Woodland Bank


We chose Equifax as our online banking service provider because it allows our customers to conduct financial business from virtually anywhere in the world in a secure environment. Our service provider utilizes Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to ensure all data transmissions are encrypted and are unreadable to any person or group that became able to "intercept" the transmission. SSL encryption is the industry standard and is commonly used in Internet applications that require security and privacy for sensitive data. Our service provider also utilizes user ids and passwords. Without the proper login, customers cannot see or use any Web pages within the online banking site. BROWSER SECURITY. Woodland Bank 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. This can be verified by an indicator on your web browser. Netscape Navigator has a key symbol that appears in the lower left corner of the screen. When the symbol appears "solid" transmitted data is being encrypted. When this symbol appears "broken", a secure session has not been established. Similarly, Microsoft Internt Explorer has a lock symbol that appears when data is being encrypted. When this symbol does not appear, a session is not secure. LINKS.

While our service provider continues to evaluate and implement the latest improvements in Internet security technology, users of the online banking system also have responsibility for the security of their information and should always follow the recommendations listed below: Utilize the latest 128-bit encryption version of either Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. The online banking system is best viewed and is most secure when you use one of these browsers. Your User Id and Password must be kept confidential. You must follow our specific parameters for a password and change it frequently to ensure that the information cannot be guessed or used by others. Be sure others are not watching you enter information on the keyboard when using the system. Never leave your computer unattended while logged on to the online banking system. Others may approach your computer and gain access to your account information if you walk away. Click Exit when you are finished using the system to properly end your session. Once a session has been ended, no further transactions can be processed until you log on to the system again. Close your browser when you are finished, so that others cannot view any account information displayed on your computer. Keep your computer free of viruses. Use virus protection software to routinely check for a virus on your computer. Never allow a virus to remain on your computer while accessing the online banking system. Report all crimes to law enforcement officials immediately.
