How current is the information on Merchants & Marine Internet Banking?
|
|
A.
|
Unlike other financial institutions, which update information in "batches" one or two times a day, Merchants & Marine Internet Banking is "real time." Account balances and transactions for savings and checking accounts are generally current and will reflect transactions made during the day as they occur when using an ATM or Merchants & Marine Internet Banking. This includes transfers, deposits and withdrawals. Transactions conducted by a teller are usually posted by the end of the business day. Please remember that depositing checks at a teller may require time for the check to clear before it is credited to your account. As a result, you may not immediately see the check on Merchants & Marine Internet Banking until it clears. Please see your Regulation CC disclosure for a description of when funds become available.
Balances for other account types, such as loans and CDs, are generally current as of the end of the previous business day.

Are Merchants & Marine Internet Banking and Merchants & Marine Bill Pay secure and confidential?
|
|
A.
|
Merchants & Marine has taken extensive measures to ensure clients can access their account information securely and safely anytime, including through Merchants & Marine Internet Banking, Telephone Banking, and ATMs. We have the systems and strategies in place to effectively manage the risks of doing business over the World Wide Web. These include:
- Fire Walls
– Fire walls are hardware and software we use to prevent unauthorized Internet users from getting into our internal networks.
- Usercodes/Passwords
– These allow us a constantly updated way to selectively allow customers and employees into our systems.
- Testing
– We hire an outside company to actively evaluate the effectiveness of our computer systems security, using the most advanced hacking tools available. This ensures we have the most current systems and strategies in place to protect our clients and account information.
- Computer Use Policy
– Merchants & Marine has a clearly defined and enforceable internal computer use policy. This important policy outlines the overriding rules under which all Merchants & Marine employees must operate. It not only allows us to administer security, but also gives us grounds to reprimand employees who violate it.
- Encryption
– All transactions conducted on Merchants & Marine Internet Banking and Merchants & Marine Bill Pay are encrypted using SSL technology. We employ 128-bit SSL encryption, which is the strongest encryption commercially available today.
- Audit Trails and Access Logs
– We keep track of both clients’ and employees’ activity on our systems. This information can be monitored, especially in situations of potential violation.
- Intrusion Detection
– We have hardware and software systems in place, which detect if someone is trying to get in illegally.
There are also things clients can do to help protect themselves as well. Never give out your user code and password to anyone or write it down and identify it as your password. Never use an obvious password or a password that could be easily guessed, such as the name of your spouse or your street address. Also, it is important to remember to log off of Merchants & Marine Internet Banking once you have completed your session. If there has been no activity for 15 minutes, your session will automatically terminate as an additional security measure. You will not receive any warning of this session termination. If you wish to continue your online banking session, simply log on to Merchants & Marine Internet Banking again.

How do my user code and password protect the security of my transactions?
|
|
A.
|
One key part of our security system involves you directly: you must maintain the secrecy of your user code and password. Never write your password down in a way that someone could associate it with your user code. If you forget your user code or password or think someone else may have access to it, call Merchants & Marine Bank and speak to a Customer Service Representative at 1-866-229-9415 or 1-228-762-3311 Monday - Thursday 8am - 4pm and Friday 8am - 5pm or call any Merchants & Marine location.
Merchants & Marine Internet Banking will allow you to attempt to enter your user code and password up to three times. If after the third time, you again fail to enter the correct user code and password, you will be locked out of Merchants & Marine Internet Banking. You must call Merchants & Marine Bank for assistance or wait until the next business day for this to reset. This is to prevent hackers from randomly trying to enter access codes.
Even though you may be locked out of Merchants & Marine Internet Banking, you still have access to your accounts at a Merchants & Marine Bank location, through Merchants & Marine Telephone Banking, at ATMs, and by calling a Merchants & Marine Bank Customer Service Representative at 1-866-229-9415 or 1-228-762-3311 Monday - Thursday 8am - 4pm and Friday 8am - 5pm.
