Security Disclaimer
Your transactions are absolutely safe. Bank of Dawson 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 Internet 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 – the strongest encryption available. 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.
Secure Environment
Bank of Dawson’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
Bank of Dawson will never ask for your password. Always protect your password and never share with anyone. Our 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.
Email Communications
Bank of Dawson will never send you an e-mail message requesting confidential information such as account numbers, social security number, debit card number, passwords, or other critical financial information. We recommend that you do not email any of the information above as we cannot guarantee the security of standard email. If you wish to speak to someone about your account, please give us a call.
