Is FSB Online secure?
A. Yes. First Security Bank has taken strong measures to ensure that your information remains secure and confidential. The first step is the use of a secure browser. Certain browsers and certain computers have the ability to communicate securely by scrambling the information as it passes across the Internet. The method of communication is called SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer. We require the use of a secure browser before a connection can be made FSB Online. After you reach us using a secure browser, we take measures to make sure your information is kept secure and confidential. Your information passes through a “firewall”, which is a computer specifically designed to keep out unauthorized users. For security purposes, FSB Online requires you to enter two sets of numbers: your First Security Bank ATM or Visa CheckCard Number and a Personal Identification Number (PIN). You should memorize your PIN and it should only be known to you. Q.
