5 Security 5 Depend on Us for Security There is nothing more important to us than knowing that your online financial transactions are private and secure. Our systems are secured with encryption, perimeter and internal firewalls, screening and filtering routers, intrusion detection, strict authentication, virus protection, and application security. Application security includes a double-blind process for issuing passwords, user lockouts due to failed login, and additional encryption of sensitive user data during sessions. Our network architecture is structured so the servers that store actual account information are not directly connected to the Internet. Confidentiality Security is strengthened by your efforts in keeping all account and login data confidential. Never share your password with anyone and never include account specific details within an unsecured . Passwords The most secure passwords are those which use a combination of both alpha and numeric characters. Avoid using easily obtained personal data within your password, such as initials and birth dates or loved ones names. Enhanced Login Security In addition to password security, extra security steps to verify your identity have been installed on our system called Enhanced Login Security. Part of this identification process includes recognizing the computer you normally use to access Business Online Banking.

20 0 ACH Overview PAYMENTS & TRANSFERS - ACH An Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfer is the electronic transmission of a file which contains pertinent information to the movement of funds between accounts. An ACH transfer is commonly used to expedite direct deposit of payroll, pay bills, concentrate funds from other financial institutions or collect membership dues. An ACH transfer generally consists of multiple transactions and is referred to as a batch. The steps for setting up and submitting an ACH batch are typically as follows:. Maintain Participant: Define individual participants.. Maintain Batch Template: Define batch template details.. Assign Participant to Batch: Attach participants to batch. 4. Initiate Batch: Batch submittal for processing. 5. (Optional) Approve/View ACH Activity: Internal approval of batch before allowing batch release to bank for processing. 6. (Optional) View ACH Activity: Comprehensive view of all ACH activity. The above steps are typical for an ACH user. For an ACH administrator, the main action occurs after the batch submittal. If the batch requires approval for any reason (for example, it exceeds the user s per-transaction or daily limits), it is given a status of Pending. The administrator then uses the Approve/ View ACH Activity function either to approve the batch as is or to deny it and send it back to the user for modification. Note that a batch may be used multiple times once steps one through three are completed. You only need to complete steps one through three again when something changes. For example, you may need to add new participants or remove old ones. In typical usage, simply submitting an ACH batch will be sufficient. Note also that participants may be used in more than one batch.
