At ASB we use the highest industry standard for security. And we constantly review it to counter any new security threats.
Here are some of the steps we take to protect you while you’re banking online.
When you login
- Access to your accounts is controlled by your unique username and password.
- Your access is suspended after a certain amount of invalid login attempts.
- We show you the date and time of your last login so you know that no one else has accessed your accounts.
- You can select to have Netcode at login, this means each time you login to FastNet Classic you will be asked to enter a unique code.
While you're banking online
- We have 128-bit SSL encryption to keep your information secure. This basically means your information travels over the internet as a sophisticated code that only we can unscramble.
- Netcode provides you with an extra layer of protection when making payments online. If you make payments through FastNet Classic totaling more than $500.00 in one day we'll check that it's really you by asking for a unique code that we'll either text to your mobile phone or generate on a Netcode token. You can choose to lower your own Netcode limit to as little as $1.00.
- Each of our secure websites has a SSL certificate issued by Verisign to let you know that the website is genuine and secure.
- FastNet Classic also has an Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificate. This means that if you're using Internet Explorer 7, your address bar will turn green when you visit FastNet Classic. It makes it easy for you to be sure youre on the genuine ASB website.
- For information on SSL certificates visit the Verisign website or to find out more about EV Certificates visit Microsoft's website.
When you're finished
- You are automatically signed off from your account if it's inactive for a set period of time.
- All pages you visit in our online banking websites are automatically removed from your browsers cache after you have logged off. This removes the opportunity for later users of that computer to view your personal or account details by, for example, selecting the browser back button or searching the contents of the computer's hard-drive.
Security experts behind the scenes
- Our dedicated security team investigates new technologies, monitors activity and responds promptly to any emerging security issues.
- We regularly use reputable independent consultants to audit the security of all our systems.
