Welcome to our new site!

New URL! New Security!

As a part of our ongoing commitment to provide our clients with the most secure online experience, “MilfordFederal.com” is now “MilfordFederal.bank”.

What is .bank?

.bank is a gated domain, like .gov or .edu, but for verified banks. While .com domains can be purchased by anyone, .bank quickly verifies that the website is authentically from Milford Federal Bank. You can interact with confidence when you see the .bank at the end of our website URL.

How is .bank more secure?

All banks are verified and authenticated by fTLD, the .bank administrator, and re-verified annually thereafter. This ensures everyone using a .bank domain is an eligible financial institution.

Hackers and bad actors can’t get a .bank domain to create lookalike domains for phishing and spoofing, as they can with ‘.com’ and other publicly available domains. With the ‘.bank’ visual authentication cue in place you can quickly confirm that our website is real, and avoid interactions that could lead to identity theft and financial fraud. This authentication is also an additional layer of protection for our internal and vendor communications, helping us to further secure against potential breaches.

All banks within the .bank domain must also implement additional security features to help secure their sites, and protect them, their vendors and their customers from phishing, spoofing and other cyber attacks. All banks using .bank are monitored for compliance with these security requirements on an ongoing basis.

Do I need to do anything differently now that you’re a .bank?

Our website URL now end in .bank. From now on, before you enter your username and password on our website, simply look for the ‘.bank’ to authenticate that the website is ours.

Our .com website redirects to our new .bank site, but over time you should update your address book and bookmark for our site.

You’re the first ‘.bank’ I’ve seen, why haven’t all the other banks moved?

Close to 5,000 .bank domain names have been registered thus far, with over 300 banks now actively using the .bank domain name. The move to .bank is a business decision every bank must make, and plan for, based on its own priorities and resources. We decided it was a priority for us to enhance our security and provide our customers with an easy way to authenticate website so we’ve made the move to .bank.
