Tips for keeping your Internet Banking session secure

Never reveal your password to any one for any reason.
Take advantage of the case sensitive aspect of our password program. Alternate upper and lower cases i.e.: AbCCdsF.
Substitute special characters for letters (such as using $ instead of an s, or @ instead of an a).
Change your password (in User Options) every six months.
Use the Exit icon to end a session, do not use the "back" key.
Do not set your Time Out Sessions (in User Options) for too long of a time frame.
Change your password whenever you delete a signer from your account.
Balance your account at a minimum of once a month, so any discrepancies can be reported in a timely manner.
