Your transactions are safe. Nuestro Banco works with
leading-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 computers 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 is secure?
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 Nuestro Banco 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 12 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 Nuestro
Banco 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.
