Internet security

The following provides answers to questions you may have about Internet Security:

Is banking over the Internet safe?

Yes. Our state-of-the-art technology encrypts data traveling between your computer and Bank of Texas, making it virtually impossible for anyone to access your account information. We use SSL, the most trusted method of securing Internet transactions today.

How is my financial data protected while I'm online?

We consider the security of your account and transaction information of top importance. Thus, we have implemented a comprehensive security system, which leverages the bank, Internet and your PC to maintain the privacy of your financial information.

What is encryption?

Through encryption, your data (everything from your account numbers to account balances) is converted into a series of unrecognizable numbers before they are exchanged over the Internet. We work with your Web browser to transform all your banking requests into encrypted strings of data, and then back again to the original requests.

What are the browser security requirements?

To meet our security requirements, your browser must support 128-bit encryption versions of IE 11, Microsoft Edge, and latest versions of Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.

Is Online Access secure at Bank of Texas?

All information collected by or available on Online Access is protected through the use of the secure socket layer (SSL) protocol and 128-bit encryption.

What is SSL protocol and 128-bit encryption?

SSL is an encryption system that creates a secure environment for information that is passed between the customer's desktop and Bank of Texas. There are basically two types of encryption: High and Standard. The difference between these types of encryption is the strength of capability. A High (128-bit) encryption is exponentially more powerful than a Standard (40 or 56-bit) encryption. High or 128-bit encryption means there are a septillion possible keys that could fit into the lock that holds your account information, but only one that works for each time you bank online. We use the highest level of encryption (128-bit) to ensure your online transmissions are secure.

How do I know that my banking session is being protected by encryption?

Your browser will display a special symbol to confirm you're in a secure session when banking online. If you're using Netscape Navigator, a solid key (not broken) or closed lock icon will appear in the navigator toolbar of your browser window. If you're using Microsoft Internet Explorer, a lock icon will appear in the lower right corner of the browser window.

How can I protect my accounts and identity while online?

Here is a list of simple online tips to help you safeguard your accounts and privacy from online scams. Also, here is some general information on how to prevent account fraud and included links to the FTC's, FDIC's and the U.S. government's Web pages that contain more detailed information about online safety, identity theft and online fraud.

How far back can I see transaction history?

You may access up to 18 months of transaction history. Mobile Access will display your most recent 15 days of transactions by default, but you can expand up to 18 months of history.

What is a pending transaction?

Pending transactions include credits and debits that have not yet posted to your account history. This may include items such as Debit Card purchases, cashed checks, and other holds applied to your available balance. A purchase made with your Debit Card will debit your account at the time of the transaction and the funds are placed on temporary hold for up to three business days (for most transactions) or until the item clears. If we do not receive the completed transaction from the merchant within that time frame the pending debit is released. Once we receive the completed transaction from the merchant the debit will post to your account history.

In some cases the amount of the pending transaction may not match the actual amount of the transaction. This is because some merchants request us to authorize a general amount such as $1 or the amount that they estimate you will spend, which could be higher or lower than the actual amount of the transaction. When the transaction posts, your account is charged the amount of the transaction presented by the merchant. Some Debit Card transactions may not show as pending transactions and may not affect your available balance until they post.

Can I view images of checks in Mobile Access?

Yes. Just go to your list of accounts and tap on an account. When the account activity is displayed, just look for that item and click the link. Images are generally posted by 11:00 a.m. for all checks that cleared the previous business day.

Can I view images of deposited checks in Mobile Access?

Yes. You can view images of checks that were deposited at a banking center or via Mobile Deposit. Just go to your list of accounts and select the desired account. When the account activity is displayed, look for the deposit in question and click on the link. Images are available when deposits post to your account transaction history.

In general your payment date should be at least seven business days from the date you set up a payment. However, the number of days required to make a payment can vary by payee based on the method your payee can receive payments.

What are "pending payments?"

Pending payments are payments you have scheduled through Online or Mobile Bill Pay, which have not yet been processed and sent to the payee.

How do I know if a payment was received?

You can verify that a payment was processed by checking your Payment History. A "Paid" status indicates a payment has been sent. Electronic payments are debited once they have been processed and accepted by the payee. When a paper payment clears your account and the funds are debited from your account the check has been cashed.

Can I schedule recurring payments?

Yes. You can schedule one recurring payment per payee. Only one recurring payment can be scheduled for a payee at any given time. This feature allows you the convenience of scheduling payments to be made on an ongoing basis. This feature is especially convenient for setting up payments that are for the same amount and made at regular frequencies like your mortgage (every month), water bill (every other month) or car insurance (twice a year). You can schedule recurring payments to be made weekly, every two weeks, twice a month, monthly, every four weeks, every two months, quarterly, every six months and once a year.

In Online Access, select “Schedule Payments” from the Actions and Tools menu and enter the bill payment amount for the associated payee. Next, select “Recurring Payment” and choose the frequency and number of payments to occur.

Payments scheduled after 3 p.m. (CT) but before 8 p.m. (CT) can be edited or cancelled up until 8 p.m. (CT) on the Process Date.

If I cancel a payment, how will I know that the payment wasn't processed?

Account security

Verification codes help to ensure your information is secure by protecting you from fraud. If our security tools detect unusual or abnormal patters while logging in to your Online/Mobile Access account, we will send a verification code via SMS text to one of the phone numbers that you have on file. Verification codes, coupled with your password, could be required for account access to provide an extra layer of protection.

The camera captures accurate face data by projecting an analyzing over 30,000 invisible dots to create a depth map of your face and also captures an infrared image of your face.
