Encryption

From the moment account information leaves your computer to the time it enters P.U.W.C's system, all online access and Bill Pay sessions are encrypted. P.U.W.C employs exclusively developed encryption methods and also some of the strongest forms of encryption commercially available for use on the Web today. During any transaction, our 128-bit encryption turns your information into a coded sequence with billions of possible variations, making it nearly impossible for unwanted intruders to decipher. P.U.W.C's computers possess the proper formulas to turn this code back into meaningful information and complete your transaction. Look for a "closed lock" icon in the lower right-hand corner (MS Internet Explorer) of your browser to determine if encryption is being used on any Web page you are viewing. Any Web address beginning with "https://..." indicates the page you are viewing uses encryption. The "s" stands for "secured."
