Internet Banking: A Normal Part of Modern Life

Banking via the Internet is an established practice in today's society, and the systems available are designed and continuously tested to protect your interests.

Only specific browsers provide the right environment for security. Houston Credit Builder requires that you use either the Netscape Navigator browser version 6.2 or Internet Explorer browser version 5.5 or greater. These browsers support 128-bit encryption.

Identity thieves often attempt to steal personal information by sending official-looking, but fraudulent e-mails. This practice is usually referred to as "Phishing."
