Protecting Information
Our Confidentiality and Security Safeguards

Our employees and contractors are only permitted access to customer information that they may need to perform their jobs and to provide services to you. Our employees and contractors have access to such customer information as necessary to conduct a transaction or respond to your inquiries. All employees and contractors are required to respect customer privacy. No one except our employees and contractors has access to the Bank's computer system and records storage. The Bank has established internal security controls, including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect the information you provide to us and the information we collect about you.

We have measures in place to protect the integrity of customer information such as maintaining back-up copies of account data in the event of power outages or other business interruptions. We use computer virus detection and eradication software and employ other technical means (known as "firewalls") to protect against unauthorized computer entry into systems containing customer information.
