser doesn’t meet the encryption requirements.


Whenever SSL is securing your communications, the browser will typically indicate this secure session by changing the appearance of a small icon of a padlock at the bottom of the screen from “open” to “locked”. What this means to you is that your communications are scrambled from your browser to our servers at all times so no unauthorized party can read the information as it is carried over the Internet.


Certificate Authority


The servers hosting the Service have been certified by a Certificate Authority to assure that you are actually talking to the Service instead of someone pretending to be us. If you are using an older browser, such as anything prior to version 11.0 on Internet Explorer or a non-current version of Goggle Chrome, you will see that Certificate Authorities key may have expired; you will need to update your browser. Instructions for upgrading your browser are located on the Browser SSL Update lint, which is located on the Service login page. By clicking on the lock within the Service, you can view the certificate to ensure it’s valid.

This cookie enables us to process multiple transactions during the session without having to provide an Online Banking ID and Password for each individual transaction. Users must accept this cookie to use the Service. This cookie does not contain any personal information; it simply provides another level of security for our Online Banking product. The cookie is stored on your computer’s hard drive, identifying your computer while you are logged on. When you log off, closer your browser, or turn off your machine, the cookie will be destroyed. A new cookie is used for each session, thus, no one can use the prior cookie to access your account.

However, if we require more time to confirm the nature of your complaint or question, we reserve the right to take up to forty-five (45) days to complete our investigation. If we decide to do this, we will provisionally credit your account within ten (10) Business Days for the amount you think is in error.

Consumer Liability for Unauthorized Transfers


Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Online Banking ID or Password has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of minimizing your possible losses. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit if applicable).


If consumer customers tell us within two (2) Business Days after you discover your password or other means to access your account has been lost or stolen, your liability is no more than $50.00 should someone access your account without your permission. If you do not tell us within two (2) Business Days after you learn of such loss or theft, and we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized use of your password or other means to access your account if you had told us, you could be liable for as much as $500.00.


If your monthly account statement contains transfers that you did not authorize, you must tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was sent to you, you may lose any amount transferred without your authorization after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) prevented you from telling us, we may extend the period.
