The Credit Union requires the use of secure browsers in order to ensure a high level of security protection for your information as it is exchanged over the Internet between your computer and the Credit Union. SSL is a very complex and high end encryption technique that ensures your information is protected and can only be viewed by the intended recipient. Basically, encryption is the process of scrambling information so that it can only be reassembled in its original clear text format by someone who has the correct encryption key to do so. When used between you and the Credit Union, this technology encrypts your personal information as you send it to us, which only the Credit Union can decrypt. Likewise, when we send personal or account information to you, this technology encrypts it, which then only you can decrypt.
Different browsers display security status in different ways.
For example, your browser may display a padlock or key icon in the status bar. In such case, if you are not in a secure area the key or lock may be broken, unlocked, or not shown. It is best to check with your browser s help facility to determine how security status is displayed. If your browser does not support secure sessions, you will not be able to access the logon page. Firewalls The Credit Union employs an additional protection mechanism known as a firewall to protect our computer systems and your information.
