Centrix Bank utilizes the most advanced security available today. We understand that the security of your personal and account information is important to you and is equally important to us! All sensitive information is encrypted and online access requires a personal ID and password known only to you. These measures allow us to properly authenticate your identity and prevent anyone other than yourself from accessing your information.

Processing System Security Software

Centrix Bank CentriNet Online Banking is a secure area. Centrix takes every step to ensure that no one can view, obtain, or intercept information from this secure area. Additionally, no one can access your account information without a proper online banking ID and online banking password. Never give your online login information to anyone (refer to protecting online information below).

SSL and Firewalls

Centrix Bank CentriNet Online Banking is accessed through a Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”). This means all data transmitted to or from Centrix Bank’s computer system is encrypted using the most sophisticated security available to protect your money and privacy. Additionally, several firewalls prevent unauthorized access to the system and ensure your information is accessible only by using your correct online banking ID and online banking password. A series of firewalls and filtering routers verify the source and destination of all traffic to the servers and limits the access that “outside” computers have to Centrix Bank’s servers.

Email Solicitation

Centrix Bank will never solicit information (social security numbers, account numbers, credit card numbers, passwords, etc.) by means of email. If you receive an email requesting confidential information from someone claiming to represent Centrix Bank (despite the use of an official looking email including our logo) DO NOT respond to the email. Please call (603) 647-4446 to report any solicitation of this kind.

Protecting Online Information

It is very important that only you know your online banking ID and password. This is the only way your account may be accessed online. Three (3) unsuccessful attempts to login will lock the User out from accessing the account. If you accidentally activate this security feature by unintentionally miskeying a password, you will need to contact the Bank to reset the password for the account.

To further protect your account and information, a timeout feature is used. Your current financial session will automatically log out after a 10–minute period of inactivity on our site.

Account Numbers Not Visible

Centrix Bank does not display account numbers over the Internet. Instead, we ask you to choose a “pseudo” name for each of your accounts. Examples of pseudo names would be: checking account, vacation account and savings account. You can change your “pseudo” account name at any time.

How You Can Protect Your Internet Security

While Centrix Bank continually works to protect your banking privacy, you also play an important role in protecting your accounts. There are a number of steps you can take to ensure that your Centrix Bank account information is protected, including:

• Choose a strong password that would be hard to guess. Never use a word found in the dictionary.


• Change your password frequently.


• Memorize your password. Even the best password is worthless if it is written down somewhere.


• Don’t leave your computer unattended during an online session.


• Always use up–to–date anti–virus and anti–spy ware software, as well as a firewall.


• Ensure that your computer is updated regularly with the most current security patches.

If you notice suspicious or unusual activity on your CentriNet online banking account, call the Bank immediately at (603) 647-4446.
