Multi Factor Authentication Change for Internet Banking

On Tuesday, March 10th at 10pm, we will remove the Authentication Image and Pass Phrase from the Password screen. We will instead implement a new Extended Validation Certificate within our Online Banking system which provides enhanced security.

Frequently asked questions...

Will I need to do anything differently when logging into online banking?

You will use the same login process when accessing Online Banking. After entering your Access ID, you will simply look to verify the website URL address bar is green and then enter your password.

What is the Extended Validation SSL Certificate?

It is a more secure site certificate that enables special features in client browsers to demonstrate increased trust in the site they are accessing.

How will I know when I am accessing the enhanced site?

For most users accessing a site with an Extended Validation SSL Certificate, the URL bar will turn green and you will see UFS, LLC listed. All major browsers have slightly different methods of displaying an EV enabled website. Below are examples of how the top three browsers display their URL's. (NOTE: Internet Explorer Version 9 does not currently show the green bar)

Is Multi Factor Authentication less secure without the Image and Pass Phrase?

No. The upgrade to our Multi Factor Authentication introduces adaptive authentication technology which identifies users through device forensics and behavioral analysis.
