While the Internet provides many diverse services, it conceals a number of risks. Therefore, we perceive great importance in preserving the basic rules for safe browsing.
Safeguarding identification details
- You identification details for the system are private and confidential. Do not give them to any other person or keep or save them in a disclosed manner.
- When identifying yourself to the system, make sure that there are no on authorized persons around you.
- Never give your personal password to any other body, even if it identifies itself as Bank Leumi or as being identified with the Bank. If, indeed you are asked to furnish your personal password, do not do so! Report this immediately to the supervisor of the support center.
- Do not keep your identification details on your computer for fear of their exposure by Trojan Horses or shareware files (such as e-Mule and Kazaa), which enable access to files on the computer.
- When registering for other websites, do not use the same identification details (username and password) that are used for identification at Leumi.
Accessing the system
- When accessing the bank’s web site, type the URL yourself ( www.leumi.co.il ).
- When browsing to your account, make sure that the identification page URL begins with https://hb2.bankleumi.co.il, which is proof that this is the real address of the web site for browsing to the bank account.
- Browsing to your account is executed in a secured environment. Make sure that the letters https appear at the beginning of the URL, which indicates an encoded communication, compared with http, which indicates a regular communication.
- At the time of identification with the system and while working regularly with the system, make sure that the website pages are coded (SSL coding): when the communication to the bank is encoded, in Internet Explorer 6 an icon of a closed golden lock will appear at the bottom of the screen (see example). In Internet Explorer 7 the icon will appear in the ruler at the top section of the screen (see example).
Examples:
The Internet Explorer 6 security icon: 
The Internet Explorer 7 security icon: 
Working with the System
- When accessing your account, the date and time of your last communication with the system will appear. Ensure that the data that appear are indeed correct.
- During regular work with the system, avoid the physical browsing of other bodies to the station from which the browsing is being executed.
Verifying the Leumi website on the internet
- At the beginning of communication with the website, ensure that the site’s general form and external appearance are, indeed, familiar to you.
- On browsing to your account, make sure that you have reached the Bank’s secured website (direct browsing / Leumi Premium), by viewing the VeriSign confirmation. In order to view this confirmation, click on the orange VeriSign icon, allocated on the axis screen to your account (see example). You will then receive a page presenting the confirmation.
Example of the VeriSign icon: 
- Alternatively, you can double-click on the yellow lock and a certificate issued by VeriSign will be presented, which includes the validity dates of the certificate. If you do not receive a notice certifying Leumi’s identity, notify the support center immediately and work according to its instructions.
Sample of confirmation certificate:
Exiting the system
- After 20 idle minutes on the system, the connection will be terminated automatically at the system’s initiative. However, on competing use of the system, do not wait for automatic disconnection and execute an initiated disconnection using the exit procedure.
- On terminating use of the system, especially on a random computer, you must close the browser. After exiting the system, accessing the system will only be possible by means of re-identification.
Treatment of passwords
- Choosing a password – On first accessing the system, you have to feed the initial passport that you received and immediately replace it with your password. It is important that the password that you choose should be random, difficult to guess and easy for you to remember. The password should include at least six characters that include letters and numerals.
- Changing the password – The personal password can be changed at any time and it is recommended to change it whenever there is a fear of disclosure. In order to change the password, click on the “settings” button in the activity row in the upper menu. In the window that opens select “change password.”
- Towards the end of 180 days from the first time that your passport was changed, the system will present you with a warning notice to change the password. If the password is not changed by the end of 180 days, it will be blocked.
- A blocked password – The password will be blocked after five unsuccessful typing attempts.
- Clearing the password – In order to clear a blocked password, contact the support Center at one of the telephone numbers recorded in the bank’s books.
Working with a CD-ROM/floppy disk, disk on key while executing transactions
- An examination of the CD-ROM/floppy disk, is intended to reinforce the identity of the executor of the transaction.
- An examination of the CD-ROM/floppy disk at the time of executing the transaction is executed in cases in which the work is defined in this configuration. The default is executing a transaction without examining the CD-ROM/floppy disk.
- There is a unique key in the CD-ROM/floppy disk. When executing transactions, the system examines and verifies the existence of the unique key. If the examination is in order, the system allows work to continue and replaces the key with a new key. Alternatively, a message that the CD-ROM/floppy disk has not been identified and that the transaction will not be executed is displayed.
