10 Essential Tips for Secure Online Banking
At Atlantic Commercial Bank, your security is our top priority. Our security team has compiled these essential tips to help you protect your account and personal information in today's digital landscape.
How Atlantic Commercial Bank Protects You
Before diving into what you can do, it's important to understand how Atlantic Commercial Bank protects your account. At atlanticcomercial.org, we employ multiple layers of security:
- 256-bit SSL Encryption: All data transmitted to and from Atlantic Commercial Bank is encrypted using bank-grade security
- Real-Time Fraud Monitoring: Our systems analyze every transaction for suspicious activity
- Automatic Session Timeout: Inactive sessions are automatically logged out
- Biometric Authentication: Support for fingerprint and face recognition on mobile devices
However, security is a shared responsibility. Here are the top 10 things you can do to keep your Atlantic Commercial Bank account safe:
Use Strong, Unique Passwords
Create a password that's at least 12 characters long with a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. Never reuse passwords across different accounts. Atlantic Commercial Bank recommends using a password manager to keep track of your credentials securely.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Atlantic Commercial Bank strongly recommends enabling 2FA on your account. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second verification step—typically a code sent to your phone—before accessing your account.
Monitor Your Accounts Regularly
Check your Atlantic Commercial Bank account frequently for any unauthorized transactions. Our mobile app and online banking at atlanticcomercial.org make it easy to review your activity anytime, anywhere.
Beware of Phishing Attempts
Atlantic Commercial Bank will never ask for your password via email or phone. Be suspicious of any message asking for sensitive information. Always access your account by typing atlanticcomercial.org directly into your browser.
Keep Your Devices Secure
Ensure your computer and mobile devices have up-to-date antivirus software and operating systems. Atlantic Commercial Bank's mobile app is designed with security in mind, but your device's security is the first line of defense.
