Why is .bank more secure?

.bank domains signify that Farmers State Bank has been verified as legitimate and is committed to implementing the additional and mandatory security requirements that go beyond existing standards.

Only verified banks, banking trade associations, bank regulators, core processors and other select and approved service providers are eligible for a .bank domain.

Because of the additional security measures taken in the verification process, cybercriminals can be identified and denied the right to obtain a .bank domain name. Therefore, the .bank environment provides an enhanced level of security against imposter sites and peace of mind for our customers and business partners.

 

I don’t see other banks moving to .bank, why is Farmers State Bank?

We take the security of our customer’s information very seriously. We wanted to take this extra step to give our customers peace of mind when banking with us online. We believe that the .bank domain provides an additional layer of security that the other top level domains such as .com do not. The number of companies being approved for a .bank domain continues to grow into the thousands and many plan to roll out their .bank site by the end 2016 and into 2017.
