Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is there any special software required?
A. No. Just an internet browser that supports 128-bit encryption. The
following browsers are all acceptable: Microsoft Internet Explorer
version 5.5 or higher (with Secure Sockets Layer support) or Netscape
Communicator version 6.2 or higher.
Q. Is Online Banking secure?
A. Yes. Besides using 128-bit encryption, The Bank of The West’s Online
Banking is built with several additional safeguards to ensure your
account information remains secure. Should someone attempt to access
your account portfolio using an incorrect password more than three
times, The Bank of The West will lock the entire session from use for 30
minutes. Should this happen more than three times, the lockout will
become permanent and can only be cleared by a The Bank of The West
administrator. Should you forget to logout of Online Banking, your
session will automatically be terminated after 15 minutes of no
activity.
Q. What if my ACCESS ID and/or PASSWORD don’t seem to work?
A. There are a couple of solutions to this problem. The most common
issue is the placement of your CAPS LOCK key. Your ACCESS ID and
PASSWORD are case sensitive. The second most common issue is a complete
lockout of your account. If you weren’t sure of your PASSWORD, and began
guessing or didn’t realize that you were entering your PASSWORD in the
wrong case, you had only three chances to get it right. As a security
feature, we lockout all accounts if an incorrect PASSWORD is entered on
the third try. The lockout session will last for 30 minutes. If you
initiate the lockout three times, then it becomes permanent. Then the
only way to reset a lockout is to send us an e-mail using the “contact
us” section of this website or calling (580) 661-3541 during regular
business hours. |
