How safe is Internet Banking?
Internet Banking uses 128-bit encryption, one of the most advanced technologies available for safeguarding your online banking. Encryption is a process that transforms sensitive information into a string of unrecognizable characters before they are sent over the Internet. Encryption helps provide a secure channel for data transmission to keep information private between the bank’s computer system and your Internet browser.
At MetLife Bank, we are very concerned with the security of your account. When you open an account, you will receive a user ID and password that will give you secure access to your account.Our secured servers (the computers that hold your account data) are housed behind a network protection system called a “firewall,” which uses filtering technology to prevent access by anyone without authorization. Additionally, before your account information travels over the Internet, it is “encrypted.” This means it is changed into a form of secret code that can only be read by our secured banking servers. For further information, see our Security Policy.
