Security Center

At F&M Trust, your privacy and security are very important to us.


How Secure is Online Banking?

An outstanding feature of this system is its multiple security levels. Simply stated, F&M Trust's Online Banking uses a combination of the latest security technologies to protect data. To get more technical, our system features password-controlled entry, authentication, and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol for data encryption and state-of-the-art firewall protection. Regulation E applies to Online Banking just like our Debit MasterCard® and liability on unauthorized electronic transactions is limited to $50.00 for transactions that are reported in a timely manner.


How secure is Mobile Banking?

Just like our Online Banking, we use the same 128-bit encryption to help keep your information safe and secure. F&M Trust's Mobile Banking App does not store any personal or account information on your mobile device.


How to Protect Yourself

  • Monitor your account activity closely for any purchases that may be unauthorized. if you identify an unauthorized transaction, call us immediately.
  • We encourage you to check your credit report at least annually at annualcreditreport.com.
  • Use passwords that are not easy to guess, and use numbers and symbols when you can.
  • Safeguard your personal information, like your birthdate and Social Security Number. Ask questions before sharing your personal information such as why it's needed, how will it be protected and the consequences of not sharing it.
  • Do not respond to emails and other messages that ask for personal information.
  • Do not put personal information on a computer in a public place.
