How American National Bank Protects Your Security

How we protect your online security
Keeping financial and personal information about you secure and confidential is one of our most important responsibilities. Our systems are protected, so information remains secure.

• Computer virus protection detects and prevents computer viruses from entering our computer network systems.
• Firewalls block unauthorized access by individuals or networks. Firewalls are one way American National Bank protects its computer network systems that interact with the Internet.
• Secure transmissions ensure information remains confidential. American National Bank uses encryption technology such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL) on its Web site to transmit information between you and the bank.   SSL is encryption that creates a secure environment for the information being transferred between your browser and American National Bank.  See our list of recommended browsers.
• To send us e-mail, you should use American National Bank Contact Us. Because Internet e-mail will not be secure, do not include confidential account information in any e-mail sent to the bank, and we will not ask for personal information, such as passwords as PINs, through e-mail.  Besides e-mail, you can contact us by visiting our branch.
• New advances in security technology are constantly evaluated to ensure that we provide protection for information about you.
