Security
Your
transactions are absolutely safe. Asian Bank works with cutting-edge
technology partners to ensure that the most secure environment is made
possible for our valued customers. We offer you worry-free Internet
banking. You can be completely confident of the following security
measures:
Secure
Communications
Our
system ensures that data-exchanged between your PC and our computers are
encrypted with 128-bit encryption – the strongest encryption available.
Encryption is accomplished through Secure Sockets Layers (SSL), which
utilizes 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 included. How can you tell if your browser
is secure? Click here.
Secure
Environment
Our
computer 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 banks’ internal
networks and databases. You can feel secure knowing that our firewall
protects your personal information from unauthorized access.
Secure
Login
User IDs
and passwords are isolated from the Internet by being stored on Asian
Bank’s computer. This way, the passwords and IDs can never be assessed
or downloaded by anyone on the Internet. Additionally, user passwords can
vary from six to sixteen characters [depends on bank specs], which means
the chance of randomly guessing a password is less than one in one
billion! The system also checks for invalid logins and automatically
disallows a user after four invalid attempts. This prohibits the
‘hacker’ 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 ABDirectNet online banking
password, be sure to keep it a secret. Memorize it, or write it down and
keep it in a safe place. It is not recommended 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.
