VeriSign™ web site security

PIN security
Each Mennonite Financial member is responsible for protecting the secrecy of their personal identification number. You should never give this number to unauthorized persons. Mennonite Financial staff do not know your PIN. If you forget the number, you will need to contact the credit union to have a new PIN issued to you.

Encryption
Encryption is a technical term for scrambling meaningful text and numbers at one location and transmitting them across the Internet to another location. The encryption process uses complex algorithmic formulas to create a key that is used to translate the information back into useable content. There are billions of potential keys, and a different key is used for each online banking session.
All confidential information sent to and requested by the online banking site is encrypted. Mennonite Financial submits the account information using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encrypted network transmissions. The encryption we currently use is 40-bit encryption. This is extremely secure and the most compatible encryption for worldwide use. It has been estimated that this level of encryption would take a 64-MIPS computer a year of dedicated processor time to break.
