What We Will Do

The privacy and security of your personal and financial information is important to us. Unfortunately, as technology advances so does the sophistication of attacks aimed at defrauding those who use it. At The Fountain Trust Company, we realize that keeping your account and personal information secure is a two-way effort, involving both bank security measures and customers following online security practices.

Below are some of the measures we use to secure our online services:

Firewalls – Blocks unauthorized access to the servers where your information is stored.
Website Encryption – Our website utilizes 128-bit strong encryption from the moment you access https://www.fountaintrust.com. This secure connection is maintained regardless the page you visit within our site. Once you login to view your account information, the data transmitted between our Internet Banking system and your browser remains encrypted.
Monitoring – We utilize a service to monitor our website for any attempt to misdirect our customers to a fraudulent website set up with the intent to steal valid Internet Banking credentials.
User ID's and Passwords – You select your own User ID's and Passwords. At the time you select your password, we also require you to provide answers to three unique security questions to assist in identifying you on shared devices and password resets.
Extended Validation Certificate - Our Online Banking website utilizes an Extended Validation certificate. This certificate provides assurance to visitors that the website they are visiting is actually run by the organization they want to be dealing with, rather than a fraudulent site posing as that organization. Once you login to view your account information, the web browser will change the address bar to a green color and also display the name of the organization to which the certificate was issued.

Technology

We protect our computer system with backup files, virus detection software, firewalls, and other computer software and hardware. By taking these measures to protect the integrity of our computer system, we are also helping ensure the safety of your personal information.
Limited employee access

Access to account information is restricted to only those employees who are required to have access to it in order to assist you or complete bank related tasks. Our employees are required to keep customer information confidential.
