American National Bank of Texas is committed to ensuring that ANB Online
Banking is secure. Here are some ways we are working to protect your private
information and steps you can take to protect your privacy.
Remember e-mail is unsecured
Do not send confidential information such as account numbers or social security numbers through e-mail. American National Bank of Texas (ANB) has no control nor can we protect information that is sent via e-mail.
Firewall
A "firewall" serves as an electronic buffer, or guardian that stands between the Internet and the "server", or computer that manages ANB Online Banking. The firewall is programmed to allow only authorized users to have access. Our "host" bank computer is not directly connected to the Internet.
Individual ID & PIN Information
In order to access ANB Online you must enter a series of unique User ID and PIN number information. If your information is entered incorrectly three consecutive times you will automatically be "locked out" of our system.
We strongly recommend that you choose a PIN that you can remember, (without writing it down) but that does not use information that can be easily guessed by someone such as birthdays, children’s names, etc. Do not reveal your User ID and PIN to anyone and we recommend that you change your PIN frequently (ANB requires change every 90 days and will not solicit your PIN from you).
Personally Selected Account Names
American National Bank does not display bank account numbers on your ANB Online Banking Account. Instead, we choose a "pseudo" name for each of your accounts. You may change these account names by selecting the "Account Management" section of your ANB Online Banking Account.
Automatic Log-off
We recommend that you completely log off ANB Online when you have finished your online banking and never leave your computer unattended while you are logged into your ANB Online Account. If you are logged into your ANB Online Account but do not perform any activity for 10 minutes, you will be logged off automatically.
