E-statements availability (Ref OD01)
If you are having difficulty accessing your e-statements, this may be because you have ordered an out of course statement and the system now cannot recognise which statement you have requested for that date given that two are now in existence.
Are you getting a message about the Security Certificate when accessing online banking through Google Chrome?
-
Why are you seeing that message when you connect to onlinebanking.aib.ie?
- That onlinebanking.aib.ie has a valid certificate, that the certificate has been verified by a third party and that your connection is encrypted and secure.
- It is also telling you that the site uses the SHA-1 algorithm as part of the encryption mechanism. This is happening because Google Chrome now identifies when a website uses the SHA1 algorithm for secure communications.
-
What is SHA-1?
SHA-1 is one of a set of encryption algorithms used to secure your connection with onlinebanking.aib.ie. An industry effort to migrate from SHA-1 to the more secure SHA-2 is underway, Google is leading this change and has started to highlight the use of SHA-1 in newer versions of Chrome. This explains why you are seeing this message now. Other browsers will follow over the coming months.
-
What is AIB doing in response?
AIB is currently updating its systems to support the SHA-2 algorithm within its online channels.
After this is completed you will no longer see this message and your communication with onlinebanking.aib.ie will use SHA-2.
