Primis is committed to providing you a safe digital banking experience. In other words, we take security seriously.
Primis utilizes many cutting-edge technologies to keep your information secure. This starts with a system architecture that ensures confidential account information is behind firewalls that block unauthorized access. Our dedicated IT security team uses sophisticated anti-intrusion and anti-malware systems to constantly monitor our network for potential malicious activity.
If you are conducting a sensitive transaction on the internet, you should ensure that you have a secure SSL connection. How can I tell? The website should have “https://” in the address bar, as opposed to “http://” which is not a secure SSL connection. How is this secure if you are sending my account information over the Internet? We use at least 256 bit SSL encryption when sending account information from our servers to your computer’s browser. What exactly does that mean? A unique 256 bit key is used to encrypt your information before it is sent over the internet, and you get a new session key every time you access Online Banking.
We continuously monitor every attempted access to your account. If an incorrect password is entered too many times, our system will automatically lock that account and block any further access until a member of our Online Banking team can verify that the true account owner is attempting to access their account. Also, if our system does not recognize the computer that is accessing Online Banking we will automatically prompt additional security questions. As you can see, we take the security of your information seriously.

This is a security system that uses more than one form of authentication to verify the legitimacy of a login attempt. The goal of Multifactor Authentication is to create a layered defense that makes it more difficult for an unauthorized person to access Online Banking.
