Email has become a preferred method for communication for many. In order to maintain the confidentiality of private information and ensure compliance with privacy regulations such as GLBA and Regulation P, HomeTown Bank implemented an email encryption service through Zix Corporation. Secure messaging enables us to protect your personal information, such as social security, driver’s license, credit card, medical record numbers, and account numbers, from undesirable external parties on the internet. It is also an effective way to conduct financial business.
Electronic communications which contain confidential data sent from HomeTown Bank to you is encrypted. You are able to receive and reply to our encrypted email communications easily, and with the knowledge that others will not be able to access that information. ZixCorp’s services allow us to send encrypted email messages to anyone, whether they are ZixCorp customers or not.
You also can easily send financial and other private information to the bank using the secure email system by following the link on the home page of our website at htbmn.com. The link is in the upper right corner and will take you to the secure-mail page where you will be able to sign up for access to secure-mail or log in if you already have established a secure email account. A user guide is also available for users and will walk you through each step of using the service.
If you have any questions concerning the secure email service, please contact your nearest HomeTown Bank branch. We are committed to protecting your personally identifiable information and we’re pleased to provide an easy-to-use solution that secures our shared email communications.
