Our Agreement. What It Means To Use Our Services.

The Security Addendum in the Master Treasury Management Services Agreement sets forth the required commercially reasonable Security Procedures that apply to all Services used by you. You agree to be bound by the Security Addendum regardless of the medium through which you access the Services. It is critical you understand and implement the Security Procedures. If you don’t, you could be liable for losses resulting in fraud.

Partners In Protecting Your Finances

Identity theft, check fraud, corporate account takeover, and other financial fraud schemes are increasing in frequency and sophistication. Our Security Procedures exist to assist and protect you from these types of fraud schemes.

That’s why we put together commercially reasonable Security Procedures — for you and us — to minimize risk while managing personal and corporate accounts.

Financial Security Protection Is A Team Effort

We can’t do it alone. When paired with your vigilance and attention to best practices, our recommendations and solutions help you keep your finances and information secure.

What We Do

Financial data security is serious business and we have robust policies and procedures in place to help mitigate risk.

Facility Access Controls

We have strict access control of our facilities, including 24/7 surveillance and security systems.

Fraud Prevention Training

Our team is trained on how to detect fraud and employs various mitigants to reduce fraud risk.

Timed Log-Off Technology

Our Online Banking application automatically logs you out after 15 minutes of inactivity. This timed log-off reduces the risk of unauthorized access to your account from an unattended computer.

Multi-factor Authentication

We pair user IDs and passwords (“codes”) with another identifier (i.e. tokens, out-of-wallet security questions, knowledge-based questions) to assure it is our client logging into Online Banking or mobile applications.

High-Risk Transaction Identification

We require at least one other method of identification for high-risk transactions, such as wire transfers or ACH.

Secure Hand-Held Device Technology

Mobile applications will automatically log you out after five minutes of inactivity. This shortened log-off period reduces the risk of unauthorized access to your account if your mobile device is lost or stolen.

Data Encryption

Your confidential banking data is encrypted.

Payment Monitoring & Fraud Detection

We monitor payment channels for suspicious transactions to detect fraud.

What You Do

Your internal risk management procedures and implementation of security controls are equally important. Here are the Security Procedures you should follow to reduce the risk of fraud and theft.

Vigilance & Skepticism

Strong security starts with a vigilant human layer. Stay alert and report anything that appears suspicious or unusual.

Stop & Report

Stop all online activity, remove any system that may be compromised, and contact ic3.gov, the reporting mechanism to submit information to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and law enforcement concerning suspected internet-facilitated criminal activity.

User Awareness Training

Stay informed on the latest fraud schemes and scams. Businesses must train employees on best practices for dealing with suspected phishing emails, social engineering, or other likely high-risk attack vectors.

Dual Internal Controls

Use dual controls for all monetary transactions; separate the approver from the person inputting the transaction into accounting software or Online Banking.

Multi-User Internal Controls

Use segregation of duties for reconciling statements. The person initiating the payment must not be the person that performs reconciliation.

Electronic Statements & Bill Pay

Go paperless; sign up for electronic statements and Bill Pay to eliminate paper invoices and the potential for checks and paper statements to be stolen out of the mail.
