To make sure your computer is as secure as possible before transmitting any sensitive information, the following steps will help you maintain the security of your transactions.

  • Use up-to-date firewalls, anti-spyware and anti-virus software to protect your home computer.
  • Microsoft releases security patches for the Windows operating system and for Microsoft Edge. You should keep the patches on your computer current.
  • Always log out of our Internet Banking site by clicking the "Logout" link.
  • Do not store your Internet Banking passwords electronically through a web browser.
  • Create a password that is hard to guess and change it often.
  • Do not install free computer software without knowing what it is and where it came from. Doing so can install spyware and other unwanted programs onto your computer.
  • When shopping online, do not enter personal information unless the web pages are secure. If the web address begins https:// and has other protection measures, then your information is encrypted and scrambled to prevent hackers from infiltrating.
  • Do not use public computers to transmit any personal information.
  • Do not divulge personal information in a chat room.
