Many of the financial services we provide on this Web site use access codes such as a login ID and password.

This site requires the use of secure browsers to protect you while you access our online services.To check if 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 even greater security when viewing your account information over the Internet, we recommend 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, go to

To provide additional protection, a timeout feature is used with online banking. This feature automatically logs you out of your account after an extended period of time. Re-authenticating your password and login for your online session helps to reduce unauthorized access to your accounts with us. You may change the timeout length through the users options while logged onto online banking.

Additional security is provided for some products and services using digital certificates.
