SECURITY
Bank of Arkansas is committed to making sure that your online
banking is safe and secure. With our security infrastructure in place, we are confident
that access to your accounts is private and secure.
Encryption
Encryption helps protect your private information by scrambling it so that it cannot be
intercepted and read by anyone else. When you visit a site that requires encryption, your
browser will display a key or a lock. If you are not in a secure area, the key or lock
will be broken.
For Microsoft browsers: To check your level of encryption, go to the "File"
menu, select "Properties", and then select "Security." Another way is
to select "Help" then "About Internet Explorer."
Other Security Features
Our firewall protects Bank of Arkansas's systems by allowing entry only to those who are
authorized.
For digital identity verification, the Online Banking system has a digital server
certificate by VeriSign that your browser uses each time you sign on to verify that indeed
you are connected to Bank of Arkansas's Online Banking.
Your Role in Security
While Bank of Arkansas works to protect your accounts, you also have a part. There are a
number of steps you can take to ensure that your online experience on the Internet is safe
and secure.
- Most importantly, don't reveal your online Personal Identification Number to anyone.
Your online PIN is designed to protect the privacy of your online information, but it will
only work if you keep it private. If you think your online PIN has been compromised,
change it immediately online.
- Don't leave your computer unattended if you are in the middle of an Online Banking
session.
- Once you have finished your Online Banking session, always sign off before visiting
other sites on the Internet.
- If anyone else is likely to use your computer, clear your browser cache or turn off your
browser and re-start it in order to eliminate copies of web pages that have been stored on
your hard drive. How you clear your cache will depend on the browser and version you have.
This function is generally found in the browser's preferences menu.
- Bank of Arkansas recommends that you use a browser with 128-bit encryption.
