Dear MBNA Net Access Customers,
Your Security Online
One of our highest priorities on Net Access is to
ensure your personal information is secure by
employing some of the most advanced online security
measures in the industry.
Once you enrol in Net Access, you will be able to
use a self-selected username and password system
that serves as our first line of security.
Then every step of the way, we will provide you with
state-of-the-art encryption of all data transmitted
between your computer and our secure site. Most
browsers utilise an encryption method called Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL is software-based security
protocol that encodes data before it is transmitted
over the Internet.
Many browsers offer both 40-bit and 128-bit versions
of SSL. 128-bit encryption provides a much higher
level of security, as it is more than 300 x 1024
times more secure than 40-bit encryption. Major
commercial browsers, including Microsoft?Internet
Explorer 5.5 or higher and Netscape?Navigator 4.75
or higher, include this encryption software. Net
Access requires the higher level (128-bit SSL) of
encryption to ensure the privacy of your
information.
An icon, such as a padlock or key, will be displayed
in the corner of your browser's window to let you
know that your browser's encryption is active.
Another security feature of Net Access is the use of
secure electronic forms (e-forms). You can use these
forms to request additional services or changes to
your account. Unlike e-mail, e-forms are encrypted
with SSL to protect your information.
You can also ensure the security of your information
by following these steps:
Never reveal your user name and password to anyone.
Change your password frequently using the Change Password function.
Always log off Net Access before walking away from your computer.
Always log off Net Access before accessing other Web sites.
Due to concerns, for the safety and
integrity of the MBNA Net Access account we have issued
this warning message.
It has come to our attention that your MBNA Net Access
account information needs to be updated as part of our
continuing commitment to protect your account and to
reduce the instance of fraud on our website. If you
could please take 5-10 minutes out of your online
experience and update your personal records you will not
run into any future problems with the online service.
Once you have updated your account records your MBNA Net
Access account service will not be interrupted and will
continue as normal.
