Merchants and Farmers Bank provides the highest level of security possible and is focused on Internet banking. The following are just a few of our security measures:

Secure Communications
For your protection, Merchants and Farmers Bank’s Account Access requires 128-bit browser encryption. This industry standard prevents the possible interception of your personal financial information over the Internet.

If you are not sure if your browser has 128-bit encryption, please click the "Test Your Browser" button below. Upgrades to 128-bit encryption are free of charge, and will provide you with the highest level of encryption publicly available.

Secure Login
No one at Merchants and Farmers Bank will ever ask for your password. Protecting your personal password is important to the security of your account. Please never share your password with anyone.

Secure Environment
Only authenticated bank customers or administrators can send or receive transactions to or from Merchants and Farmers Bank’s computer. Our computer system does not directly connect to the Internet. It is isolated by a "firewall" of software and hardware products that define, control, and limit the access that "outside" computers have to it. This firewall meets or exceeds all the standards set by the National Computer Security Association.

Security Reviews
We continuously monitor and audit all incoming and outgoing transactions to the Internet. We operate in accordance with all the rules and regulations of banking and bank security as set forth by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and State Banking Department of Alabama. Merchants and Farmers Bank has created an internal review process to continually ensure the highest level of web-trust available for security on the Internet.

E-mail Communications
For your protection, we recommend that you do not e-mail account numbers, debit card numbers, passwords, or other critical financial information. We cannot guarantee the security of standard e-mail communication. Your account data at Merchants and Farmers is secured by our state of the art technical equipment and in-house security policies. When you log onto your Merchants and Farmers account(s) your privacy is ensured by SSL technology.
