To make sure you are accessing a secure server before you submit personal financial information, depending on your browser, you will see either a closed lock (Microsoft Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, AOL, Netscape Communicator) or a solid key (Netscape Navigator) in the browser window.

If you have accessed a secure server, the first characters of the address in that line should change from "http" to "https." Please exercise caution when submitting personal information on the SHO and CO website.
No data storage system or data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
