Text Banking Security Policy
Introduction
This statement discloses the privacy and security practices for this text banking system. Stewart’s CU respects the privacy and rights of its visitors. Please read the following to learn more about our security policy.
Account Security
Your personal account information will never be provided or requested while using Text Banking. Once signed up, all of your accounts are referenced by the nicknames you set for them, and never by account number. Your Control / Account Number is needed once during the initial signup process to identify you, and is not used after. Your interactions with this website will require only your phone number and password. The information presented on this website cannot be used to identify or compromise your accounts.
Website Security
We use multiple levels of security to protect your account when you use this Text Banking website. All private information submissions require a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. SSL provides a secure communication between you and your credit union with mutual authentication and encryption for privacy, ensuring that your information is kept confidential. Your account login requires a password that is encrypted one-way, preventing your password from ever being recovered. It may only be reset upon answering a personal security question that you will provide during signup. In addition, all
personal data is encrypted when stored in the website database.
Mobile Phone Security
The information sent to you from Text Banking is similar to that printed on a typical ATM receipt—it cannot be used to identify you or compromise your accounts. If your phone is lost or stolen, you should call your mobile provider to cancel service on the phone. Once you replace the phone, and if you keep the same number, Text Banking will continue to work. If you change your number, you will need to enroll your new number using the “Profile” link at the top of the main page of the Text Banking Website.
Accuracy of Information
We make every effort to ensure that our records contain accurate, current, and complete information. If you find that your account information is inaccurate, please contact us. We will promptly investigate and make any necessary changes to update our records. Contacting the Website If you have any questions about these privacy and security statements, the practices of this site, or your interactions with this website, you can contact CompuSource Systems, Inc. with your concerns.
