Security

At Merchants Bank, security is our highest priority. We are committed to providing the most advanced online banking security for our customers. We use the latest methods in Internet banking security to ensure the safety of your information at all times.

Our security system includes several layers of security for extra protection. We use a security protocol known as Secure Sockets Layer or SSL. This provides data encryption and ensures the authenticity and integrity of all our online banking system’s components.

We support data encryption at the highest level (128 bits). In addition, our system’s architecture is designed with a double firewall, completely isolating our Web server from any customer information.

We also conduct on-going surveillance and monitoring of all login attempts to prevent unauthorized access.
