NEW BROWSER REQUIREMENTS

As part of our ongoing effort in increase the security of our website, we will soon require all browsers accessing secure pages within our Internet Banking website to support 128-bit encryption. Te determine if your browser supports 128-bit encryption, click on "Help" in the toolbar of your Internet browser and click on "About [browser name]". A pop-up box or window will display.

If your browser does not support 128-bit encruption, you will need to upgrade to a browser that does in order to continue to access secure pages of the website. Recommended browsers include:

  • Netscape Navigator 4.75

  • Internet Explorer 5.0 or 6.0
  • AOL 6,7 or 8

but other browsers that support 128-bit encruption may also work.

CAN I UPGRADE THE ENCRYPTION LEVEL OF MY BROWSER WITHOUT UPDATING THE BROWSER VERSION?

That depends on the browser and version you are currently using.

Netscape

Netscape browser versions earlier than 6 do not have a 128-bit encryption only upgrade. You must perform a full upgrade to a version of Netscape that supports 128-bit encryption and then specifically request the higher leverl of encryption.

While our website is not certified with Netwcape 6 adn 7, these browser versions may work and allow you to download the SmartUpdate Plugin, which will update the browser to 128-bit encryption without upgrading to a new browser version.

Internet Explorer

If you are using Internet Explorer 3 or earlier, you must perform a full upgrade to Internet Explorer Version 5 with 128-bit encryption.

If you are using Internet Explorer 4 or later, you may perform a partial 128-bit encryption only upgrade by following the instructions below.

AOL

AOL uses the Internet Explorer browser and is subject to the same conditions as Internet Explorer.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO UPGRADE?

INTERNET EXPLORER

In Internet Explorer, click on help and select About Internet Explorer. The window that pops up should say "Cipher strength: 128-bit". If it does not, clicking on "Update Information" will take you to the link below, which contains instructions for upgrading Internet Exlorer:
