Strong Passwords: To protect your online banking account, we recommend you use a maximum strength, complex password for online banking.

Wondering how to build a strong password? Check out the tips below on how to keep your account information secure:

  • Ensure your passwords are not similar to other active passwords.
  • Store your log-in information in a secure password manager app; do not write them down or store them in you phone.
  • Never share log-in information with another person.
  • Don’t use meaningful dates, names, or places as a password.
  • Avoid common patterns such as capitalizing the first letter or putting a number at the end.

Did you know? A 12-character password takes 62 trillion times longer to crack than an 8-character password.
