How we protect you


First Command Bank employs a variety of online banking security features — some evident to you, some that work in the background — to help protect your account information when you bank online with OnCommand™. For example, we employ a two-step log-in procedure that, upon your submission of your User ID, displays your preselected personal security image to enable you to confirm that you're entering our secure site before you enter your password. In the background, we use the latest encryption technology to ensure security on your transactions. And we employ activity monitoring and "challenge" questions to confirm your identity, should unusual activity on your account be identified.

To help protect you from unauthorized use of your Debit MasterCard® at online merchant sites, we participate in the free MasterCard SecureCode service, which enhances the security of your online payment transactions by confirming your identity through a preselected private code that you enter when making an online payment with your Debit MasterCard.

Likewise, you'll enjoy password protection of your First Command Bank Platinum or Classic VisaŽ card when making online payment transactions at participating online merchants, thanks to the free "Verified by Visa" service.

How you can protect yourself


First, know that First Command Bank will never ask for sensitive financial or personal information, such as account numbers, passwords and Social Security numbers, in an e-mail message. Unsolicited "spoof" e-mails requesting such information are a typical ploy in "phishing" — fraudulent techniques used by online impostors to "fish" for, or lure you into supplying, financial account credentials and personal information.

Account numbers, passwords and Social Security numbers are also often sought by impostors to commit identity theft, which can damage your credit and cost you countless hours and dollars in the effort to restore your good name.
