You also play a significant role in protecting your account and private information.  We encourage each customer to exercise cyber security precautions by utilizing a few key best practices: 

  • Utilize Strong Passwords – Passwords should not be easy to guess and should use a minimum 8 alpha-numeric-symbol characters.
  • Update Devices – Ensure your desktop and mobile devices have the most recent security patches.
  • Update Anti-Virus Software – Ensure your desktop and mobile devices have antivirus software with the most current versions and virus definitions.
  • Email Safety- Don’t click on links or attachments in emails or text messages you are not expecting.  If in doubt, don’t click.
  • No Public Wi-Fi – Do not utilize public Wi-Fi or public devices when accessing sensitive accounts. 

BCT is committed to safeguarding all customer accounts and private information.  These best practices will help protect your account and private information.
