Internet Security Information
Florida Traditions Bank’s On-line Banking is
part of a network that utilizes a comprehensive security
strategy to protect your accounts and transactions
conducted over the Internet. In-depth information
on many of the techniques and features employed by
the system can be viewed and are explained in our
Florida Traditions Bank On-line Security statement.
In addition to our login security, we use the SSL
(secure socket layer) encryption technology for everything
you do in Florida Traditions Bank’s On-line
Banking system. Whenever SSL is securing your communications,
the browser will typically indicate the "secure
session" by changing the appearance of a small
icon of a padlock at the bottom of the screen from open to locked.
What this means to you is that your communications
are scrambled from your browser to our servers at
all times so no unauthorized party can read the information
as it is carried over the Internet.
Florida Traditions
Bank utilizes Multi Factor Authentication. You
will be asked to choose an image, unique phrase and
three challenge questions. The image and phrase you
chose will be displayed every time you log on to
Online Banking – confirming that you are at
the valid Florida Traditions Bank login page. If
you access your Internet Banking account from an
unusual computer (a computer that you do not usually
use to access internet banking, ex. hotel, airport),
you will be asked to answer one of the challenge
questions you selected when you set up your secure
registration. Once you answer the challenge question,
you will be allowed to continue the log in process.
Login Security
Security is very important to Florida Traditions
Bank. When you login to the service for the first
time, you will use your account number and the last
four digits of your social security number (personal
accounts) or taxpayer identification number (businesses).
You will then be prompted to select a new "Access
ID" and "Password" that you will
thereafter use to gain access to your accounts. Your
session time limit is limited to 60 minutes, but
to help prevent unauthorized access and ensure the
security of your accounts, we will end your online
session if we have detected no activity for 20 minutes.
This is to protect you in case you accidentally leave
your computer unattended after you log on. When you
return to your computer, you will be prompted to
re-enter your password and your session will continue
where you left off. Because your password is used
to access your accounts, you should treat it as you
would any other sensitive personal data. You should
carefully select a password that is hard to guess.
Keep your password safe. Memorize your password and
never tell it to anyone. You may consider changing
your password occasionally, such as every 90 days.
This can be done at any time, after you are logged
in, from the "options" menu.
Balance Inquiries, Bill Payments and Transfers
You may use Florida Traditions Bank’s On-line
Banking to check the balance of your accounts, transfer
funds between your accounts and pay bills from your
eligible accounts.
Balances in your accounts may differ from your records
due to deposits in progress, outstanding checks or
other withdrawals, payments or charges. If you have
further questions, contact us at bookkeeping@fltraditionsbank.com.
Special Information about E-Mail
Generally, requests received from the system will
be processed within two business days using procedures
that would handle similar requests received by
mail or fax. If urgent action is required, we recommend
that you contact Florida Traditions Bank directly
by telephone at (352) 523-1800 between 8:00 a.m.
and 5:00 p.m., Monday – Thursday and 8:00
and 6:00 on Friday or in person.
Bill Payment Service
The Bill Payment service lets you schedule bill payments
through On-line Banking and also allows you to
see a history of all the payments made from your
accounts. You must designate a specific checking
account as your bill payment account.
Account holders that require two (2) signatures for
withdrawal purposes will be unable to access the
On-line Bill Payment Service.
Eligibility: You may pay any merchant
or individual approved for payment by Florida Traditions
Bank for payment through On-line Bill Payment Service. On-line bill payments are available only to payees with a
U.S. mailing address. By furnishing us with the names and account information
of those payees to whom you wish to direct payment, you authorize us to follow
the payment instructions, which you provide to us via Florida Traditions
Bank’s On-line Banking Service for these payees. When we receive
a payment instruction for the current date or future date, we will remit
the funds to the payee on your behalf from the funds in your selected account,
on the day you have instructed them to be sent (Payment Date). We will
be unable to process any payments to federal, state or local tax agencies,
and any court-ordered payments such as alimony or child support.
The daily limit for the total dollars of payments
approved is governed by the system’s available
balance in the checking account selected for making
the payment. You can withdraw up to the system’s
available balance as long as your account shows sufficient
funds to cover your payments. The payment will normally
be charged to your account on the business date that
it is approved.
If for any reason a scheduled payment processed through
the system is declined, it will automatically be
rescheduled for the following business day. The system
will continue to attempt to pay the bill on the following
business days until there are sufficient funds or
you cancel or reschedule it.
Although payments may be scheduled for the current
business day or any date in the future at any time,
they will only be processed once a day at our cut-off
time, usually around 5:45 p.m. EST on any business
day. Anything scheduled on a non-business day, or
after the cut-off time, will not be sent out until
the following business day.
Since we must forward the funds and billing information
to the payee, some lead-time for payments is necessary.
(Our system assumes the payee/vendor will promptly
process the payment on the business day it is received.
Any delays caused by the payee/vendor would result
in additional days before the payment would show
on their records.)
To avoid incurring a finance charge or other charges,
you must schedule a payment sufficiently in advance
of the due date of your payment. It is necessary
that all Payment Dates selected by you be no less
than five (5) full Business Days before the
actual due date, not the late date and/or a date
in the grace period.
Not all payees accept electronic bill payments. In
the event that the payee for your scheduled payment
does not accept payment via the electronic system,
your payment will be made by mailing a paper check. Paper
payment requires longer delivery time. Payments
made by paper should be scheduled at least seven
(7) full Business Days prior to the actual due date,
not the late date and/or a date in the grace period. In
all cases, the payment will be delivered to the payee/vendor
by the tenth business day after the payment was approved
and charged to your account.

Notice of Your Liability (Applicable to Consumer Accounts Only)
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Access ID and
Password have been lost or stolen. Telephoning
is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You
could lose all the money in your account plus your
maximum overdraft line of credit. If you believe
your Access ID and Password has been lost or stolen,
and you tell us within two (2) business days after
you learn of the loss or theft, you can lose no more
than $50 if someone used your Access ID and Password
without your permission.
If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days
after you learn of the loss or theft of your Access
ID and Password, and we can prove we could have stopped
someone from using your Access ID and Password without
your permission if you had told us, you could lose
as much as $500.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you
did not make, tell us at once. If you do not
tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed
to you, you may not get back any money you lost after
the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped
someone from taking the money if you had told us
in time.
If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital
stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the
time periods.

lost or stolen or that someone has transferred or
may transfer money from your account without your
permission, call: (352) 523-1800

account on time or in the correct amount according
to our agreement with you, we will be liable for
your losses or damages. However, there are
some exceptions. We will not be liable, for
instance:
1. If, through no fault of ours, you do not
have enough money in your account to make the transfer
or payment.
2. If the transfer or payment would go over the credit
limit on your overdraft line.
3. If the service or your personal computer
or modem was not working properly and you knew about
the breakdown or malfunction when you started the
transfer or payment.

payee is incorrect.

payment by the payees.
6. Circumstances beyond our control prevent the proper
completion of the transaction, despite reasonable
precautions that we have taken. Such circumstances
include, but are not limited to, fire, flood, tornado,
delay in the U.S. Mail or other uncontrollable circumstances
such as power failure, the disconnecting or quality
of your telephone line.
7. Funds in your account are subject to legal
process or other restrictions prohibiting the transfer.
