Your transactions are absolutely safe. The Peoples Bank Online Banking works with cutting edge technology partners to ensure that the most secure environment is made possible for our valued customers. We want to make sure we offer you worry free Online banking. You can be completely confident of the following security measures:

Secure Communications

Our system ensures that data exchanged between your PC and our computers is encrypted with 128-bit encryption. Encryption is accomplished through Secure Sockets Layers (SSL) which utilize mathematical formulas to "encrypt" or hide information from prying eyes on the Internet. Additionally, if SSL detects that data was added or deleted after you sent it to the bank, the connection will be severed in order to guard against any tampering. The most popular browsers have the SSL security feature built in.

Secure Environment

The Peoples Bank's computer system does not connect directly to the Internet. It is isolated from the network via a "firewall." A firewall is a combination of software and hardware products that designate parameters, control and limit the access that outside computers have to the bank's internal network and databases. You can feel secure knowing that our bank's firewall protects your personal information from unauthorized access.

Secure Login

User ID's and passwords are isolated from the Internet by being stored on The Peoples Bank's computer system. This way the passwords and ID's can never be accessed or downloaded by anyone on the Internet. The system also checks for invalid logons and automatically disallows a user after three invalid attempts. This prohibits the "hacker" from gaining access to our system thus protecting your accounts. Additionally, user passwords can vary from six to sixteen characters, which means the chance of randomly guessing a pasword is less than one in 1 billion!

Your Password

You will be responsible for maintaining one of the most important security measures, your password. Be sure to keep it a secret. Memorize it, or write it down and keep it in a safe place. It is not recommended you carry your password in your purse or wallet. Make sure no one watches you enter your password and always close your browser when leaving the computer. Make sure you regularly scan your computer for viruses that could be used to capture password keystrokes. You ultimately hold the key to your password security.
