Online Security

Safeguarding your account information from current cyber threats is one of our top priorities. We continue to identify new tools and implement features in our online systems to assist you in ensuring that your data and assets are protected. You are the most critical element in the protection of your online accounts. 

How we help you bank on the web:

  • We require that you change your Online Banking password periodically to help protect you
  • We require a strong password that includes at least one letter, one number and one special character
  • We only support the most recent version and one previous version of IE, Safari, Chrome and Firefox browsers
  • We use HTTPS protocols for communicating across the Internet to our site
  • Our Online Banking system requires you to use a browser that supports 128-bit encryption

What you can do:

  • Use a home or personal computer to access your Online Banking account
  • Avoid public computers and areas with WIFI hot spots
  • For your business, use a dedicated PC for accessing Online Banking
  • Log into Online Banking from our website, not from a stored link. Always open your Internet browser, and in the address bar type our address: farmersbankok.com 
    When entering your user ID and password you should only see two URL’s in the address bar of your screen: https://farmersbankok.com/ or https://secure.fundsxpress.com/
