Eglin FCU's commitment to security
We are committed to taking reasonable steps to protect the security of our member's financial information in all areas of our operations.
Therefore, when providing access to your financial information over the Internet, we practice the following security measures:
- The Credit Union maintains a firewall system that protects our Web server from unauthorized access.
- We use EV-SSL (Extended Validation Secure Socket Layer) technology to encrypt all traffic (including account numbers, PINs, and financial data) that is sent between your computer and our Online Banking system. A new encryption key is generated every time you log into your Eglin FCU account online. Please note that the information is not encrypted once it resides within your computer.
- A session-only cookie is transmitted to your computer when you successfully log in to your Eglin FCU account online. The cookie contains a number that is unique to every session and every member. While you are logged in, it is used to verify your access to information. When you either logout, close your browser, or allow the inactivity timer (see below) to expire, this session-only cookie values becomes invalid. Eglin FCU recommends that you log out and/or close your browser every time you are finished accessing your financial information online. We do not recommend leaving your computer unattended and allowing the inactivity timer to expire. In order to access your account online via a browser or the Eglin FCU Mobile App you will need to enable session-only cookie support for eglinfcu.org.
- An inactivity timer automatically breaks your connection after several minutes of inactivity. This prevents you from accidentally leaving active connections to your account after you have completed your transactions.
- The Credit Union uses a Multi-Factor Authentication system to further verify your identity when you access your account information online. Members are prompted to select and answer three secret questions to establish their identity. The questions will appear when there is a challenge situation, for example; you log in from an unfamiliar location.
Information submitted to Eglin FCU via email is not encrypted and may not be secure. To send us a secure message, please use our secure email platform.
