Internet Banking Security:
With proper safety measures in place, your Internet Banking transactions remain confidential and safe. The following measures have been taken to ensure your privacy:
Secure access and Verifying User Authenticity:
Unique ID and Personal Identification Number (PIN) - In order to access you Internet Banking Account(s), you must enter a unique User ID and PIN.
Account "Pseudo" names - Internet Banking does not display your account numbers over the Internet. Instead, we allow you to choose a "pseudo name" for each of your accounts. For example, Home Checking, Judy's Savings, etc. Never
use the legal name on the account(s) or the account numbers
as the "pseudo name".
Automatic log-off - If you are logged on to our Internet Banking Service but do not use it for 10 minutes, you will not be able to proceed until you "re-log" onto the system.
PIN "lockout" system - To keep unauthorized individuals from accessing your account by guessing your PIN, we have instituted a PIN lockout system. If your PIN is entered incorrectly three consecutive times, the user is "locked out" of the system.
Secure Data Transfer:
Encryption - The latest encryption technology ensures that your confidential account information cannot be accessed by another party. Encryption is a way to rewrite something in a code, which can be decoded later with the right "key." When you request information about your accounts, the information is sent across the web in an encrypted format to our Internet Banking Service. We decode your request and send the requested information back to you in an encrypted format. When the information reaches you, it is decoded so that you, and no one else, can read it.
Router and Firewall:
Other Security Measures - In addition to the above safeguards, sophisticated firewalls and an authentication process ensure that only authorized individuals are allowed to enter our system.
How you can protect your Internet security?
While our Internet Banking Service works to protect your banking privacy, you will also play an important role in protecting your accounts. There are a number of steps you can take to ensure that your Internet Banking account(s) information is protected, including:
• Keep your PIN to yourself. Create a unique PIN that is
not a proper name, address, birth date or otherwise easily
guessed.
• Change your PIN frequently. The system will require you
to change your PIN every 90 days.
• Remain at your computer until your Internet Banking transactions are completed and log out. Log out of Internet Banking prior to visiting other Internet sites
• If you notice suspicious or unusual activity on your
Internet Banking accounts, please call (303) 680-1600.
Always Use the Most Current WEB Browser available.
We recommend using either Netscape Navigator™ (version 3.0 or higher) or Microsoft Internet Explorer™ (version 3.1 or higher) for optimal viewing of this web site, and take advantage of secure interactivity with our site. If you are not using Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer you may wish to download either one now. Click on the one you want to download and follow the instructions.
When sending any information online this site automatically switches to a secure mode. This is evident by the "https" that will appear in the url as opposed to "http." If you are using Internet Explorer you will see a locked pad lock at the bottom of your screen when you are in a secure mode and an unlocked pad lock when you are in an insecure mode.
