Your transactions are absolutely safe. First Century Bank works with cutting edge technology partners to ensure that the most secure environment is made possible for our valued customers. We offer you worry free Internet banking. You can be completely confident of the following security measures:

Our system ensures that data exchanged between your PC and our computers is encrypted with 128-bit encryption-the strongest encryption available. Encryption is accomplished through Secure Sockets Layers (SSL) which utilize mathematical formulas to "encrypt" or hide information from prying eyes on the Internet. Additionally, if SSL detects that data was added or deleted after you sent it to the bank, the connection will be severed in order to guard against any tampering. The most popular browsers have the SSL security feature built in. How can you tell if your browser is secure? Click here.

Our computer system does not connect directly to the Internet. It is isolated from the network via a "firewall". A firewall is a combination of software and hardware products that designate parameters, control and limit the access that outside computers have to the banks internal network and databases. You can feel secure knowing that our firewall protects your personal information from unauthorized access.

User ID’s and passwords are isolated from the Internet by being stored on First Century’s computer. This way the passwords and ID’s can never be accessed or downloaded by anyone on the Internet. Additionally, user passwords can vary from six to eight characters, which means the chance of randomly guessing a password is less than one in 1 billion! The system also checks for invalid logins and automatically disallows a user after three invalid attempts. This prohibits the "hacker" from gaining access to our system thus protecting your accounts.
