Important Information for Business Online Users
Your online safety and security are one of our top priorities. We will never call, email or otherwise contact you to request your access ID, password, or other log-in credentials for the online services we offer. If you receive such a request, do not provide any information. Contact our bookkeeping department at 573-701-0651 to report the incident.
Reporting Suspicious Activity
Monitor account activity. View account activity online on a regular basis and review periodic account statements (monthly and/or quarterly) and reconcile them to your personal records. If you see suspicious activity on your account(s) or have received a suspicious call, email, letter or other similar contact regarding your relationship to Unico Bank, contact your local branch immediately.
Protect Yourself by Controlling Your Risks
- Business customers are encouraged to perform a periodic risk assessment and an evaluation of the effectiveness of the controls they have in place to minimize the risks of online transaction processing.
- Do not share your User ID’s or Passwords with another person or provide them to others. Safeguard your User ID and Password information–never leave the information in an unsecured location.
- Create a unique User ID and Password for each site. Do not use the same identifying information on multiple websites.
- Create strong User ID’s and Passwords.
- Log off from a Business Online; do not just close the page or “X” out.
- Secure websites have a web address that includes an “s” (https rather than http). If this is lacking, the site is not genuine. Do not log in or conduct business on the site.
- If a website displays a security monitor, verify it has the current date. If it does not, do not use the site; it may be a spoofed or hijacked.
- When completing financial transactions or using Business Online, verify encryption and other security methods are in place, protecting your account and personal information. Never login when connected to public Wi-Fi.
- Be sure that your anti-virus, anti-malware and firewall functions are up-to-date.
- Keep PC operating system security up-to-date by applying patches and updates.
- Be sure to lock your computer or log off when you have to step away from your desk.
