VMom Internet Security Technology
We understand the concerns on security from customers when they transact over the Internet. We have therefore built a security system for online banking that safeguards the confidentiality of our customers' account information and their banking and other transactions.

We employ several different methods to protect customers' account and personal information:

Firewalls
We have, in place, multiple levels of firewalls between our internal computer systems and the Internet.

Encryption
Strong encryption protects customer information as it travels over the Internet. We use the 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to protect the confidentiality of customers' account details and transaction data. This 128-bit SSL encryption is the commercially available security protocol for encrypting or scrambling data transmitted over the Internet. It is also currently recognized internationally to be of the highest standard in encryption technology commercially available and is generally adopted by banks in Singapore and financial institutions worldwide.

Username and Password
Only your valid Username and Password which identify you uniquely, will allow you to log in to our secure web site(s). This ensures that messages from authorized users only are admitted into our secure site(s).

Automatic Log Out
As an additional security measure, our system may log you out of your Internet session if there is no activity after a specific period. We are committed to constantly monitor our Internet security system for potential situations that could compromise security or the privacy of our customers. In addition, we are committed to continuously explore new technology to enhance our Internet security system.

Security Guidelines

Take Precautions Against Your Password Keystrokes Being Captured
Exercise the necessary precautions to protect your personal computer against viruses and other malicious programs. Aside from damaging and/or destroying data, viruses and malicious programs can capture your password keystrokes and other personal information and send them to another person without your consent.

Precautions that you can take include the following:
Ensure that you install an effective personal firewall as well as anti-virus and anti-Trojan horse softwares. These should be updated regularly.
Do not download any software from a web site that is of doubtful origin.
Ensure that you install an effective anti-virus software and update it regularly.
Do not open any e-mail or attachment that is from a source unknown to you. When in doubt, delete such e-mail without opening it.


Remember To Log Out

Always remember to log out of your Internet session when you have completed your Internet transactions or even when you need to walk away from your computer for just a minute. Do not leave your computer unattended while Internet transactions are being processed.

Clear Your Browser's Cache
Default files on a computer, sometimes called 'cache' files, can retain images of data sent or received over the Internet, making them a potential target for a system intruder. Therefore, we strongly advise that you clear your browser's disk cache after each Internet session.
Select 'Tools' from the Menu bar (if you are using IE 5)
Select 'Internet Options'
Select 'General' tab
Click the 'Delete Files' button under Temporary Internet Files and answer 'OK'
Click 'OK' to exit the dialog box

Avoid Sharing Personal Computers (PCs)
Avoid using shared PCs or public PCs such as those found in cyber cafes to perform Internet transactions. If there is a need to do so, kindly satisfy yourself thoroughly that the PCs are free from viruses and be sure to clear the browser's cache when you have completed your transactions.

Update Your Browsers
You should update your browsers and application software to support 128-bit SSL encryption or a higher encryption standard.

Inform Us Immediately Of Suspected Invasion Of Your Privacy Or Of Unauthorized Transactions
If you suspect that your privacy has been invaded or that your account(s) has/have been accessed by unauthorized persons, please change your Password immediately and contact us by calling the direct hotlines for the respective services. Check your account statements to see if any transaction has been performed without your authorization. Should there be any unauthorized or unusual transactions, please notify us immediately.

You should check your account statements regularly and notify us promptly of any errors. At the minimum, you should check your account statements at least once at the beginning of each month.

E-Mail Security
As information submitted via e-mail is not encrypted during transmission, it is important that you do not indicate your account or credit card number nor convey any confidential information or banking or other instructions in your enquiries and/or comments.

Additional Recommended Good Practices To Safeguard Your Online Security
Remove file and printer sharing in your computer, especially when you have Internet access via cable modem, broadband connection or a similar set-up.
Make regular backup of critical data.
Consider the use of encryption technology to protect highly sensitive data.
Do not install junk software or run programs of unknown origin.
Delete junk or chain emails.
Do not open email attachments from strangers.
Do not disclose personal, financial or credit card information to little-known or suspect websites.
Do not use a computer or device which cannot be trusted.

Spyware is an emerging internet security threat. Advertised as a means to improve internet connection speed and gain other benefits, some spyware, when installed, redirect and reroute the internet connections of users through the spyware servers. Communication traffic and customer transactions routed through such servers are susceptible to unauthorized access and disclosure. As a result, customer PINs, passwords, usernames, credit card numbers, account identifiers, financial transactions and other confidential data might be exploited.

Customers are advised to regularly scan and protect their computers from spyware, keystroke loggers, viruses, worms and trojan horses using updated anti-spyware/anti-virus software and firewalls.
