Grand Bank & Trust of Florida's Online Banking
Security Statement
Your transactions
are safe. Grand Bank & Trust works with cutting-edge technology
partners to ensure that the most secure environment is made possible
for our valued customers. We offer you worry-free Internet banking.
You can be completely confident of the following security measures:
Secure Communications
Our system ensures that data-exchanged between your PC and our computers
are encrypted with 128-bit encryption - the strongest encryption
available. Encryption is accomplished through Secure Sockets Layers
(SSL), which utilizes mathematical formulas to 'encrypt' or hide
information from prying eyes on the Internet. Additionally, if SSL
detects that data was added or deleted after you sent it to the
bank, the connection will be severed in order to guard against any
tampering. The most popular browsers have the SSL security feature
included.
Secure Environment
Our computer system does not connect directly to the Internet. It
is isolated from the network via a 'firewall.' A firewall is a combination
of software and hardware products that designate parameters, and
control and limit the access that outside computers have to the
banks' internal networks and databases. You can feel secure knowing
that our firewall protects your personal information from unauthorized
access.
Secure Login
User IDs and passwords are isolated from the Internet by being stored
on Grand Bank & Trust's computer. This way, the passwords and
IDs can never be accessed or downloaded by anyone on the Internet.
Additionally, user passwords can vary from six to sixteen characters,
which means the chance of randomly guessing a password is less than
one in one billion! The system also checks for invalid logins and
automatically disallows a user after three invalid attempts. This
prohibits the 'hacker' from gaining access to our system, thus protecting
your accounts.
Your Password
You will be responsible for maintaining one of the most important
security measures: your password. When you receive your Grand Bank
& Trust password, be sure to keep it a secret. Memorize it,
or write it down and keep it in a safe place. It is not recommended
you carry your password in your purse or wallet. Make sure no one
watches you enter your password and always close your browser when
leaving the computer. Make sure you regularly scan your computer
for viruses that could be used to capture password keystrokes. You
ultimately hold the key to your password security.
