What We Do And What Can You Do

NexBank is committed to deploying the latest and most secure technology to safeguard our clients' information. From multi-factor authentication every time you log into your Online Banking Account, to maintaining secure technology throughout all of our locations — we are serious about safeguarding your information at all times.
Fully-enabled Secure Socket Layer website: This technology is utilized to encrypt any information such as User IDs, Passwords or any other information transmitted over the internet. When you visit an SSL site, you will notice the web address begins with HTTPS and the lock to the right of your address bar will be engaged. SSL websites engage today’s most secure and leading website security protocols.

SHA 256 (Secure Hash Algorithm)

Always sign out of secure websites, such as Online Banking, or any website that requires a User ID and password.

Be extremely cautious sharing your e-mail address with questionable websites. This can increase the risk of receiving fraudulent emails that are attempting to capture personal information.

Suspicious email or pop-up window: Never provide any personally identifying or sensitive information in response to an e-mail or pop-up window. Never click on any links contained within a suspicious e-mail. NexBank will never e-mail you or utilize pop-up windows to verify or obtain any personal or account information.

Submitting forms online: It is best to only submit personal information or make a purchase on sites that are fully SSL (Secure Socket Layer) enabled and trusted. Remember: An SSL enabled website address will start with HTTPS and the padlock to the right of your address bar will be engaged. Sites that use SHA 256 (Secure Hash Algorithm) provide additional security.

User ID and Password control: Do not maintain a central and written list of any of your online account accesses or accounts. If you choose to maintain this information in an electronic file on your PC, be sure to encrypt or password protect the document, or utilize trusted software to secure records of your various log-in credentials.

Printed statements and other mail: Always review your monthly or regular statements on any financial account. Immediately investigate any suspicious or questionable transaction(s). Prior to throwing in the garbage, be sure to shred any and all documentation or mail that can readily identify you, a family member, your address or any other personal information. Old bank statements, credit card applications, unused deposit slips are common items perpetrators look for in trash or dumpsters.

Wallet and Purse: Losing either can be a trying ordeal. Be sure to limit the number of credit cards you carry, do not carry your birth certificate, voter registration or social security card unless these items are needed for a specific purpose on a particular day.

Be Prepared: Maintain a list of the financial institutions, and their phone numbers, where you have credit cards, bank accounts or investments. DO NOT KEEP YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBERS HERE. Institutions can locate your account and verify your identity in other ways. If your wallet/purse, ATM/check card or other related items have been lost or stolen, contact your financial institutions immediately.
Control physical access to your personal computer (PC) at all times: Do what you can to prevent unauthorized access to your PC. Also, choose passwords that are not easily connected to you (i.e., child’s DOB, your DOB, social security number, etc.)

Maintain your virus software: Install, update and scan your PC regularly for risks, spyware and other exposures. Be careful when downloading Java or ActiveX applications. And only use software from reliable and trusted sources.
 
Ensure that your internet browser is set to the highest level of encryption available for your system. NexBank’s Online Banking Suite requires the use of 256-bit encryption.

Protect yourself from Identity Theft:
Identity theft involves someone stealing your personal information to open new accounts or to initiate transactions in your name or to access your existing accounts and steal your money. Visit the Federal Trade Commission’s anti-Identity Theft site at http://ftc.gov/idtheft to learn more about Identify Theft.

Keep your online banking username and password confidential and NexBank recommends that you change your online banking password every 90 days to maintain the security of your account. Do not use the same password across multiple sites. For extra protection use a combination of capital letters, lower case letters, numbers, or special characters in your password. See the Information Storage and Disposal section for more information on how to keep your password secure.

Report phishing and email scams:
Phishing is a process criminals may use in their attempts to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, account numbers and financial information. They send an email posing as a legitimate company and these emails may contain links to fake websites or request that you to share personal or financial information.

To help protect your security while you are online, you should never open attachments, click on links, or respond to emails from suspicious or unknown senders. See the Customer Communication section for more information.
