TIB Bank Security Statement

Online Account Transactions
All TIB Bank online account transactions are submitted to the Bank's secure site using sophisticated means of industry-approved encryption that comply with state and federal laws and regulations. The Internet Banking System features password-controlled system entry, a VeriSign-issued Digital ID for the Bank's server, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol for data encryption, and a router loaded with a firewall to regulate the inflow and outflow of server traffic.

Secure Access and Verifying User Authenticity
To begin a session with the bank's server the user must key in a Log-In ID and a password. Our system, the TIBLink Internet Banking System, uses a "3 strikes and you're out" lock-out mechanism to deter users from repeated login attempts. After three unsuccessful login attempts, the system locks the user out, requiring either a designated wait period or a phone call to the bank to verify the password before re-entry into the system. Upon successful login, the Digital ID from VeriSign, the experts in digital identification certificates, authenticates the user's identity and establishes a secure session with that visitor.

Secure Data Transfer
Once the server session is established, the user and the server are in a secured environment. Because the server has been certified as a 128-bit secure sever by VeriSign, data traveling between the user and the server is encrypted with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. With SSL, data that travels between the bank and customer is encrypted and can only be decrypted with the public and private key pair. In short, the bank's server issues a public key to the end user's browser and creates a temporary private key. These two keys are the only combination possible for that session. When the session is complete, the keys expire and the whole process starts over when a new end user makes a server session.

Router and Firewall
Requests must filter through a router and firewall before they are permitted to reach the server. A router, a piece of hardware, works in conjunction with the firewall, a piece of software, to block and direct traffic coming to the server. The configuration begins by disallowing ALL traffic coming to the server and then opens holes only when necessary to process acceptable data requests, such as retrieving Web pages or sending customer requests to the Bank.
Using the above technologies, your Internet banking transactions are secure.

USA Patriot Act Customer Identification Program (CIP)

Federal regulations enacted pursuant to Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act require all financial institutions to verify the identity of every person who seeks to open an account with the institution. All persons are subject to the identity verification requirements even though they may be a long term customer of and well known to the institution. However, please be assured that our long term relationship and service quality during the course of our day-to-day interaction with you will NOT be compromised. We truly appreciate your business and value you as a customer.

For the purpose of the regulation, an "account" includes every formal banking relationship that entails ongoing services, dealings or transactions. Some examples are a deposit account, loan, or safe deposit box rental.

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.

What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.

Reliance on Others

A bank may rely on a third party to fulfill some or all of the CIP requirements, provided:

• Such reliance is reasonable under the circumstances;
  
  
• The other party is a financial institution regulated by a federal regulator and subject to the same CIP requirements
  
  
• The other party contracts to certify annually that it has implemented its anti-money-laundering program and it will perform the CIP duties.

In these circumstances, the relying bank will not be held responsible for the failure of the other financial institution to fulfill its CIP duties. A bank may use a third party to perform its CIP duties without complying with the three conditions listed above, but the bank will remain liable for any failure of the third party to satisfy the CIP requirements applicable to the bank.

TIB Bank may retain a copy of any document it relied upon to verify your identity.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause as it is our hope to ensure this processing requirement remains as transparent to you as possible. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this regulation, feel free to contact the Branch Manager, Business Banking Officer or Customer Service Representative.
