Security information
Your online security is important to us. We are committed to safeguarding
your personal information online to keep it secure and confidential. We employ a
number of measures to provide bill payment in a secure manner. These measures
allow us to properly authenticate your identity when you access bill payment and
protect your information as it traverses the Internet.
When you login, your User ID and Password are sent over the Internet from
your computer to ours using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. SSL encrypts
your personal information before it leaves your computer. Encryption is the
scrambling of information for transmission back and forth between two points. To
ensure that no one else can read the data, encryption uses a mathematical
formula to scrambles the data. A key is then required to decode the transmitted
data. We require a 128-bit encryption, the strongest encryption available.
There are two ways to check if your online session is secure. You can look
for the letters https:// at the beginning of the Web site address or URL in your
Web browser. The "s" means secure. Additionally, there will be a padlock icon on
the lower corner of your browser window.
