How secure is First State Banks Online Banking?
The server that stores your First State Bank account information uses Verisign Secure Site protocol. This security encrypts the data, sending it in a scrambled format, making it difficult to see your information. To ensure that the information is being sent from a secure server, the address will start with https:// rather than http://. Also, you will see a closed padlock at the bottom of your screen when receiving the information from an SSL server securely. We require the use of a 128-bit high encryption pack for the strongest security available. Internet Explorer High Encryption Pack is available for download now for Internet Explorer users. Netscape users must also use 128-bit encryption to access First State Bank’s Online Banking securely.
