This agreement is in consideration of the Online Banking service ("Service") to be provided by Security State Bank ("the Bank") to its customers. In this agreement, "the Customer" refers to the person(s) or companies subscribing to or using the Service. The Customer may use a Personal Computer ("PC") through an Internet connection to obtain account balances and transaction information. The Customer may also use its PC to obtain statements on its accounts and to transfer money between its accounts.

Alterations and Amendments

Security State Bank reserves the right to modify this Agreement and the applicable fees and service charges at any time, effective upon 30 days prior notice to you via postal letter to the last address you have given us, e-mail message, or as posted when accessing the Service, unless an immediate change is necessary to ensure the security of the Service. Further we may revise or update the applications, services, and related material, rendering all such prior versions obsolete. Consequently, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement as to all such prior versions and applications, services, and related material and limit access to only the Service's most recent revisions and updates. Use of the Service or attempting to connect to the Service, constitutes your agreement with these corresponding terms, conditions, instructions, and any modifications.

2. Your User ID and Password

Each individual who has access to Security State Bank Online Banking, including each individual named on joint accounts or corporate accounts, must designate a User ID and Password. The Bank may accept as authentic any instructions given to it through the use of the Customer’s User ID and Password. The Customer agrees to keep its User ID and Password secret and to notify the Bank immediately upon the Customer discovering its User ID or Password is lost or stolen or if the Customer believes someone else has discovered its User ID or Password. The Customer agrees that if it gives its User ID or Password to someone else, the Customer is authorizing them to act on its behalf, and the Bank may accept any instructions they give the Bank to make transfers or otherwise use the Service. Online Banking Service enables the Customer to change its Password. The Bank may be liable for certain security breaches to the extent required by applicable law and regulation; however, the Bank does not assume any other liability or otherwise guarantee the security of information in transit to or from the Bank’s facilities.

The Bank reserves the right to (1) monitor and/or record all communications and activity related to the Service; and (2) require verification of all requested transfers in the manner the Bank deems appropriate before making the transfer (which may include written verification by the Customer). The Customer agrees that the Bank’s records will be final and conclusive as to all questions concerning whether or not the Customer’s User ID or Password was used in connection with a particular transaction. If any unauthorized use of the Customer’s User ID or Password occurs, the Customer agrees to (1) cooperate with the Bank and appropriate law enforcement authorities in identifying and prosecuting the perpetrator; and (2) provide reasonable assistance requested by the Bank in recovering any unauthorized transfers of funds.

3. Recurring Transfers

Recurring transfers are those made for the same amount and are made weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc. Once started, recurring transfers will be made automatically until the Customer notifies the Bank to stop or cancel the service. Recurring transfers initially set up through online banking can be cancelled through online banking. Recurring transfers initially set up at a branch location need to be cancelled by notifying the Bank in writing at least three business days before the scheduled date of the transfer.

4. Statements

All payments and transfers made with the Service will appear on the Customer’s monthly account statement. The amount and date of the transaction will be shown for each transaction made through the Service during that month.

5. Equipment

The Customer is solely responsible for the equipment (including, in the case of Online Banking, the Customer’s personal computer and software) it uses to access the Service. The Bank is not responsible for errors or delays or the Customer’s inability to access the Service caused by the Customer’s equipment. The Bank is not responsible for the cost of upgrading the Customer’s equipment to stay current with the Service, nor is the Bank responsible, under any circumstances, for any damage to the Customer’s equipment or the data resident thereon.

6. Business Days

The Service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except during maintenance periods, for the scheduling of transfers. Transfers will be completed only on business days (Monday through Friday – holidays not included). Transfers submitted after 6:00 pm Central Time will be posted the next business day.

7. Confidentiality

The Bank may disclose information to third parties about the Customer’s account or the transactions made by the Customer:

In order to verify the existence and condition of the Customer’s account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or a merchant; or
In order to comply with government agency rules, court orders, or other applicable law; or
To the Bank’s employees, service providers, auditors, regulators, collection agents, affiliated companies, or attorneys in the course of their duties and to the extent allowed by law; or

After receipt of the Customer’s call, the Bank may send a written termination authorization to the Customer for the Customer’s signature. The Customer will need to sign the termination agreement and return it to the Bank.

PLEASE REMEMBER RECURRING TRANSFERS WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE DISCONTINUED BECAUSE THE CUSTOMER TERMINATES ACCESS TO THE SERVICE. THE CUSTOMER MUST TELL THE BANK TO MAKE SURE THAT RECURRING TRANSFERS BETWEEN ACCOUNTS ARE STOPPED.

The Bank reserves the right to terminate the Service, in whole or in part, at any time with or without cause and without prior written notice to the Customer. In that event, or in the event that the Customer gives the Bank a termination notice, the Bank may (but is not obligated to) immediately discontinue making previously authorized transfers, including recurring transfers and other transfers that were previously authorized but not yet made. The Bank also reserves the right to temporarily suspend the Service in situations deemed appropriate by the Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, including when the Bank believes a breach of system security has occurred or is being attempted. The Bank may consider repeated incorrect attempts to enter the Customer’s PIN or password as an indication of any attempted security breach. Termination of the Service does not affect the Customer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to occurrences before termination.

9. Limitation of Liability

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by law, the Bank is not responsible for any loss, injury, or damage, whether direct, indirect, special or consequential, caused by the Service or the use thereof or arising in any way out of the installation, operation, or maintenance of the Customer’s PC equipment.

The Customer, in consideration of being allowed access to the Service, agrees to indemnify and hold Security State Bank harmless for any losses or damages to the Bank resulting from the use of the service, to the extent allowed by applicable law.

14. Security Procedures

By accessing the Service, the Customer hereby acknowledges entering a protected web site owned by the Bank, which may be used only for authorized purposes. The Bank may monitor and audit usage of the System, and all persons are hereby notified that use of the Service constitutes consent to such monitoring and auditing. Unauthorized attempts to up-load information and/or change information on these websites are strictly prohibited and are subject to prosecution under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986.

The Bank utilizes several levels of security within its security framework. User Level deals with cryptography and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, and is the first line of defense used by all customers accessing the Bank’s Banking Server from the public Internet. The Server Level will focus on firewalls, filtering routers, and the Bank’s operating system. Host Level deals specifically with the Bank’s Internet banking services, and the processing of secure financial transactions.

User Level

The Bank utilizes several components of User Level security that ensure the confidentiality of information sent across the public Internet. The first requires the Customer’s use of an SSL supported browser, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, or Safari. SSL is an open protocol that allows a user’s browser to establish a secure channel for communicating with the Bank’s Internet server. SSL utilizes highly effective cryptography techniques between the Customer’s browser and the Bank’s server to ensure the information being passed is authentic, cannot be deciphered, and has not been altered en route. SSL also utilizes a digitally signed certificate that ensures the Customer is truly communicating with the Online Banking Server and not a third party trying to intercept the transaction. After a secure connection has been established between the Customer’s browser and the Bank’s server, the Customer will then provide a valid User ID and password to gain access to the Bank’s services. This information is encrypted, logged by the server forming another complete physical security layer to protect the server’s information, and a request to log on to the system is processed. Although SSL utilizes proven cryptography techniques, it is important for the Customer to protect its User ID and password from others, and the Customer agrees to do so. The Customer must follow the password parameters the Bank specifies at the time the Customer signs up for an Internet banking account. The Customer also agrees to change its passwords often. Session time-outs and a limit on the number of logon attempts are examples of other security measures in place to help ensure that inappropriate activity is prohibited at the User Level.

Server Level

All transactions sent to the Bank’s Banking Server must first pass through a filtering router system. These filtering routers automatically direct the request to the appropriate server, after ensuring the access type is through only a secured browser. The routers verify the source and destination of each network packet and manage the authorization process of letting packets through. The filtering routers are designed to also prohibit all other types of Internet access methods at this point. This process is designed to block all non-secured activity and defend against inappropriate access to the server. The Banking Server is protected using an up-to-date firewall platform. This platform defends against system intrusions and effectively isolates all but approved customer financial requests. The platform also secures the hardware running the online applications and prevents associated attacks against all systems connected to the Banking Server. The system is monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week for a wide range of anomalies to determine if attempts are being made to breach the security framework.

Host Level

Once authenticated, the Customer is allowed to process authorized Internet banking transactions using host data. In addition, communication time-outs ensure that the request is received, processed and delivered within a given time frame. Security is designed to deny any outside attempt to delay or alter the process. Further password encryption techniques are implemented at the host level, as well as additional security logging and another complete physical security layer to protect the host information itself.

User Responsibilities

While the Bank’s service provider continues to evaluate and implement the latest improvements in Internet security technology, users of the online banking system also have a responsibility for the security of their information and must always follow the directions listed below:

Utilize the latest versions of supported browsers. The online banking system is best viewed and is most secure when the Customer uses a supported browser.
Keep the Customer’s password confidential. The Customer must follow the Bank’s specific parameters for a password, and the Bank recommends the Customer change it frequently to ensure the information cannot be guessed or used by others.
Ensure that others are not watching the Customer enter confidential information on the keyboard when using the system.
Never leave the computer unattended while logged onto the online banking system. Others may approach the computer and gain access to Customer account information while the Customer is away from the computer.
Be sure to sign off when finished using the system to properly end the session. Once a session has been terminated, no further transactions can be processed until the system is logged into again.
Close the browser when finished so that others cannot view any account information displayed on the computer.
Keep the computer being used free of viruses and spyware. Use virus and spyware protection software to routinely check for a virus or spyware on the computer being used. Never allow a virus or spyware to remain on the computer while accessing the online banking system.
Report all crimes to the Bank and law enforcement officials immediately.

Following these simple security measures will help ensure interaction with the Online Banking system will be completely confidential. Security State Bank looks forward to serving your Online Banking needs both today and in the future---securely!
