Security Controls and Browser Requirements
We understand the security of personal and account information about you is important
to you. To assist us in offering financial services in a secure manner, we employ
a number of controls described below. These controls allow us to properly authenticate
your identity when you access these services and protect information about you as
it travels over the Internet between us and your computer.
Our idebit® site requires the use of secure browsers to protect you during enrollment.
Secure browsers allow you to communicate with our Web site in a protected session
by encrypting information that flows between you and the site. To verify your session
is secure, look for https: instead of http: in the URL address line, and a secure
symbol (for example, closed padlock or key) on the status bar of your browser located
on the lower part of the screen.
For greater security when enrolling in idebit® over the Internet, we require
that you use a browser with 128-bit encryption. For more information on your browser's
features and how to download a more secure version of your browser, consult your
browser’s security manual or Help section.
To provide additional protection, a timeout feature is used on selected parts of
our Web site. This feature automatically logs you out after an extended period of
time. Re-establishing and authenticating your credentials for your online session
helps to reduce unauthorized access to your accounts with us via the Internet.
The Web site uses firewalls to protect our computer systems and your information.
Firewalls can be thought of as a selective barrier that permits only specific types
of traffic (transactions) through to our systems.
An excellent source of information on how to prevent identity theft and what to
do if you are a victim of identity theft is the
Federal Trade Commission web site.
