Community Bank Online incorporates industry standard security features that protect your data so you can manage your money with safety and confidence. We want to provide you
with peace of mind when you access your account information.
Community Bank Online utilizes encryption technology, which is the scrambling of information for transmission back and forth between two points so that it cannot be read by
unauthorized parties. A key is required to decode the information. When you request information about your accounts, the request is sent encrypted to Community Bank. We
then decode your request for information and send it back to you in an encrypted format. When you receive it, your information is decoded so that you can read it. Because
your account information is being transmitted between you and Community Bank, encryption protects your account information so it can't be intercepted and read by a
third party.
And we encourage you to always take steps in addition to these Community Bank security features to protect your personal information. Here are some tips:
- Keep your password secure and make sure no one is watching as you enter your password
