Before initiating your Online Banking, we first require that a "secure session" is established using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. This is a process where the information between our server and your browser is encrypted or scrambled so it cannot be read by unauthorized parties.
A general indicator that you have entered a secure session is when the URL (web page address) in the address bar starts with "https" (note the "s" at the end) rather than "http", your session is secure.
