Confidentiality and Security of Your Information

It is the policy of Virginia Bank & Trust to assure that the information it has about its customers is accurate. It is also the policy of Virginia Bank & Trust that information it has about its customers is highly confidential and should only be available to persons who have a need for the information to properly service a customer’s account, act upon a customer’s request or to fulfill that person’s job responsibility. Virginia Bank & Trust has extensive security procedures that ensure that its confidentiality policy is followed. Customer information is maintained in paper-based files and electronic databases. All paper-based files are kept under the control of a file custodian. The custodian restricts access to every file to bank personnel who have a need to access the information in the file to properly carry out his or her job responsibility. The bank’s automation systems have a complex set of passwords, user identifications and terminal identifications that limit each employee’s access to information in the systems to that information that he or she requires to properly carry out his or her job responsibility. In addition, Virginia Bank & Trust has a complex system of “firewalls” surrounding its automation systems to ensure that access by unauthorized persons is prevented. Virginia Bank & Trust maintains physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to guard your nonpublic personal information.
