Several methods are used to ensure that the information you provide for online bill payment is secure.

• Username and Password: Your username and password are unique identifiers that only you know. Do not share them with anyone.
• SSL: SSL (secure socket layer) ensures your connection and information are secure from outside inspection.
• Encryption: 128-bit encryption makes your information unreadable as it passes over the Internet.
• Automatic Sign-Out: You are automatically signed out of an online session if you are inactive longer than 10 minutes. It is recommended that you sign out immediately after ordering services, viewing your statement or making payments.
