 SAFETY
Deposits Federally Insured to $250,000
Your deposits are insured by the National Credit
Union Administration, which is backed by the full faith and credit of the
United States
Government.
This federal deposit insurance fund is equivalent to the FDIC (Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation).
WEB SECURITY
Ensuring the security of our financial system, including information
about you and your Sonoma FCU account, is of prime importance to us.
Where appropriate, the latest Internet technologies are used. Informational
pages about the credit union require minimal security, while sections
in which you provide personal data requires a much higher level of security.
A list of the design and security features utilized by our credit union
to maintain the security of your information and the integrity of your
account follows.
- The credit union computer maintaining personal information is never
connected to the Internet.
- Your accessible account information is stored on a dedicated database
server, which responds only to authenticated requests.
- We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on forms you submit.
Our on-line forms and your personal account information can be accessed
only with an SSL-compliant browser.
- One-way password encryption in the account access section (www.527stat.com)
means no one besides you may extract your password. Credit union staff
may only reset a new password for your account, not retrieve an existing
password.
- Our web home banking database server does not contain identifying
information such as names, addresses, or social security numbers anywhere
within the system.
