  Layered Authentication

At South Shore Savings Bank, we‘re always looking for ways to make your banking better and more secure. It’s why we’re pleased to introduce a new enhancement designed to protect unauthorized users from accessing your account information – new Layered Authentication. This new state-of-the-art enhancement helps us identify you and you identify us when you logon to online banking.

Easy to use and implement.

It’s easy to use Layered Authentication; just follow these simple steps.

To logon from your own computer:

  • Logon to Home Banking at www.sssb.com.
  • Enter your Access ID.
  • Enter your password on the next screen and click SUBMIT.
  • The first time you logon, you will be automatically sent to an enrollment page.
  • From the enrollment page, you will be asked to provide/verify your email address.
  • Then you will be asked to enter an authentication pass phrase for an image you select.
  • Next, you must select and answer three challenge questions.
  • You will then be asked whether you are using a personal or public computer.
  • Once you answer, click SUBMIT.

That’s all you need to do. The next time you login from your computer, you will be shown your authentication image and authentication pass phrase. If they do not match, do not enter your password. Contact or call us immediately at (781) 682-3715.

To logon from another computer:

  • Logon to www.sssb.com and enter your current Access ID.
  • If the system does not recognize your computer, you will be asked to answer one of your selected challenge questions. Once your challenge question is answered correctly, you will see your authentication image and phrase. If correct enter your password and click SUBMIT.
  • Select personal or public computer. (Note: You should only register a computer that you use frequently and that is not available for public use.)
  • If your image and phrase do not match, do not enter your password. Contact us immediately.

Your Deposits are Insured in Full
All deposits at South Shore Savings Bank are insured in full. Each depositor is insured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to at least $250,000. All deposits above the FDIC insurance amount are insured by Depositors Insurance Fund (DIF).

"NOTICE OF CHANGES IN TEMPORARY FDIC INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS
All funds in a "noninterest-bearing transaction account" are insured in full by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation from December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012. This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to depositors under the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules.

The term "noninterest-bearing transaction account" includes a traditional checking account or demand deposit account on which the insured depository institution pays no interest.  It also includes interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts (“IOLTAs”). It does not include other accounts, such as traditional checking or demand deposit accounts that may earn interest, NOW accounts, and money-market deposit accounts.
