An address on the World Wide Web is quickly becoming a requirement for financial institutions and businesses of all sizes. To provide its member institutions with expanded internet capabilities, HONOR today announced an innovative web hosting program with several levels of service.
To initiate the service, HONOR will offer each member a web page through the main HONOR web address. this site will provide to members free of charge for the first year, and may contain up to one and one-half pages of institution-specific information, such as branch locations, service offerings or loan and deposit rates.
HONOR will also provide several other levels of internet service, including full-service web hosting either through easy-to-implement templated sites or customized sites. These HONOR-hosted sites will provide financial institutions with their own domain name registration, site security and e-mail access.
“This service is the first step in helping our members use the power of the internet, and to prepare for a future that will have a greater focus on electronic commerce,” said T.O. Bennion, president and CEO of HONOR. “Many members don’t have the time and resources to establish and maintain their own web sites, and this initiative will provide that service for them with comprehensive, turnkey solutions. For HONOR members who currently have a web address, our service will provide even more exposure, as well as an optional link that can connect users on the HONOR site directly to the institution’s home page.”
In a later phase of the new initiative, HONOR’s web site will be expanded to include an extranet exclusively for HONOR members. Members will have access to operating regulations, compliance information, data on HONOR products and services, the annual member profile, and other items of interest which may be read or printed as needed. The address of the HONOR web site is [www.honor.com][1].
