SECURITY STATEMENT

First State Bank of the Florida Keys understands that the security of your personal and financial information is important to you. To assist us in offering these Online Banking services in a secure manner, we utilize several measures which are described below. These measures allow us, among other benefits, to properly authenticate your identity when you access these services and protect your information.

Browser Encryption

First State Bank of the Florida Keys requires the use of secure browsers to protect you while you access our Online Banking services. Your personal and financial information that flows back and forth between your computer and First State Bank of the Florida Keys must be encrypted while in transit.

Verifying User Authenticity

In order to begin a session you must log in by entering your Login ID and password. Additional security questions may be required if using an unregistered computer.  In order to prevent someone from trying to gain access to your information, we will disable your account after either three invalid password attempts or five invalid security answer attempts. Access will continue to be denied until you contact us by phone or in person.

Firewall

An additional protection mechanism known as a firewall is used to protect the computer systems and your information. Firewalls can be thought of as barriers that only let authorized traffic through to First State Bank of the Florida Keys’ system.

How Can I Protect Myself?

Don't Share your password.

Never reveal your password to anyone. Never write it down where anyone can find it or figure out what it is. It is recommended that you do not use names of pets, children or spouses, addresses, phone numbers, birthdays, anniversaries, social security numbers, consecutive numbers or letters, or words that can be found in the dictionary.

Treat your First State Bank of the Florida Keys Login ID and password with more care than you use for your ATM or debit card personal identification number (PIN). This is because in order to perform those transactions, you must possess both the card and the PIN or sign for the transaction. With Internet Banking you only need the Login ID and password.

Be aware of your surroundings when logging into the system. Make sure that no one is in the vicinity watching you enter your password. Also, take standard precautions to keep your computer free from viruses because there are some that could be used to capture your keystrokes and thus your password. We also recommend the use of a personal firewall.

Use the "Exit" Feature

Please use our "Exit" feature if you are going to be away from your computer for an extended period of time. Although your sessions will automatically timeout from inactivity, this does take some time. The exit will end your session thus preventing others from accessing your information. You will be asked to resubmit your Login ID and password before entering the secured web site again. Shutting down your browser is also a good way of preventing others from gaining access.
