    Dollar Bank uses the latest hardware and software technologies to ensure the security of all data.
    Online banking is available only using browsers supporting Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol to protect your message when traveling over the Internet. We require Dollar Bank customers to use 128 bit encryption, the strongest level of SSL encryption available.

    As additional layers of security, Online Banking requires you to answer a security question and verify your Secure Image each time you log in.
    Your Online Banking user ID and password provide one level of security for accessing your accounts using Online Banking. In the event that someone would gain access to this information, a security question provides an additional layer of protection. Security questions are designed to prompt you for an answer that only you would know and have committed to memory. Incorporating a Secure Image within the Online Banking log in helps you recognize that you are logging in to an authentic Dollar Bank website and not an imposter site.

    As an Online Banking customer, we require you to occasionally change your password.

    Dollar Bank discourages the use of tools such as password memory services offered by browsers.
    These pop-up message boxes, asking if you want your computer to remember this password for future log ins, removes a level of security that protects your account access.

    To keep online communication between you and Dollar Bank convenient, yet safe, we implemented a Secure Message Center service.
    Within the security of Online Banking, you can use the Secure Message Center to send and receive messages about your accounts. Click on the mailbox icon anywhere in Online Banking to receive, send and view your messages.

    We've built additional security into the bill payment and transfer functions of Online Banking.
    We do not permit payments or transfers to individuals, only businesses. And, before you can pay a new merchant or set up a new transfer between your Dollar Bank accounts, you must set these up three business days in advance using the Payment & Transfer Maintenance area in Online Banking so we can verify the merchant.

    We've added a double layer of security to our check images to ensure protection of your personal information.
    First layer: Dollar Bank developed the CheckStripSM Window. Shown within your account activity, it's a partial check image with only the payee and amount paid displayed. Information including your name, address, account number, bank routing number, etc. are not displayed.

    Second layer: The first time you click to view a full check image, you will be prompted to enter your ATM PIN using a numbered keypad. Within that session, you can view as many full check images as you like without having to re-enter your PIN.
