Online Banking Safety & Security

Oconee State Bank's Online Banking Safety & Security.
Over the past several years, Internet threats have evolved and increased significantly. Cyber criminals continue to target Financial Institutions and their customers in an effort to compromise security controls, take over online accounts, and perform fraudulent electronic transactions.
In addition to strong user name and password requirements, all online banking systems have an additional layer of authenticating technology, known as Multi Factor Authentication. These measures help ensure that your online banking sessions are safe and secure.
