Page Review: Signing Off

There is a right and wrong way to sign off of your online session. Please review this page to learn more about voluntarily and involuntarily signing off.>

Voluntary Sign Off
You can voluntarily end your online session at any time by selecting Sign Off from the online menu selection, or through completely closing your browser by clicking on the close window icon
in the top right corner of your browser window. This will terminate your session and send you to our designated sign off page.

  • NOTE: To maximize the security of your online information, you are strongly encouraged to always use the sign off menu or close your browser to end your session. If you instead navigate from online banking to another site in the same browser or on another browser tab, your authentication credentials are still stored within the browser, making it possible for others using the computer to possibly access data from your previous online banking session.

Involuntary Sign Off (User Session Time-out)
For the security of your online banking information, our system will sign you off after a defined period of inactivity. This user session time out is designed to prevent unauthorized access to your online banking session if you inadvertently walk away from your computer while in the middle of an online banking session.

If you are a commercial user completing certain types of potentially time-consuming transactions (i.e. batch payments, collections, or payroll), our system will give you the opportunity to reestablish your session, and preserve your work, by entering your password if you time out. IMPORTANT: If you incorrectly enter your password just one time on a session time out, your submitted transaction will be discarded and will need to be recreated. Please take care to correctly enter your password when prompted after a session time out.

Once you successfully enter your password, you will be taken to the Transaction Preview page, where you can preview and take action on the payment.

Server Session Time-out
For your security, after a longer period of time than the user session time out described above, your server session will terminate and you will not be able to restore your session, regardless of the activity your are performing.

Frequently Asked Questions: Signing Off

 

Q: What is the most secure way to sign off?
A: To maximize the security of your online information, you are strongly encouraged to always use the sign off menu selection or close your browser to end your session.

 

Q: What is defined as inactivity?
A: Inactivity is defined as not having submitted any request to the server within the user session timeout period. If you have submitted a request that resulted in the rendering or refreshing of a page, or you have submitted a transaction, your user session timeout period is automatically restarted. Simply typing information like dollar amounts into a form is not defined as system activity.

 

Q: What if I don’t enter the correct password after a session time out?
A: If you incorrectly enter your password just one time on a session time out, your submitted transaction will be discarded and will need to be recreated. Please take care to correctly enter your password when prompted after a session time out.
