A Word About Passwords

Your password is the key to your account. Guard it carefully, and do not give it to anyone. Here are a few simple guidelines to help with passwords:

Select a password that has some meaning to you, but would be difficult for others to guess
Use at least six characters, although eight is better
Avoid single words or names
Use both letters and numbers


Signing Off

For security reasons, you must always use the "Exit" button when you have completed an iBanking session. This ensures that no one can gain access to your accounts by using your computer. The "Exit" button will allow you to return to the iBanking Login screen or home page.


Emptying Your PC Cache Memory

For added security, empty your computer's RAM or working memory after each iBanking session. The working memory or cache speeds up your web access, but also stores copies of the pages you have viewed. How you clear your cache will depend on the browser you use. To learn how to empty your cache, see either your browser's or iBanking's online Help.


Printing Pages

To print any page from iBanking, you must have a printer attached to your PC. Before printing, click on the page area you want to print. This ensures the area is "active" and the correct page prints. Then select your browser's print icon. The page will then print.
