Notice to Online Users: Support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 is ending

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a protocol that ensures that a connection to a remote endpoint is securely encrypted in order to provide privacy and data integrity. FNBC Bank’s web application connections (such as Online Banking) use TLS as a key component of their security. TLS 1.2 is the most current version and is considered to be the most secure. TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are earlier, now less secure versions. The predecessor to TLS, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), has been disabled in our systems.

To maintain the highest standards for our data security and to align with the payment card industry data security standards (PCI DDS) and industry best practices, our vendors are disabling TLS 1.0 and 1.1 in our bank applications on April 9, 2018. To help ensure you do not experience unnecessary service interruptions, we recommend upgrading your operating system version to Windows 7 or newer, and your browser to one of the following: Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Internet Explorer II, Firefox 27 or higher, Google Chrome 38 or higher, Desktop Safari 7 or higher, Mobile Safari 5 or higher. You may test your browser capabilities by visiting this website: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html
