Here are a few tips that we hope will help you protect yourself. HOW WE IDENTIFY YOU: Unique Username and Password When you sign up for online banking, we ask you to create a username and password to access your accounts. This information is encrypted during sign on. To create a strong username and password consider using a unique phrase with a mix of letters and numbers that you only use for AFNB accounts. Avoid using any part of your email address or information shared on social media, like the name of your pet, favorite movie, or anything else that someone could easily guess. We recommend your username and password only be used for your AFNB account. For a stronger password, pick a phrase with a mix of letters and numbers. The longer your password, the harder it is to crack. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR DATA: 24/7 Fraud Monitoring We are helping to keep your money safe by monitoring your account and alerting you to certain account activity we find suspicious. If your banking behavior differs from your usual activity, we may restrict account access or prevent certain types of transactions. Further proof of identity may be required before we restore online access. Encryption & Browser Requirements All online and mobile banking sessions are encrypted to help protect your accounts. In addition, American First National Bank only supports browsers that adhere to our encryption standards. We may block outdated browsers that could lead to a security risk, so be sure to keep your browsers up to date. Automatic Sign Off AFNB will automatically sign you off from your online or mobile banking session after a period of inactivity.
