Your transactions are absolutely safe. Florida
Traditions 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 computer networks 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

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 Florida Traditions Bank computer.
This way, the passwords and IDs can never be accessed
or downloaded by anyone on the Internet. Additionally,
user passwords can vary from six to twelve
characters, 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 three 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 Florida Traditions
Bank 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.”
Multifactor Authentication
Recently an additional layer of security and fraud
protection has been added to help prevent identity
theft. Now when you signup for Internet banking
you will be required to establish a security image
and three security questions. Your
security image will help to confirm that the website
you are visiting is authentic and your passcodes
will serve as a second layer of security to verify
your identity on non-registered computers.
