When using Internet banking, you may set authorizations and limits for any transactions where money is tranferred from your account. You may block certain online transactions; you can also set lower limits than the standard bank limits for certain transactions, to ensure Internet banking with lower limits.

To change Authorization and Limit Settings: Security Settings – User Settings – Authorization and Limit Settings

Choose whether your accounts/credit cards are displayed on Internet, Telephone or WAP banking as well as authorize the accounts that are restricted to viewing only. You may also choose transactions to occur with full authorization from the Account Restriction Settings menu. This way, only the accounts/cards you select will appear in the Internet banking, in accordance with your own user specifications.

To change Authorization and Limit Settings: Security Settings – User Settings – Account Restriction Settings

You may prefer to use Internet banking only to view your account summary or your credit card statements — for inquiries only. If so, you may define your Access Authority as "Only for inquiry," within the Access Authority Definition section. This setting will prevent any financial transactions via Internet banking, displaying only information about your account/credit cards.

To perform financial transactions online, you can change your Access Authority to "Authorized for all financial transactions."

To change Authorization and Limit Settings: Security Settings – User Settings – Access Authority Definition

If you use Internet banking only within certain hours on weekdays or weekends, you can prevent online access to your account outside of these hours.

For example, if you only use Internet banking on weekdays, you may prevent access during the weekend by setting your authorizations accordingly.

To change Authorization and Limit Settings: Security Settings – User Settings – Time Settings

Enter the IP range you use to access Internet banking (using the IP Settings step) and prevent access from any other IP addresses. This will prevent access to your account from any computer except the ones you use at home or at work.

To change Authorization and Limit Settings: Security Settings – User Settings – IP Settings

Decide on your vacation dates and prevent access to your account during that period. During the specified period Internet banking will be inaccessible even for inquiries (i.e., checking account balance).

To change Authorization and Limit Settings: Security Settings – User Settings – Holiday Settings

You may change your pre-set Internet banking User ID through the User ID Settings section.

To change Authorization and Limit Settings: Security Settings – User Settings – User ID Settings

You may change your Internet Banking Security Settings from Internet Banking or at one of our branches.

You may also define your security settings changes to be conducted "Only from the Branch," "Only through Internet Banking" or "From both the Branch and Internet Banking." In this way, you can control the location from where your changes are made.

This does not apply to Time Settings, IP and Holiday Settings, which can be changed online or at a branch.

Every transaction made via our bank is recorded and stored with the highest regard for the privacy of your personal information.
