Why do you need to encrypt email?
Regular email isn’t a private conversation and can be easily intercepted and read by unwanted parties. By law we are required to protect certain types of personal information but more importantly we believe it is simply a smarter way to do business. In addition email encryption increases efficiencies by allowing the electronic transfer of sensitive information that has traditionally required slower manual delivery methods. Email encryption is one way Lafayette Savings Bank is taking responsibility to protect your personal private information.

What kinds of information will be encrypted?
Our email encryption service will encrypt email that contains personal sensitive information such as:

        • Personal information, such as social security numbers
        • Financial information, such as account and credit card numbers

How will I get my encrypted messages?
When an employee sends you an email containing private information, then you may receive an encrypted message via the following methods:

• ZixPORT
  You will be asked to click on a link in the email, which will connect you to our secure message center. There you will register a private password to retrieve and reply to your secure messages.


• ZixDIRECT
  You will receive your encrypted messages directly in your inbox, as secured attachments. When you double-click the attachment, you will create a private password to read and reply to your secure message.
