Online Banking
In an effort to keep our customers and their accounts safe, Classic City Bank has implemented strong security measures across all online and mobile banking systems. In addition to strong username and password requirements, all online banking systems have an additional layer of authenticating technology, known as Multi Factor Authentication. These measures help ensure that your online banking sessions are safe and secure.
Do not open email from unknown sources. Be suspicious of emails claiming to be from a financial institution, government department, or other agency requesting account information, account verification, or banking access credentials such as usernames, passwords, PIN codes, and similar information. Opening file attachments or clicking on web links in suspicious emails could expose your system to malicious code that could hijack your computer.
Classic City Bank will never email, call, or otherwise ask you for your username, password, or other digital banking credentials.
If an email claiming to be from your financial institution seems suspicious, check with your financial institution before opening.
Install anti-virus and spyware detection software on all computer systems. Free software may not provide protection against the latest threats compared with an industry standard product.
Update all computers regularly with the latest versions and patches of both anti-virus and anti-spyware software.
Ensure computers are patched regularly, particularly operating systems and key applications.
Install a dedicated, actively managed firewall, especially if using a broadband or dedicated connection to the Internet, such as DSL or cable. A firewall limits the potential for unauthorized access to your network and computers.
Check your settings and select, at minimum, a medium level of security for your browser.
Clear the browser cache before starting any online banking session to eliminate copies of web pages that have been stored on the hard drive. How the cache is cleared depends on the browser and version you are using. This function is generally found in the browser's preferences menu.
If at any time you notice suspicious account activity, contact us immediately at 706-222-2265.
Classic City Bank strongly advises all customers utilizing Mobile Banking to adequately safeguard your mobile device. Following the guidelines below in conjunction with adherence to our Mobile Banking Terms & Conditions will help ensure the safety and protection of your bank account.
