Additional security features

We provide a number of additional security features in SunLink. Online banking will "time out" after a specified period of inactivity. This prevents curious persons from continuing your home banking session in case you have left your PC unattended without logging out. You may set the time out period in the User Options screen of online banking. However, we recommend that you always log out when your are done with your online banking session.

While the architecture is too complex to explain here, it is important to point out that the computers that store your actual account information are not hooked up to the Internet. The requests you make through the Internet are handled by online banking servers, which retrieve the information you requested from a mainframe via proxy-based firewall servers, these servers act as the go-between you and the mainframe computer.
