for handling your banking needs. For additional security tips, visit

Security starts at your computer. To make your passwords hard to guess, avoid using
your pet’s name, hometown, or other personally identifiable choices and combine
random numbers instead of using your birth date.
Secure Sockets Layer Encryption
We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption, a trusted method for securing internet
transactions. This technology scrambles data as it travels between your computer and
HVFCU, making it difficult for anyone to access your account information.
Secure Access Code
You need a Secure Access Code to access your accounts when you log in to
Online Banking with HVFCU for the first time or the first time from any new device.
This code is delivered to you via email, phone call, or SMS text message. You can opt
to register your device so that you do not have to complete the Secure Access Code
process the next time that you access HVFCU’s Online Banking system from that same
device. If you delete the security certificate or “cookie” that recognizes your device as
previously registered, you will need to receive another code to register your device
again. The cookie will expire after one year so this process must be repeated at least
once per year per device. For added security you may choose to NOT remember your
device and will need to receive the access code for each login on that device.

: If you have Short Code messages disabled on your phone, your
Secure Access Codes may not be received.
