Bethpage has an outstanding track record for maintaining the highest levels of security for members who conduct their banking online. However, regulatory agencies are recommending that all financial institutions enhance the security for their online banking systems.
We are implementing an exciting new technology called multifactor authentication. It is a biometric technology that monitors the way the user ID and password are typed. It uses each member's unique typing rhythms as an additional method of verification.
There are a few things users may notice:
- User ID and password will be entered on the same page
- Pressing Backspace clears the entire user ID or password field
- A current version of Flash is required. Users who do not have Flash installed on their PC will be prompted to download a current version.
Users who do not have Flash will see a message that offers an alternate page to use to login.
Users who cannot upgrade the Flash player software may be asked additional questions to verify their identity during their online banking session.
The new security feature requires the user ID and password be typed by the user. Users of password management programs that paste information into these fields should be aware of this change.
We have discovered an issue using an ad blocker plugin like the one provided by the FireFox browser. We are researching a solution; however, in the meantime you may use our alternate login page.
If you're using Internet Explorer, you will also need to enable the ActiveX component. When you download Flash you may be prompted to install ActiveX. After installing Flash and ActiveX, make sure ActiveX is enabled by following these steps:
- From your browser menu go to Tools > Internet Options
- Click on the Security Tab
- Click on Custom settings
- From the checklist find "Run ActiveX Controls and Plugins"
- Make sure that "enabled" is checked
- Find Scripting section and enable Active Scripting
- Save your changes then close and re-open your browser

While credited immediately, ATM and POS transactions processed after 10am ET receive a posting date of the following business day. To view these transactions online immediately, adjust the date range of your online banking history to include the next business day.
Please contact the Telephone Service Center during normal business hours for assistance.
If you experience problems accessing or using the new system, please contact our Telephone Service Center at 1-800-628-7070 for assistance.
Accounts that were closed within the last 90 days will be indicated with this notation. To improve presentation of account data, accounts closed more than 90 days ago will no longer be displayed within online banking.
