Secure home page Login
Ensuring the security of your personal information online is a top priority for us. When you Login to Online Banking from our home page, your User ID and Password are secure.
The moment you click Login and before your User ID and Password leave your computer, we encrypt them using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. That means only Foster Bank can access and verify your User ID and Password.
Browser security indicators
You may notice when you are on our home page that some familiar indicators do not appear in your browser to confirm the entire page is secure. Those indicators include the small "lock" icon in the bottom right corner of the browser frame and the "s" in the Web address bar (for example, "https").
To provide the fastest access to our home page for all of our customers and other visitors, we have made signing in to Online Banking secure without making the entire page secure. Again, please be assured that your User ID and Password are secure and that only Foster Bank has access to them.

By convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start with https: instead of http:
