Dear Valued
Customer,
Due to the high number of
fraud attempts and phishing scams, we have decided to implement EV
SSL Certification on our Internet Banking website. The use of EV SSL certification works with high security Web browsers to clearly identify whether the site belongs to the company or is another site imitating that company's site. It has been introduced to protect our clients against phishing and other online fraudulent activities. Since most Internet related
crimes rely on false identity, Alliance went through a rigorous validation
process
that meets the Extended
Validation guidelines.
Please update your
account to the new EV SSL certification by clicking below
Best Regards,
