Internet Security

Recently you may have heard about the "Heartbleed Bug", which is a security concern for users of Open SSL, a type of encryption software. It can allow attackers to read the memory of the systems using vulnerable versions of Open SSL. It is not a virus but a vulnerability in the software. PremierBank does not run this type of software on any of our computer systems including our website and online banking.

If you would like more information on the Heartbleed Bug, here is a link to a website (http://heartbleed.com/) that has been established with more specifics.

Debit Card Information

Recently the debit card industry has seen an increase in the numbers and amounts of fraudulent activity. Some of the ways you can protect yourself are:

Notify the Bank if you are going to be traveling so we are aware of the potential change in your activity;
Make sure the Bank has your current contact information;
Avoid giving out personal information such as card numbers and account numbers unless for a legitimate business purpose;
Never give out your PIN number;
At stores and ATMs cover your card number and the keypad while entering your PIN;
Online, do not respond to unsolicited emails that ask you to verify your card or account number. Such emails are not sent by legitimate businesses.

If you have questions, please contact the Bank.
