All information transmitted through the Internet, including your Login ID, Password, your account information and your transaction details, from the moment you log in to the time you log out, are protected by strong end-to-end 128-bit SSL encryption; i.e. from your PC browser to the Bank’s system.

This process ensures that only you, as the account holder will receive the password and will be authorised to carry out transactions on your account.
