SecurityDepend on Us for Security There is nothing more important to us than knowing that your online financial transactions are private and secure. Our systems are secured with encryption, perimeter and internal firewalls, screening and filtering routers, intrusion detection, strict authentication, virus protection, and application security. Application security includes a double-blind process for issuing passwords, user lockouts due to failed login, and additional encryption of sensitive user data during sessions. Our network architecture is structured so the servers that store actual account information are not directly connected to the Internet.

ConfidentialitySecurity is strengthened by your efforts in keeping all account and login data confidential. Never share your password with anyone and never include account specific details within an unsecured email.

PasswordsThe most secure passwords are those which use a combination of both alpha and numeric characters. Avoid using easily obtained personal data within your password, such as initials and birth dates or loved ones’ names.

Enhanced Login Security In addition to password security, extra security steps to verify your identity have been installed on our system called Enhanced Login Security. Part of this identification process includes recognizing the computer you normally use to accessBusiness Online Banking. This information, coupled with your normal login details, is incorporated into your online identity profile. With these extra layers of security in place, you’ll be able to rest assured your account information is protected from a broad range of security issues.

Signing OffIf you must step away from your workstation for even a moment while using the Business Online Banking system, be sure to sign off from your session to ensure your account data is not reviewed or altered by unauthorized individuals.

ACH OverviewAn Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfer is the electronic transmission of a file which contains pertinent information to the movement of funds between accounts. An ACH transfer is commonly used to expedite direct deposit of payroll, pay bills, concentrate funds from other financial institutions or collect membership dues. An ACH transfer generally consists of multiple transactions and is referred to as a “batch”.

The steps for setting up and submitting an ACH batch are typically as follows:

1. Maintain Participant: Define individual participants.2. Maintain Batch Template: Define batch template details.3. Assign Participant to Batch: Attach participants to batch.4. Initiate Batch: Batch submittal for processing.5. (Optional) Approve/View ACH Activity: Internal approval of

batch before allowing batch release to bank for processing.6. (Optional) View ACH Activity: Comprehensive view of all

ACH activity.

The above steps are typical for an ACH user. For an ACH administrator, the main action occurs after the batch submittal. If the batch requires approval for any reason (for example, it exceeds the user’s per-transaction or daily limits), it is given a status of Pending. The administrator then uses the Approve/View ACH Activity function either to approve the batch as is or to deny it and send it back to the user for modification.

Note that a batch may be used multiple times once steps one through three are completed. You only need to complete steps one through three again when something changes. For example, you may need to add new participants or remove old ones. In typical usage, simply submitting an ACH batch will be sufficient. Note also that participants may be used in more than one batch.

Maintain ParticipantThe ACH participant is the individual or organization whose account may be debited or credited, such as payroll or deposit for services rendered. Each participant entry contains the participant’s financial institution information, their account and whether it will be a debit or credit. A participant may have several entries, each one using that participant’s unique ID, but indicating a different account or transaction type. If the participant has multiple accounts, or requests more than one transaction type (for example, a debit and credit on the same account or debits to two separate accounts), a participant entry must be created for each account or transaction.

q From the Payments & Transfers menu, select the Maintain Participant option under the ACH submenu.

1. To add new participants, enter each participant’s details, then click Add.

2. To update an existing participant, select the participant from the drop-down menu, edit the information as necessary, then click Update.

3. To delete an existing participant, select the participant from the drop-down menu, then click Delete.

4. To view a list of existing participants, click List Participants.
