Online Banking has become on of the most popular web-based applications available. However, with this increased availability of information, comes increased risk concerns. In order to make all online transactions with Southwest Georgia Bank completely secure, we use a 128-bit encryption SSL, which encrypts the information before it passes over the internet, in a way that cannot be read by anyone other than the intended recipient.

How You Know:
A webpage that resides behind an SSL will have a small lock below the browser window (see left). This lock must be on the recipient page to ensure the data being passed is secure. However, the sending page need not have the lock, as long as the sending page establishes a connection with the secure page before sending the data. Our online banking login page does not have the lock, but the recipient page does, so you can be assured all data is secure.
