Here are a few key ways that American AgCredit helps to safeguard your information when you interact with us online.

• 128-Bit encryption: When you access your accounts and perform transactions on a American AgCredit site, your information is protected by 128-bit encryption.
• Additional authentication: When you perform sensitive online transactions, such as money transfers, American AgCredit will sometimes ask you additional questions to verify your identity.
• Secret questions: American AgCredit utilizes secret questions as an additional authentication method. These questions are sometimes prompted during login or when submitting or approving transactions or templates.
• Secure firewalls: The computer servers that run American AgCredit’s sites are protected by numerous firewalls to help prevent unauthorized access to our network. American AgCredit monitors these firewalls to prevent security breaches.
• Session timeouts: If you are signed on, but not using a American AgCredit site for several minutes, your session will “time out.” To resume your activity, you will need to re-enter your user ID and password.
• Secure communication: Your online banking inbox can be used to communicate with American AgCredit securely.

NOTE: American AgCredit will NEVER request a second user to log on to online banking on a specific computer in order to authenticate or unlock a separate user’s account.
