Security Considerations

Through Frontier Bank's leading technology partners we provide a secure environment for Internet Banking. Listed below are security measures enforced to protect your Internet-based banking transactions:

Secure Communications

Data is encrypted as it travels to and from your PC. Encryption is accomplished through a 128 bit "Secure Sockets Layer," the de facto standard for data encryption on the Internet. This means unauthorized individuals are less likely to decipher your sensitive financial information.

Secure Login

User IDs and passwords are encrypted and stored on our bank's computer, isolated from the Internet, where they can not be accessed or downloaded by anyone on the Internet. In addition, because Frontier Bank Online Banking user passwords require a minimum of eight alpha-numeric characters, the chance of randomly guessing a password is less than one in 1,000,000,000,000. (That's 1,000 billion!)

PassMark

PassMark is designed to further protect your online banking account from the growing number of Internet security threats. It adds extra layers of security to prevent unauthorized access to your accounts and provides assurance that you are at Frontier Bank’s website. This is done by requiring additional verification during your online banking log-in process.

Secure Environment

Our computer system does not connect directly to the Internet. It is isolated from the network via a "firewall" -- a software and hardware product that defines, controls and limits the access that "outside" computers have to the bank's computer. This firewall subscribes to the standards set by the NCSA (National Computer Security Association). In other words, the firewall is designed to allow only authenticated bank customers or administrators to send or receive transactions through it.

Security Reviews

We provide continuous monitoring and auditing of all transactions originating from or outbound to the Internet. We operate with all the rules and regulations of banking and bank security as set forth by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. We are committed to working with our communications providers to produce the safest operating environment possible for our customers and will take advantage of evolving security enhancements.
