Safe Harbor Bank realizes the importance of security to its clients and has taken a number of steps to enhance the protection of personal or confidential information provided to or from our websites via the Internet.

SSL Technology
Safe Harbor Bank requires a "secure session" be established, using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. This is done anytime you supply or access personal or confidential information in one of our secure online areas. SSL technology creates a private conversation that only the computer you are using and Safe Harbor Bank's systems can understand. The SSL technology encodes information as it is being sent over the Internet between your computer and Safe Harbor Bank's systems, helping to ensure that the transmitted information remains confidential.

User ID and Password
Safe Harbor Bank online banking system requires the use of a User ID and Password as a security measure that helps protect your confidential information. This allows Safe Harbor Bank to verify who you are, thereby allowing you access to your account information and preventing unauthorized entries. When you have finished using Safe Harbor Bank online banking system, make sure you always log out and close your browser window.

Firewalls
Safe Harbor Bank makes use of the latest technology to protect your stored information. We use firewalls at many levels to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing our system. All messages entering or leaving our system pass through these firewalls and are examined according to certain security criteria we have in place. If the defined criteria are not met, the message is blocked. A firewall is considered a first line of defense in protecting private information.

Virus Protection
Our systems are also protected by virus programs, which are kept current to the latest standards. These virus programs provide another layer of protection for our systems and our users. Safe Harbor Bank has deployed proprietary security systems to monitor and protect information on several layers. Should you have any further concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Safe Harbor Bank for more information.
