At Harris, we recognize the importance of protecting the privacy and security of our customers and those who visit our website. We work hard to protect your confidential information and privacy online. With a few simple steps, you can help protect your Harris accounts and personal information from fraudulent activity. Please click on a link below for informative tips on how to protect yourself online.
The Harris website safeguards customer information by maintaining physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to guard nonpublic personal information about you. We use the latest technologies and other software to prevent unauthorized users from accessing our systems. Several measures we take are apparent: pasword protections, the encryption of data, secured firewalls, session time-outs, etc.
Secure Home Page
Harris is committed to providing a secure online experience. You will notice the familiar browser security indicators on our home page that confirm the entire page is secure. Those indicators include the small lock icon in the bottom right corner of the browser frame and the s in the Web address bar (for example, https).
Among the several features that we have introduced to assist you in protecting your personal and financial information, our website supports versions of Netscape Navigator* and Microsoft* Internet Explorer browsers that use 128-bit encryption. Encryption is a means of scrambling information for transmission, in this case, between your PC and the Banks computing systems. Information that is encrypted at one end is decrypted (decoded) upon receipt at the other end.
We require 128-bit encryption, and JavaScript-enabled browsers, to log in to your account and perform transactions. 128-bit encryption is the most secure form of encryption that is generally available in Internet browsers on the market in North America today. Harris and its affiliates require that their customers use 128-bit encryption when conducting financial transactions over the Internet. However, Harris and its affiliates do not guarantee security of information transmitted over the Internet.
For optimal viewing and performance while visiting www.harrisbank.com, please use one of the following recommended browsers:
- 128-bit Netscape Navigator 7.2
- 128-bit Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or higher)
If you have a Netscape Navigator browser, the level of encryption you are currently using can be seen on your screen as follows:
 |
When you visit an area of the site that does not require encryption, your browser will display the symbol of an open padlock in the bottom left-hand corner of your screen. |
 |
If you are using a browser with the 128-bit encryption feature, your browser will display the symbol of a secured padlock in the bottom left-hand corner of your screen during a 128-bit session. |
If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer as your browser, the level of encryption you are currently using can be seen on your screen as follows:
| No Icon |
When you visit an area of the site that does not require encryption, your browser will display No Icon in the bottom left-hand corner of your screen. |
 |
If you are using a browser with the encryption feature, your browser will display the symbol of a secured padlock in the bottom left-hand corner of your screen during an encrypted session. |
Certain areas in this website require the use of a browser with the 128-bit encryption feature. Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 (or higher) with the 128-bit encryption feature and Netscape Navigator version 7.2 with the 128-bit encryption feature are available for downloading. Click
here for information on browser downloading.
Certain areas in this website also use JavaScript.** JavaScript is an option that can be enabled or disabled within a Web browser. On Netscape Navigator, this option is located under Options/Network Preferences/Languages. On Microsoft Internet Explorer, this option is located under View/Options/Security. Please be advised that other websites you visit may include JavaScript code that could be hazardous.
Another security feature is the installation of a device known as an Internet firewall. It is designed to prevent unauthorized access to the Banks computer systems from external sources. As its name suggests, the firewall is an industrial-strength combination of hardware and software designed to separate the Internet from our internal computer systems and databases.
It is also important that you protect the privacy of your banking information by not revealing your password to anyone else. In addition, when you leave your PC after completing activities in an encrypted area of the site, you should clear the cache, or turn off and reinitiate the browser, to eliminate any copies of Web pages that may have been stored on the hard drive.
Please keep in mind that messages you send to us by e-mail are sent outside of areas of the website using encryption. Do not send us any personal information (example: account numbers) by Internet e-mail.
Harris and its affiliates will not be responsible for any losses or damages you may incur if you communicate confidential information to us over the Internet, or if we communicate such information to you at your request.
