Security and Privacy

How We Work to Protect Your Information
Sound management of banking products and services, especially those provided over the Internet, is fundamental to maintaining a high level of public confidence not only in The Guernsey Bank and its brand name, but also in the banking system as a whole. Online Banking and Bill Pay is very secure. The Board of Directors has established sound physical and internal controls within the financial institution, data processing department, and any related e-banking areas to ensure accuracy, integrity and confidentiality of all information processed online.

Key components that help maintain a high level of public confidence in an online banking environment include:

Passwords
Before you access the Online Banking system, you are required to enter your personal User ID and Password. Without the proper login, you cannot see or use any Web pages within the service. After the initial login, you are then required to change your Password for confidentiality. In addition, periodic Password changes are required by the system. And you can change your Password at any time on your own. Please note - We will never contact you by telephone, email or postal mail requesting your User ID or Password.

Account Number Masking and Aliases
Whenever possible, your account numbers will be masked so that only the last four (4) digits of the account number can be viewed.

Secure Connection – SSL Data Encryption
Each time you access your online information, the connection is automatically converted into a secure Internet communications session. Utilizing 128 bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, all transmissions of Web pages and data between the bank and your computer are completely encrypted or ‘scrambled’ so they are unreadable to any person or group that may try to “intercept” the transmission. SSL encryption is the industry standard and is widely used in Internet applications that require security and privacy for sensitive data. For added security a digital certificate is also issued between the bank and the Service Bureau processing center for daily data transmissions.

Physical Security
There are also security precautions related to physical security. Network security and ongoing network monitoring measures have been implemented.This includes issues related to direct dial-in access through private network versus Internet access. State-of-the-art firewalls (a combination of hardware and software between two networks to control traffic in both directions) are used with the Internet banking system as yet another security measure to cover physical security.

Customer Education
It is important to ensure that our customers are educated about security issues that may affect them. Providing education and resources regarding potential security issues works to keep customers informed about the latest security scams and how to avoid becoming a victim of fraud.

So, as you can see, the precautions that are taken with Online Banking security are created by multiple security elements and measures that work together to provide you the most secure environment available today.
