Liberty Bay Bank - Site - What's New? - Online Banking Best Practices

At Liberty Bay Bank, we want to ensure your information is safe and secure in your home or office. Here are some helpful tips:

· Monitor accounts frequently (daily as a best practice). Immediately review Wire, ACH or other transaction confirmations.

· Implement dual controls and approval for ACH and Wire transfers so that dual approval is required before the transaction is initiated at the Originating Depository Financial Institution (ODFI).

· Never share user IDs, passwords, PIN numbers, dynamic tokens, etc. with anyone. Do not leave them in an area that is not locked/secured.

· Do not use the same login or password on any other website or software.

· Obtain and install antivirus, anti-malware and anti-spyware, and consider installation of a firewall (and make sure it is active and automatically updated by the vendor, or take necessary steps to keep it updated).

· Educate all company personnel on good cyber security practices, clearing the internet browser’s cache before and after visiting the Financial Institution’s website, to avoid having malware installed on a computer.

- e.g., if a media player needs to be updated, go to the official media player website to install the update. Clicking on a fake update installation link could just mask a hacker downloading malware onto the computer.

· Verify use of a secure session. (https:// and not http://).

· Avoid saving passwords to a computer.

· Never leave a computer unattended when using any online banking service, and always lock you computer when away.
