New Enhanced Online Account Security
At Arkansas
Superior Federal Credit Union, we take your online security
seriously. Therefore, we are introducing new cutting edge online
banking technology to help ensure a safe and secure online
environment. We will soon be enhancing our logon process to further
protect you when you use your ASFCU online account.
The new security tools will provide extra protection for your online
data and help guard against fraudulent online activities like
phishing scams (malicious requests for personal information) and
identity theft.
In addition to your Logon ID and Security Code, the system will be
able to recognize your computer and usage patterns. If a
questionable logon attempt is detected, the system will require
additional identity verification before allowing access.
Once the new security features are active, you will choose a secret
image and phrase combination. You will see this image and phrase
each time you log on. When you see your secret image and phrase, you
can be reassured that you are logging on to your actual ASFCU
Internet banking site.
Setting up this enhanced security is a quick and easy process and
will offer you the piece of mind to ensure your security is
protected while using ASFCU’s online banking services.
Our online financial transaction
site uses VeriSign SSL Certified Encrypted Data Transmission. For
your best security while visiting websites, always make sure the
address of the visited site matches the address you are expecting to
see. Make sure that the URL of a secure site always begins with
"https://".
