Internet Security Information

"BankFlorida" Online Banking is part of a network that utilizes a comprehensive security strategy to protect your accounts and transactions conducted over the Internet. In-depth information on many of the techniques and features employed by the system can be viewed and are explained in our "BankFlorida" Online Security statement. In addition to our login security, we use the SSL (secure socket layer) encryption technology for everything you do in "BankFlorida" Online Banking system. Whenever SSL is securing your communications, the browser will typically indicate the "secure session" by changing the appearance of a small icon of a padlock at the bottom of the screen from open to locked. What this means to you is that your communications are scrambled from your browser to our servers at all times so no unauthorized party can read the information as it is carried over the Internet.


Login Security

Security is very important to "BankFlorida". When you login to the service for the first time, you will use your log in ID and the last four digits of your social security number (personal accounts) or taxpayer identification number (businesses). You will then be prompted to select a new "Password" that you will thereafter use to gain access to your accounts. Your session time limit is limited to 30 minutes, but to help prevent unauthorized access and ensure the security of your accounts, we will end your online session if we have detected no activity for 15 minutes. This is to protect you in case you accidentally leave your computer unattended after you log on. When you return to your computer, you will be prompted to re-enter your password and your session will continue where you left off. Because your password is used to access your accounts, you should treat it as you would any other sensitive personal data. You should carefully select a password that is hard to guess. Keep your password safe. Memorize your password and never tell it to anyone. You may consider changing your password occasionally, such as every 90 days. This can be done at any time, after you are logged in, from the "options" menu.
