Our system ensures
that data exchanged between your PC and our computers is
encrypted with 128-bit encryption - the strongest encryption
available. Encryption is accomplished through Secure Sockets
Layers (SSL) which utilize mathematical formulas to "encrypt" or
hide information from prying eyes on the Internet. Additionally,
if SSL detects that data was added or deleted after you sent
it to the bank, the connection will be severed in order to
guard against any tampering. The most popular browsers have
the SSL security feature built in. How can you tell if your
browser is secure? Click

Secure Environment
Haven Trust Bank Florida's Online Banking System does not connect
directly to the Internet. It is isolated from the network
via a "firewall". A firewall is
a combination of software and hardware products that designate
parameters and control and limit the access that outside
computers have to the bank's internal network and databases.
You can feel secure knowing that our bank's firewall protects
your personal information from unauthorized access.
Secure Logon
User ID's and passwords are isolated from the Internet by
being stored on Haven Trust Bank Florida's Online Banking System
computers. This way, the passwords and ID's can never be
accessed or downloaded by anyone on the Internet. Additionally,
user passwords can vary from eight to ten characters, which
means the chance of randomly guessing a password is less
than one in 1 billion! The system also checks for invalid
logons and automatically disallows a user after three invalid
attempts. This prohibits hackers from gaining access to our
system, thus protecting your accounts.
Your Password
You will be responsible for maintaining one of the most
important security measures, your password. When you
receive your Haven Trust Bank Florida Online Banking password,
you will immediately be asked to change it to a different
password of your choice. Be sure to keep it a secret.
Memorize it, or write it down and keep it in a safe place.
It is not recommended that you carry your password in
your purse or wallet. Make sure no one watches you enter
your password and always close your browser when leaving
the computer. Make sure you regularly scan your computer
for viruses that could be used to capture password keystrokes.
You ultimately hold the key to your password security.
