How to Access Your Accounts
To access your accounts through our Member.Net Home Banking service, you must have your account number and an Home Banking Password. This information is requested when you enter our home banking pages. The password that is used to gain access to your information should be kept confidential, just as you would keep other PIN numbers and security codes confidential. For your protection we recommend that you change your Member.Net home banking password regularly. It is recommended that you memorize this password and do not write it down. You are responsible for keeping your password, account numbers and other account data confidential. If you believe that your password may have been lost or stolen, or that someone has transferred or may transfer money between your accounts without your permission, notify
Hometown Federal Credit Union at once at 765-472-7600. You cannot use E-mail to initiate transactions, changed information or inquire on your account(s). We will not respond to these types of requests via E-mail, since we cannot be certain we are corresponding with you.

Statements
All transactions generated by you through our home banking service and any home banking fees will appear on your monthly or quarterly statement.
Privacy
Our Member.Net home banking database is a private system operated for the exclusive use of our members. We use SSL encryption and digital server authentication to insure the privacy of your information when sending data between our home banking server and your PC.
The server logs all home banking logins. For authorized members who use home banking, we collect and store certain information such as how often you visit the home banking homepage, dates and times of visits and which pages are being used. We use this information for internal analysis and product evaluation only.
We never sell, transfer or trade this information unless we are compelled to do so by law. We may gather and store information available to us on failed login attempts and other activity we consider a threat to our system. In these cases, we will share this information with other companies, agencies and law enforcement officials as we see fit.

Operating Systems and Security
Our Member.Net home banking site is designed to operate using World Wide Web technologies and protocols, which are adaptable to a wide range of systems. Our home banking uses SSL encryption and requires a browser with a current (unexpired) COMODO ECC Domain Validation Certificate. Some older browsers may not be able to usethe site without first updating the browser. Our server uses 256 bit encryption.
We use cookies to help us administer the home banking homepage. Some browsers allow you to reject cookies from servers. If you don't allow us to set a cookie upon entering the site, you will not be able to log in. The cookie we set contains information we need for security, and allows us to time out your authority to view information. We place the cookie with instructions that it can only be sent to a server in our home-banking domain. A cookie cannot be used to extract data from your PC. We do not store your Access Code, User Id or Password in your cookie.
The cookie we set will time out your access authority to our home banking homepage. Until it times out, you can come back to our home banking without logging in. After the time out period, you will need to log in again. Remember that most browsers will let you use a BACK button to view previously visited documents, even if your viewing authority has expired. For this reason, the only way to keep others from viewing your account balance is to logout of the browser when you are finished with your session. This is especially important if you are using a public or shared computer.
