INTERNET BANKING FEATURES
INTERNET SECURITY OVERVIEW
Farmers and Mechanics Federal Internet Banking and domain hosting is provided by Digital Insight, a NCR Company. Ensuring you have a secure online banking experience is our number one priority.
This level of security is achieved by:
1. Protecting the privacy and the confidentiality of the communications between your browser and Digital Insight's servers.
2. Verifying that only authorized persons are allowed to access online banking.
3. Maintaining isolation of the Digital Insight computers from the Internet.
To protect all sensitive data from direct access from the Internet, Digital Insight employs the following measures:
Other security notices may be posted on the website regarding security issues. You are responsible for reading all applicable notices
BROWSER SECURITY
Farmers and Mechanics Federal Internet Banking transmits data using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology that supports 128-bit key encryption. It is important to verify that a secure connection between your browser and the Internet Banking server has been established before transmitting any confidential account information over the Internet. An indicator on your web browser can verify this. Refer to your browsers help features to identify the indicator for your specific browser.
Recommended Operating Systems:
HOST SECURITY
Digital Insight provides a number of additional security features in online banking. Online banking will "timeout" after a specified period of inactivity. You may set the timeout period in the User Options screen of online banking. However, we recommend that you always sign-off (log out) when you are done with your online banking.
Any Farmers and Mechanics Federal web server does not connect directly to the Internet. It is buffered from the Internet through the use of a firewall. All access from outside the bank must go through this firewall, which screens the requests and allows only valid http traffic to reach the server. Farmers and Mechanics Federal's Internet Banking makes use of an ICSA certified firewall.
AUTHORIZATION
It is also important to verify that only authorized persons log into home banking. This is achieved by verifying your password. When you submit your password, it is compared with the password we have stored in our secure data center. We allow you to enter your password incorrectly five (5) times. If you enter your password incorrectly five times, your online banking account will be locked until you call us to reinitialize the account. We monitor and record "bad-login" attempts to detect any suspicious activity (i.e., someone trying to guess your password). You play a crucial role in preventing others from logging on to your account. Never use passwords that are easy to guess. Examples of bad passwords are: Birth dates, first names, pet names, addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, etc. Never reveal your password to another person. You should periodically change your password in the User Option screen of online banking.
Digital Insight has also implemented Multi-Factor Authentication as a next step in secure authorization. Upon attempting to log-in, the system will attempt to make contact either by phone, text, or e-mail, with a secure code which must be entered to verify that it is you. Once you are passed this first step, the system will log you in. This security measure may be opted-out after the first authorization. However, we strongly recommend that this feature remain in place for your security.

Thereafter, the lead time for the payee will be three (3) banking days for electronic payments and five (5) banking days by check, as noted on your online payee list. You should schedule payments to allow at least 3 days (before the due date) for electronic payments and at least 5 days (before the due date) for check payments.

If a bill payment identifies an intermediary bank or the payee's bank inconsistently by name and identifying number, you agree that we may rely solely on the number as the proper identification of the intermediary bank or the payee's bank even if it identifies a bank different from the bank identified by name.
