At Peoples Independent Bank, security is a top priority when it comes to mobile banking. We’ve implemented several key features to safeguard your personal and financial information, ensuring you can bank confidently from anywhere.

Mobile Banking

Why Security Matters

Your data is never stored on your mobile device, reducing the risk of breaches. Plus, our Automatic Time-Out feature logs you out after a few minutes of inactivity to protect your account if you forget to log out manually.

Our Mobile Banking App uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to transmit data. SSL is the industry standard for encrypting sensitive information during transmission, ensuring your data is protected every step of the way.

In addition, Peoples Independent Bank employs an Additional Security Layer. This includes encryption of cookie information, as well as IP address and device ID verification to ensure the authenticity of users accessing their accounts.

Tips for Safer Mobile Banking

To help you further secure your mobile banking experience, follow these simple guidelines:

  1. Set a Strong Password – Choose a unique password for your online banking account that isn’t used anywhere else.
  2. Manage Your Apps – Regularly review the apps on your phone. Only keep trusted apps and adjust privacy settings to limit access to your information. Avoid apps from unverified developers that may contain malware or spam.
  3. Use Secure Connections – Always use a secure Wi-Fi network or your phone’s data to prevent potential security risks when accessing your Mobile Banking App.
  4. Log Out After Use – Don’t forget to log out of the app once you’re finished. In case you forget, the Automatic Time-Out feature has you covered.
  5. Download Apps From Official Sources – Only download the Peoples Independent Bank Mobile Banking App from official app stores like the Android Market or iTunes Store. Links to download the app are provided above for your convenience.
  6. Enable Cookies in Your Mobile Browser – Make sure cookies are enabled for the best online banking experience. Visit our Additional Resources

By following these tips and relying on the built-in security measures of our Mobile Banking App, you can confidently manage your accounts from anywhere, knowing your personal information is protected.
