Apple Bank

Yes. Our Online Banking customers are required to use a browser with one of the highest forms of encryption available for today's popular browsers. This means that information passing from your computer to our server is scrambled, making it virtually impossible for anyone to access your account information. Our system uses Multifactor Authentication, which protects against phishing, pharming and dictionary attacks, as well as keystroke-logging viruses. This system protects against online fraud by providing an additional end user authentication factor beyond the customer number and Password logons. Multifactor Authentication works by recognizing the computer terminal that you used to sign up for Online Banking. If you use another computer to log on to Online Banking, our system will recognize this and ask you to answer a series of security questions that you selected when you enrolled in Apple Bank Online Banking.

A business day is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal bank holiday. All transfer requests (i.e., to initiate a transfer of funds through ACH) made after 2:00 pm ET will be executed on the next business day.
