Online Security
MAKE YOUR ONLINE BANKING EXPERIENCE SAFE AND SECURE
Measures you should take to make your online banking experience safe and secure:
BE ALERT
Crooks are always attempting to obtain your personal information by various methods. Do not respond to anyone who is requesting personal information by telephone or email regarding your banking relationship. If you have any doubts regarding the request, call us immediately.
PASSWORD AND PIN PROTECTION AND SECURITY
Password security starts with a strong password, which only you know. The strongest passwords use a combination of letters and numbers and are not easily guessed, such as birthdays or addresses. Your password and PIN uniquely identify you. Be sure that you keep them private and do not share them with others. Many frauds which occur are committed by someone the victim knows.
EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS

First National Bank does not contact customers via email to verify or request any confidential information, such as your social security number, account number, password, or personal identification number (PIN). First National Bank will not send an email that requests you to click on a link to verify or provide information.
