INTRODUCING PASSMARK™ A NEW LAYER OF SECURITY

Citizens State Bank is working hard to secure our online banking services so that our customers have the confidence that their information is being protected.

Citizens State Bank is proud to deliver the highest level of security for our internet banking customers.

Within the next few months, Citizens State Bank will be adding an additional layer of security that will change the way you log into our internet banking service. These changes will provide even greater levels of protection against fraudulent attacks such as phishing, spoofing, key logging and identify theft. All users will be required to select challenge questions and answers, select a unique image and create a personal description for the image that is only known by you. Each time you log in thereafter, the image will appear to verify to you that you are on Citizens State Bank’s website before entering your password. You will not have to select a new password during this process.

The final level of the new security is the authentication of your computer. Citizens State Bank has the ability to recognize the computer or computers from which you usually log on. If our system detects a suspicious login due to an unfamiliar computer, it will automatically present you with challenge questions that were previously selected.
