Your transactions are absolutely safe. Georgia Commerce works with cutting-edge technology partners to ensure that the most secure environment is made possible for our valued customers. We offer you worry-free Online banking. You can be completely confident of the following security measures:
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 Georgia Commerce’s 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 ten 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 Georgia Commerce 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.
