The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protects data transferred over the Internet using encryption, authenticating communication over the Internet. This allows information to only flow from your desktop to Bank of the West Online Banking, and vice a versa, through a unique session. Once you’ve logged on to Online Banking, you can begin a secure session that guarantees privacy and integrity. For more browser security tips visit our Browsers & Security page.
