A secured Web site can be identified by an image of a padlock at the bottom of your browser window and a Web address that starts with "https" instead of "http". You will always see these on our Online Banking website, beginning with the User Sign-on page.
For your added protection, there are many products available including personal firewalls and virus protection software that you may be interested in purchasing and installing on your computer.
Finally, report any suspected fraudulent activity to First State Bank as soon as you spot it. The sooner we know about it the faster we can help.
