How does My Banking Direct protect my personal information?

We use several methods to ensure that your information is secure. TLS—Transport Layer Security is a protocol that ensures privacy between communicating applications and their users on the internet. When a server and client communicate, TLS ensures that no third party may eavesdrop or tamper with any message. Encryption—Encryption makes your information unreadable as it passes over the internet. Automatic Sign Out—This built-in feature automatically signs you out of a session if you are inactive for a predefined time. It is best if you sign out immediately after you finish your tasks.
