General Information
Security
By following our tips, Online Banking at Heritage Oaks Bank can be a safe and efficient method for handling your banking needs. User Identification and Password Security starts at your computer. Never share your Login ID or password with anyone. The password must include: special characters and at least one number and uppercase letter. Be sure to change your password periodically. Secure Sockets Layer Encryption We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption, a trusted method of securing internet transactions. This technology scrambles data as it travels between your computer and your financial institution, making it difficult for anyone to access your account information. Secure Access Code You need a Secure Access Code each time you login to our Online Banking service unless you register the device for future logins. It is delivered to you via phone call, email, or SMS text. If you delete the security certificate or “cookie” that activates your computer for later use, or if you login from a new computer, you will need to request and use a NEW Secure Access Code. Browser Registration In addition to your personal password security, we have added another layer of security called browser registration that runs in the background and helps verify your identity at login. Online Banking Safety Tips: > Ensure your web browser, operating system, anti-virus software and other applications are current and support 128-bit encryption. > Use up-to-date security software such as anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-malware programs as well as up-to-date software patches for all of your programs, internet browsers and so on. > Memorize your passwords. > Sign Off of your Heritage Oaks Bank Online Banking session when finished. > Do not leave your computer unattended when logged in to Online Banking. > Do not use public computers or unsecured WiFi when accessing Online Banking. > If you receive an error when logged into your Online Banking account, report the error to a customer service representative at 800.795.2524 during business hours.

General Information
Security
Your financial institution will never send unsolicited emails asking you to provide, update, or verify personal or confidential information via return email. If you receive an email inquiry allegedly from your financial institution, please report the incident to a customer service representative as quickly as possible. To mitigate the risk of online fraud and identity theft, your first and best protection is awareness. Phishing Phishing is an online scam tactic that is used to lure users into unknowingly providing personal data, such as credit card information or Login IDs and passwords. Using realistic-looking emails and websites, this tactic attempts to gain the trust of unsuspecting targets and convince them that vital information is being requested by a vendor they may already have a relationship with, such as their financial institution. Identity Theft It is important that you are aware of the dangers of identity theft. Identity theft can occur when criminals find a way to steal your personal or other identifying information and assume the use of that data to access your personal accounts, open new accounts, apply for credit, purchase merchandise, and commit other crimes using your identity. Fraud Prevention Tips: > Do not open email attachments or click on a link from unsolicited sources. > Avoid completing email forms or messages that ask for personal or financial information. > Do not trust an email asking you to use a link for verification of login or account details. > Monitor your account transactions for unauthorized use. > Shred old financial information, invoices, charge receipts, checks, unwanted pre-approved credit offers and expired charge cards before disposing of them. > Contact the sender by phone if you are suspicious of an email attachment. If you think you are a victim of identity theft, see our website for information at http:// www.heritageoaksbank.com/customer_education_center/identitytheft_whattodo.
This is not a complete listing of all of the security controls that you may need. You are responsible for determining and implementing whatever controls are necessary to prevent security breaches of your computer and internal security losses. We do not warrant that any or all of the recommendations here will prevent a security breach on your computer.

If you delete the security certificate or “cookie” that recognizes your device as previously registered, you will need to request another Secure Access Code. Should I register my device? If this device is a “private” device where you have exclusive access, you may want to register your device to have it recognized for future logins to save time.

Logging Off As a secure practice, you should log off your Online Banking session with Heritage Oaks Bank before you close out of your Online Banking session, or anytime you walk away from your computer.

Once you have downloaded your Symantec™ VIP Transaction Authorization Token to your mobile device, you will need to provide us with your Credential ID to allow us to update your Online Banking profile so that you may begin transacting using your Symantec™ VIP Transaction Authorization Token. Please provide the Credential ID to us using the Secure Message system within Online Banking or if you prefer, you can call us at: 800.795.2524. Please do not email your Credential ID. Once we have received your Credential ID, we will send you a response via the Secure Message system within Online Banking to let you know that your Symantec™ VIP Transaction Authorization Token has been activated and that all future transactions will require this token in order to be completed.
Using Tokens:
After completing a Wire Transfer or International Wire Transfer, the user with Approval authority will click Approve. Click OK when the window prompts you to confirm the transaction. Then the following window will appear:
The first time a token is used, the dialog box will require users to enter two consecutive numbers. Enter Security Code 1, wait 30 seconds for a new number to appear on the token, and key the second number in the Security Code 2 field. The Security Code keyed must match the numbers expected by our online banking system in order for the wire transfer to successfully transmit. The wire transfer will not transmit without a successful match. For assistance with your token, contact us at 800-795-2524800.795.2524.

Positive Pay/ACH Reporting
Introduction
Positive Pay is a feature available to our commercial customers that will help to minimize or eliminate check fraud to prevent losses, provide easier management of Voids and Stop-Payments, and simplify month-end checking account reconciliation. With Positive Pay, you submit an electronic file each day detailing the checks your business issues. As each check is presented for payment, the Positive Pay system electronically compares it to the information in your file. If an item does not match the record you provide, it is flagged as an exception and referred back to you for a payment decision. Also available, ACH Blocks & Filters proactively monitors incoming ACH activity. Using this tool, every ACH transaction presented for payment is scrutinized. Suspicious transactions are presented for review. The service allows for firm restrictions on outgoing ACH payments, providing peace of mind that only authorized ACH transactions will be released. Click on the Positive Pay/ACH Reporting tab. This will open a new browser window for Positive Pay. When exiting Positive Pay, you should always use the Sign Out button located in the upper-right hand corner of the page. To Access Positive Pay/ACH Reporting:

> Paid Not Issued: Bank was never notified of the item issuance. > Stale Date Item Paid: Item was issued longer than 180 days ago. > Stop Pay Request Match: Item matches a stop payment. > Voided Item: Item was previously voided. > Unauthorized ACH Transaction: Transaction flagged as an exception by ACH filter

Add a User

Each will have a unique user ID and password. If you are a larger business and think multiple accounts would be helpful, please contact your accountant or business financial advisors to establish the business policies. Once those policies are in place, the pages in this section will help you establish and configure your online banking users and their individual allowances within your accounts. If you manage a small company with only one person needing an online banking ID and password, you can skip this section.
