At Harris, we recognize the importance of protecting the privacy and security of our customers and those who visit our Web site. We work hard to protect your confidential information and privacy online. With a few simple steps, you can help protect your Harris accounts and personal information from fraudulent activity.
Harris Online Banking
Harris Online Banking has a Security Profile feature that affects the way you log in to your Harris Online Banking and Harris Total Look accounts. This Security Profile not only helps us recognize you, but also helps you recognize us. With it, you'll know that you're logging into the legitimate Harris online banking site rather than a phony, look-alike site.
When you enter your User ID for the first time at harrisbank.com and click LOG IN, we will ask you type your Password and then create a Security Profile to access Online Banking.
Creating a Security Profile is a simple, three-step process:
 |
1. Choose a Security Image |
|
2. Create a Security Phrase you would associate with that image |
|
3. Select and Answer three Challenge Questions |
Each time you log into Harris Online Banking after setting up your Profile, we will attempt to recognize the computer and method you are using to log in. If we do, we will show you your Security Phrase and Security Image; this is how you are able to recognize us. Once you have verified that it is your Security Profile, you can then enter your Password -- and rest assured that you are logging into the authentic harrisbank.com online banking site.
If we do not recognize the computer you are using or how you are accessing your account, we may ask you one of your challenge questions. Only once you've answered it correctly will we show you your Security Phrase and Security Image. You can then enter your Online Banking password and continue logging in.

Site Security
Harrisbank.com safeguards customer information by maintaining physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to guard non-public personal information about you. We use the latest technologies and other software to prevent unauthorized users from accessing our systems. Several measures we take are apparent: password protections, the encryption of data, secured firewalls, session time-outs, etc.
Another security feature is the installation of a device known as an Internet firewall. It is designed to prevent unauthorized access to the Bank's computer systems from external sources. As its name suggests, the firewall is an industrial-strength combination of hardware and software designed to separate the Internet from our internal computer systems and databases.
It is also important that you protect the privacy of your banking information by not revealing your password to anyone else. In addition, when you leave your PC after completing activities in an encrypted area of the site, you should clear the cache, or turn off and re-initiate the browser, to eliminate any copies of Web pages that may have been stored on the hard drive.
Please keep in mind that messages you send to us by e-mail are sent outside of areas of the Web site using encryption. Do not send us any personal information (example: account numbers) by Internet email.
Harris and its affiliates will not be responsible for any losses or damages you may incur if you communicate confidential information to us over the Internet, or if we communicate such information to you at your request.
At Harris, we take identity theft seriously. Harris N. A. offers ITAC to its customers who have been victimized by identity theft. The Identity Theft Assistance Center (ITAC) helps victims of identity theft by reducing the delay and frustration that consumers can often experience as they restore their financial identity. The ITAC is a cooperative initiative founded by the financial services industry which provides free victim assistance services for customers of member companies. Click here to learn more.

Technical Requirements
Harris is committed to providing a secure online experience. You will notice the familiar browser security indicators on our home page that confirm the entire page is secure. Those indicators include the small "lock" icon in the bottom right corner of the browser frame and the "s" in the Web address bar (for example, "https").
Among the several features that we have introduced to assist you in protecting your personal and financial information, our Web site supports versions of Netscape® and Microsoft® Internet Explorer browsers that use 128-bit encryption. Encryption is a means of scrambling information for transmission, in this case, between your PC and the Bank's computing systems. Information that is encrypted at one end is decrypted (decoded) upon receipt at the other end.
We require 128-bit encryption, and JavaScript enabled browsers, to login to your account and perform transactions. 128-bit encryption is the most secure form of encryption that is generally available in Internet browsers on the market in North America today. Harris and its affiliates require that their customers use 128-bit encryption when conducting financial transactions over the Internet. However, Harris and its affiliates do not guarantee security of information transmitted over the Internet.
