Your browser then decodes the information. We also have Firewalls in place, which is advanced hardware and software that reviews messages coming in and out of the Internet banking process. Only authorized users are able to pass through the online banking system. This type of technology is designed to prevent hackers from accessing your account.

Thomaston Savings Bank also has a Verisign certificate for its Loan application request page. Verisign is a certification authority on the Internet. This means that the Loan application request page and all information contained within the page are encrypted while being transmitted to your browser and when information is returned to the host web server and prevents anyone from reading the information over the Internet.
