Security Policy

Your transactions are absolutely safe. Prime National Bank works with cutting-edge technology partners to ensure that the most secure environment is made possible for our valued customers. 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 computer network is encrypted with 128-bit encryption – the strongest encryption available. Encryption is accomplished through Secure Sockets Layers (SSL), which utilizes 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 included.

Secure Environment

Our 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, and control and limit the access that outside computers have to the banks’ internal networks and databases. You can feel secure knowing that our firewall protects your personal information from unauthorized access.

Secure Login

User IDs and passwords are isolated from the Internet by being stored on Prime National Bank’s computer. This way, the passwords and IDs can never be accessed or downloaded by anyone on the Internet. Additionally, user passwords can vary from 9 to 17 characters, which means the chance of randomly guessing a password is less than one in one trillion! The system also checks for invalid logins and automatically disallows a user after three invalid attempts. This prohibits the ‘hacker’ from gaining access to our system, thus protecting your accounts.

Your Password

You will be responsible for maintaining one of the most important security measures: your password. When you receive your Prime National Bank online banking 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.

ADA Compliance

Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act covers programs, activities, and services of public entities, including their websites. The ADA protects qualified individuals with disabilities from discrimination on the basis of disability. Prime National Bank will comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, which prohibits discrimination in the provision of programs, services, or activities to individuals with disabilities. If you have any questions about our services regarding ADA or believe you have been unfairly discriminated against in the provision of programs, services, or activities of Prime National Bank, please contact us or call +(859) 567 9145 and we’ll be happy to assist.
