Security Statement Your
transactions are safe. Farmers Deposit 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
The bank recommends that a secure message cneter be used
for sending any confidential information electronically. 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 Sockets 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. How can you tell if
your
browser is secure?

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, and 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 Farmers Deposit Bank’s computer. This way, the passwords and IDs can
never be accessed or downloaded by anyone on the Internet. The system also
checks for invalid logins and automatically disallows a user after three
invalid attempts. This prohibits the ‘hacker’ from gaining
access to our system, thus protecting your accounts.
Your
Password
You will be responsible for maintaining one of the
most important security measures: your password. When
you receive your 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.
