Security Statement
We are pleased to offer various
financial services and products via the Internet. Delivering
these services requires a solid security framework that can
protect you and your Credit Union from outside intrusion.
The information below summarizes our security framework which
incorporates the latest proven technologies.
There are several levels of security
within our security framework. User Level deals with cryptography
and Netscape’s Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol,
and is the first line of defense used by all members accessing
services from the Internet.
User Level
There are several components of
User Level security that ensure the confidentiality of information
sent across the Internet. The first level of security requires
your use of a fully SSL-compliant browser such as Netscape
Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. SSL is an open protocol
developed by Netscape that allows a user’s browser to
establish a secure channel for communicating with our Internet
server. SSL utilizes highly effective cryptography techniques
between your browser and our server to ensure that the information
being passed is authentic, cannot be deciphered, and has not
been altered en route. SSL also utilizes a digitally signed
certificate which ensures that you are truly communicating
with the specific server intended and not a third party trying
to intercept the transaction.
User Responsibilities
While we continue to evaluate and
implement the latest improvements in Internet security technology,
users also have responsibility for the security of their information
and should always follow the recommendations listed below:
- Utilize the latest version of either
Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. They
are both certified for use at our site.
- Your Security Code must be kept confidential.
Change it frequently to ensure that the information cannot
be guessed or used by others.
- Be sure others are not watching you enter
information on the keyboard when using the system.
- Never leave your computer unattended while
logged. Others may approach your computer and gain access
to your account information while you are away.
- Click Exit when you are finished using the
system to properly end your session. Once a session has
been ended, no further transactions can be processed until
you log on to the system again.
- Close your browser when you are finished.
This will prevent other individuals from viewing any account
information displayed on your computer.
- Keep your computer free of viruses and spyware.
Use virus and spyware protection software to routinely check
on the integrity of your computer.
When you follow these simple security
measures, your interaction with your Credit Union on-line
will be completely confidential. We look forward to serving
your financial needs today and into the future - securely!
