Protecting your First Resource Bank Online Transactions
To ensure that your on line banking payment transactions remain confidential and
secure, First Resource Bank Online Banking employs state-of-the-art technology. First Resource Bank Online Banking includes several levels of security measures to prevent unauthorized users from accessing your information or gaining access to our network. Security measures include firewalls, screening/filtering routers, encryption, passwordprotection and other methods.
Firewalls and Screening/Filtering Routers – Firewalls and screening/filtering routers are”gateways” that verify the source, destination and protocol of each data packet and determine whether or not to send the packet through. This ensures that you will only receive information pertaining to First Resource Online Banking.
Encryption – Once you enter First Resource Bank Online Banking we use encryption to protect your data from being altered or monitored en route to your computer. Second Socket Layer (SSL) encryption provides a secure channel for data transmission across computer networks using public key cryptography. Public key cryptography is a technique that uses a pair of keys, one is public and one is confidential, for encryption and decryption. Certain pages in our web site are protected by public key cryptography. To see if the page you are on is protected, check the “URL” or web address at the top of the screen. If the address begins with “https” then you are using a secure screen.
Password Protection – First Resource Bank Online Banking uses Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) to restrict entrance to the system. As a First Resource Bank Online user, you can change your PIN. We have a ten minute time-out period when your computer will automatically log out of the system. Together, these measures make it difficult for the entry of unauthorized data or unauthorized access into the system. For your own security and privacy, it is recommended that you memorize your PIN and destroy all written references. You are responsible for keeping your PIN confidential. Do not give your PIN to anyone. First Resource Bank employees will never ask you for your PIN.
