Online Account Opening Security

In order to provide you with maximum security while opening an account online, we require that you use a browser capable of 128-bit encryption. Encryption is the scrambling of information as it is transmitted over the Internet to ensure your privacy and confidentiality.

The effectiveness (or level of security) for encryption is measured in terms of how long the key is - the longer the key, the longer it would take for someone without the correct "decoder" to break the code. The length of the key is measured in bits (e.g., 40-bit encryption, the level of encryption used with many ordinary browsers, versus 128-bit encryption, the level of encryption required by Bank Rhode Island).
