A: Below are best practices for safeguarding your account:

• Do not leave your account information out in an open area or on your computer screen accessible by others.
• Do not send your Username or Password or privileged account information over any e-mail system.
• Create a strong password. The longer and more varied your password is, the harder it will be crack.
• Do not leave your Computer unattended while you are connected to Online Banking.
• Do not enter your Username or Password into Online Banking when there are others nearby who could observe you doing so.
• We recommend that you log out of Online Banking and close your browser completely after each session and/or clear cache and history.
• We recommend that any computer you use to access Online Banking have spyware protection, virus protection and a personal firewall. Moreover, keeping your machine updated with the latest security patches is also good practice.

A: No special hardware or software is required to use Online Banking. All you need is a computer, and access to the Internet. Our site is best viewed using the most current web browsers. As updated browsers are released, this site will evolve with their advancing technology.

To help ensure security, we recommend that any computer you use to access Online Banking have spyware protection, virus protection and a personal firewall. Moreover, keeping your machine updated with the latest security patches is also good practice.

A: If you use Google Chrome, Opera, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox and your browser is enabled for auto updates, your browser will be able to connect to online banking. If auto updates are not enabled, your browser may not be able to connect to Online Banking.

If you're using Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 or Microsoft Edge and your browser is enabled for auto updates, your browser will be able to connect to online banking. Microsoft no longer supports earlier versions of Internet Explorer and is not sending out vulnerability patches after January of 2016. If your preferred browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer, we recommend you update to Internet Explorer 11 or Microsoft Edge.

A: Online Banking resides on a secure server and Equitable Savings & Loan uses encryption technology to ensure the safety and integrity of your account. In addition, we have implemented additional layers of protection for our customers. When you browse to our home page at www.equitable-savings.com, check the address bar in your browser. The most important protection against Online Banking fraud is you! In order to access any account via Online Banking, the user needs a login password. Therefore, we strongly advise that you do not write your password down or give it to anyone. Each account holder should have their own online banking account, accounts should not be shared.

A: Encryption is the process by which data or information is converted into private or secret code that cannot be deciphered. This ensures secure transmission by preventing any non-authorized party from reading or changing data. Information is decoded only when it reaches its destination.

A: Your account should be fine. As soon as you are able to re-access your account, you should verify any transactions you may have attempted to make were completed by reviewing your account history and balances. It may be necessary for you to resubmit any transaction you were in the process of completing when the interruption occurred.

A: It's important to remember to always logout of your account whenever possible. However, if you do forget to do so, the system will "expire" your session. After 20 minutes of inactivity, the system will not allow any further inquiries or transactions and you will be asked to login again if you, or anyone attempts to do so.

A: In order to make your online banking experience as secure as possible, we are requesting all customers complete a security feature that detects any uncharacteristic or unusual behavior involving your account. If anything out of the ordinary is detected, we will verify your identity.

As our customer, we know how you typically behave: what types of transactions you conduct, when and from where. If we detect any activity that does not seem like your typical behavior, we will prompt you to further verify your identity so that we can ensure it is you and not a fraudster attempting to comprise your account. This will only happen on rare occasions. Normally you will not be asked for any additional information.

For example, if someone tries to sign in with your user name and password from a computer in a foreign country shortly after you have logged off from your normal computer at home, we may decide to verify that it is really you trying to access your account.

A: Yes. This includes choosing several security questions that only you know the answers to, as well as supplying phone numbers where you can be reached while banking online. Once this occurs you have added a layer of protection to your account.

A: You will only be prompted to enter additional information when a particular activity or transaction appears to be unusual or uncharacteristic of your typical behavior.

A: If any unusual or uncharacteristic behavior is detected you will be asked to answer several of the security questions you chose. This will most likely be a very rare occurrence.

A: Uncharacteristic or unusual behavior is anything that appears out of the ordinary compared to how you normally would bank online and where you normally bank online. If the action being requested does not appear to be something you would normally do, we will ask you for more information to make sure it is really you and not an unauthorized user.

A: The security system takes into account factors such as the type of transactions you ordinarily perform, the computers you typically use to access your accounts, or the typical security settings for your computer. Hundreds of factors, such as these, create a profile that is unique to you that allows us to make decisions about whether the activity or transaction is consistent with your normal activites and transactions.

A: Once you complete the enrollment process, the new security system will work automatically. That means you are being protected every moment - when you are online and more importantly when you are not. You will be required to complete this enrollment once per year to make sure all of your information is up-to-date in the system.

A: Yes. In fact, your personal information is safer than ever before because we are making sure it is really you and not an unauthorized user trying to access your information.

A: If your user name and password are stolen, the fraudster would have to be able to answer your security questions correctly before being able to access your account or complete a fraudulent transaction. If the user is unable to provide this information or cannot be reached on the phone, the activity would be blocked. This added layer of security helps us protect your online account at all times.

A: It is always a good idea to regularly monitor your account for any unusual activity (like payments you didn't make). This security service helps prevent those incidences from ever occurring, so when you check your account everything is exactly how it should be.

A: We are glad to hear you use antivirus software and a personal firewall. Be sure that you keep both programs up-to-date for the best possible protection against viruses, Trojans, and hackers. This Multi-Factor Authentication security feature protects against other kinds of threats such as a stolen user name and password. It works with your other personal security programs as an added layer of security for your online banking transactions.

A: Within Online Banking it is possible to:

• View and Print Account History.
• Review Account Balances.
• Enable and download E-Statements.
• Transfer funds between deposit transaction accounts.
• Make a loan payment from a deposit transaction account.
• Pay your bills with Bill Pay.

A:Transactions such as transfers are posted to your account upon receipt of funds and can be confirmed online.

A: No. You will not receive receipts for your transactions. However, because account information is updated immediately, you should be able to verify transactions by reviewing your account balance history.

A: Account information is updated immediately. This allows you to verify your transaction by reviewing your account balance history to see if it is reflecting your transaction as having been processed. All transactions will appear on your Equitable Savings & Loan E-statement as well.

A: You can reverse a transfer within the same account number by simply transferring the funds back.

A: There is no limitation specific to Online Banking. Keep in mind, however, that some Equitable Savings & Loan transactions, products and services are subject to their own limitations and terms. For example, Federal Regulation D requirements are such that, you may make a maximum of six (6) preauthorized, automatic or telephone transfers per monthly payment cycle on a savings or money market account. No more than three (3) of the six (6) transfers may be made by check, draft, debit or similar order made by you and payable to third parties, including point-of-sale transactions. Not all products offered allow these features.
