The bank’s new .BANK domain is a more secure Internet domain reserved exclusively for banks. It also provides a safer channel for confidential communications between banks and customers. .BANK offers an added layer of security and provides strict controls in an effort to mitigate cyber security risk, enabling Premier Bank to better protect its customers.
In order to provide you with even greater online security, “premierbanking.com” will soon transition to “premierbanking.bank”. With this simple change comes additional security features designed to keep your personal and financial information safe. When our transition to premierbanking.bank is complete, Premier Bank customers can be assured that when they visit our website, or communicate with us electronically, enhanced security and verification requirements are in place in order to reduce the risk of cyber threats and enable us to continue to build on our highly-trusted secure environment.
Why is .bank more secure?
.BANK domains signify that a company has been verified as legitimate and is committed to implementing the additional and mandatory security requirements that go beyond existing standards. Only verified banks are allowed to use the .BANK domain. Therefore, when you see a domain which ends in .BANK, you can be assured that you are dealing with a legitimate, verified financial institution. Because of the additional security measures taken in the verification process, cyber-criminals can be identified and denied the right to obtain a .BANK domain name. Therefore, the .BANK environment provides an enhanced level of security against impostor sites and peace of mind for our customers and business partners.
What are the enhanced security requirements in .BANK?
