Associated Bank provides a private and secure environment. We use leading-edge technology to ensure all client information is safe and secure. We protect our clients by using security measures that are among the best in the industry.

Encryption
All client information is encrypted using Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) technology supported with digital certificates. Secure Sockets Layer is a technology developed by Netscape and adopted by all vendors producing web-related software. It negotiates and employs the essential functions of mutual authentication, data encryption, and data integrity for secure transactions. This means that your information is safe and secure as it travels over the Internet.

Digital certificates are authenticated, issued and managed by a trusted third-party, called a Certification Authority(CA). The CA must provide a combination of technology, such as security protocols and standards, secure messaging and cryptography; infastructure, including secure facilities, client support and redundant systems; and practices, a defined model of trust and a legally binding framework for subscriber activities and disputes. In short, a CA must be a trusted online service operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on a global basis.

Firewall Security
Associated Bank uses leading firewall and network security technology to protect our internal computer systems from unauthorized access. Our clients can be confident that their personal information is completely safe and private.
