What should I do if I see 'This program has performed an illegal operation' message on my PC?

This is commonly known as GPF (General Protection Fault). You'll have to restart your browser. If the problem persists, please consult your PC vendor.

When using IE, I noticed that the padlock is 'unlocked'. Does this mean that your pages are not encrypted?

The security of your banking information is very important to us and we have taken the necessary steps to encrypt all the pages containing confidential information with proprietary encryption.

For IE browsers, the padlock may not be a reliable indicator of whether the pages and their information are encrypted as it may remain "unlocked" in certain circumstances even though the pages are actually encrypted.

To check on the encryption status, please follow the following steps:

For Internet Explorer version 8 to 11:
- Go to "File"
- Click on "Properties"
- Click on "Certificates"
If the page is not encrypted, you will see a message "This type of document does not have a security certificate." If it is encrypted, it will show you the certificate properties.

Note: The padlock and the above steps will not be able to detect the additional encryption currently used as it is a proprietary encryption.
