Amerisave uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) whenever sensitive information is sent or received from your computer. When the Key (Netscape) or Lock (Internet Explorer or AOL) is visible in the bottom of the browser, you can be sure that it really is Amerisave, and not an imposter. You can also be sure that nobody else can see or alter any personal information in transit.

Your financial information is not kept on Amerisave's web server, but on one of our separate highly secure co-location facility servers. This ensures that your financial information remains out of reach.

SSL server authentication allows the browser to confirm a server's identity. Using standard techniques of public-key cryptography, it checks that the server's certificate and public ID are valid and have been issued by a certificate authority (CA) listed in the browser's list of trusted CAs. Amerisave is registered with the Verisign CA and has obtained digital certificates for www.amerisave.com and its subdomains.

An SSL connection encrypts all information sent between the browser and our server. This provides an extremely high degree of confidentiality. In addition, all data sent over an encrypted SSL connection is protected with a mechanism for detecting tampering--that is, for automatically determining whether the data has been altered in transit.
