What browser should I use for online banking? Expand/Collapse

Browsers are the software programs you use for the World Wide Web and they have seen improvements over the years. Please ensure that the browser you are using to access your account online is a current version.

We recommend using 128-bit browsers, containing the highest level of encryption generally available. It also provides you with the best protection when sending confidential information over the Internet. Updating your browser will allow us to provide the best and most-secure experience online.

What is encryption? Expand/Collapse

Encryption is the process of converting data into a secure and random format for transmission. That makes it extremely difficult for anyone but the intended user to decode. It is just like writing a letter, converting it into secret code and mailing it. After, the recipient descrambles the secret code upon receiving the letter. There are 2 levels of encryption generally available in web browsers: 40-bit encryption, and 128-bit encryption. MemberDirect requires users to have a web browser that supports 128-bit encryption.

What is the difference between 40-bit and 128-bit encryption? Expand/Collapse

128-bit encryption has (three followed by 26 zeroes) times as many ways to convert the data into code than 40-bit. Most browsers support 40-bit encryption but we recommend using 128-bit encryption. We recommend the 128-bit because it offers the highest level of protection when using online banking and sending confidential information.

MemberDirect requires users to have a web browser that supports 128-bit encryption.
