The .bank domain is reserved exclusively for verified banks. It exists to make online banking safer and to give you a clear, simple way to confirm you’re communicating with the real Local Bank.
When you see mylocal.bank, you can move forward with confidence.
Think of .bank as a higher-security part of the internet built specifically for banks.
Unlike common domains like .com or .net, the .bank domain is restricted. Only verified financial institutions that meet strict security requirements are allowed to use it.
That means:
You know you are visiting an authentic bank website
You are communicating with verified bank email addresses
Strong security standards are enforced behind the scenes
Stronger protection against fraud
The .bank domain helps reduce phishing and impersonation attempts because it cannot be purchased or used by the public.
Mandatory security requirements
Banks using .bank must follow enhanced cybersecurity standards, including advanced encryption and authentication protections.
Easier to identify
If a website or email does not end in .bank, it is not an official Local Bank address.
Using mylocal.bank helps you:
Quickly verify that you are on our official website

Avoid common online scams that imitate financial institutions
