Password and Login Security Security is very important to First Palmetto Bank. In order to activate your Online Banking Service, you must have at least one checking, savings, certificate of deposit or loan account with First Palmetto Bank. When you login to the service for the first time, you will use your account number and your temporary password we will provide you. You will then be prompted to choose a new "Access ID" and a new "Password." 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 should not under any circumstances disclose your password by telephone or to anyone claiming to represent First Palmetto Bank. Bank employees do not need and should not ask for your password. First Palmetto Bank is entitled to act on instructions received through online banking under your password and without inquiring into the identity of the person using that password. Any person having access to your First Palmetto Bank online banking password will be able to access the Online Banking Services and perform all transactions, including reviewing account information and making transfers to other accounts which have mutual ownership. You are liable for all transactions made by persons authorized to use your password. If, despite the Bank's advice, you give your password to anyone, you do so at your own risk since anyone to whom you give your password or other means of access will have full access to your account(s) even if you attempt to limit that person's authority. We strongly urge you to change your password every 90 days. This can be done at any time once you are logged in, from the "Options" menu. Once you login as a first time user, you will be required to change the initial access ID and password and select an access ID and password known only to you. The Access ID you select may be any combination of alpha/numeric characters, from six (6) to sixteen (16) digits. The password criteria is as follows Minimum Password Length 6 Maximum Password Length 16 Number of Alpha Characters Required 1 Passwords are case sensitive (must be entered exactly as input with upper and/or lower case characters). Passwords can be changed at any time by the accountholder, and by any other person to whom the accountholder provides the password, through First Palmetto Bank’s Online Banking Service. If you suspect that an unauthorized person has access to your password or believe your password has been lost or stolen or that someone may attempt to use the service without your consent or has transferred funds without your permission, your must notify First Palmetto Bank immediately. See Part VI of this Agreement for additional information relating to liability for unauthorized transactions and error resolutions. Your session time is unlimited, 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 45 minutes. This is to protect you in case you accidentally leave your computer unattended after you login. When you return to your computer, you will be prompted to re-enter your password and your session will continue. Your Rights and Responsibilities In addition to this Agreement, you agree to be bound by and comply with the Account Agreement and Account Disclosure, the rules and regulations of the electronic transfer system, and state and federal laws and regulations. You, the consumer, are responsible for keeping your online password and account data confidential. We are entitled to act on transaction instructions received using your password, and you agree that the use of your password will have the same effect as your signature, authorizing the transaction(s). If you authorize other persons to use your password in any manner, your authorization will be considered unlimited in amount and manner until you have notified us in writing that you have revoked the authorization, changed your password, and that you are responsible for any transactions made by such persons until such time as we receive and have time to act upon the notification that transfers by that person, or instructions regarding your accounts, are no longer authorized.
