At Quaint Oak Bank, protecting your confidential information is of the utmost importance. To help you feel confident that your sensitive information is secure, learn about our email encryption program.

Why We Encrypt Our Emails

To ensure the confidentiality of your personal and financial information that Quaint Oak Bank sends you via email, we utilize an email Encryption Service. This service allows you to receive, send, read and reply to all of our email communications seamlessly and with confidence that your information is secure.

Email encryption protects the information in an email while it moves across the Internet. While it would be highly unusual for an email to be accessed by an unauthorized individual during the sending period, Quaint Oak Bank is committed to taking every precaution to ensure this does not happen.

If you choose to correspond with us through email, there are quick and easy steps you need to take to help us enroll you in our Secure Message Center.

Creating an Account

When you access our Secure Message Center for the first time, you will be prompted to create an account that simply requires your email address and a password. This is the login you will use each time you access our Secure Message Center to receive, send, read and reply to our emails. Once your account is created, you’ll receive a confirmation email with instructions for activating your account.

Receiving Secure Emails

Each time Quaint Oak Bank sends you an email through our Secure Message Center you’ll receive a notification email to your regular email inbox with instructions for opening the encrypted message. Select “Open Message” in the notification email which will take you to the Secure Message Center where you’ll see our email. If you have not created an account yet, you must do so at this time.

Sending Secure Emails

To send a secure email to someone at Quaint Oak Bank, you will need to log in to our Secure Message Center. Once you are logged in, select Compose, choose your recipient and begin to write your email in the page that opens. Your email will be sent promptly and securely to your recipient.
