Security Statement

First State Bank is strongly committed to protecting the security and confidentiality of our customer account information. First State Bank uses state-of-the-art technology in the ongoing development of its Internet Banking service to ensure this security. We use several different methods to protect your account information:

Hardware/Software Features:

  • You can only access Internet Banking with certain browsers that have a high security standard using 128-bit encryption. A secured connection to Internet Banking is verified by various symbols that are displayed on your web browser depending on your particular ISP (Internet Service Provider).
  • First State Banks' web server does not connect directly to the Internet. It is buffered from the Internet through the use of a firewall. All access from outside the bank must go through and be validated by this firewall before gaining access.

Account Features:

  • Your account numbers are not displayed in full - only the last 4 digits can be viewed, as well as the option to assign account "aliases" to your accounts.
  • You must have a valid user id and password to logon. More than three (3) invalid logon attempts will "lock you out" from Internet Banking and a password reset will be required by the bank.
  • If no action is taken for 10 minutes, you will be automatically logged off from Internet Banking.

Your Responsibility:

You agree....

  • Not to give out your identifying information such as your user id and password to any other person. The Bank may rely on your user id to identify you when providing assistance to you.
  • Never to leave your account information displayed in an area accessible by others.
  • Never to leave your PC unattended while using Internet Banking.
  • To always exit the system by clicking on EXIT after using Internet Banking.
  • To notify First State Bank's Internet Banking Department at (586) 775-5000 immediately if you suspect that your user id or password has become known to any unauthorized person.

IMPORTANT!

A Word About Links...

As a courtesy to our customers, we may offer links to non-First State Bank web sites from time to time. These links are offered only as pointers to sources of information that may be of interest to First State Bank customers. First State Bank is not responsible for the content of such sites, as we have no control over what is displayed there. Use of links to any non-First State Bank site is solely at the user's own risk.

If you have any questions concerning the security features listed above, please contact First State Bank's Internet Banking Department at (586) 775-5000.
