The Green Locks indicate that the site is safe. Typically when you log onto a banking website or a payment website you'll even see the prefix for the address as "HTTP'S'" where S stands for secure (or Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure). Additionally, if it is just a standard white page, it means that it is plain http (a coding script used for communication across the WWW). It's nothing to worry about. The pages you should be concerned about are the one's that have a lock with a red slash through it. It means this web-page has not been verified safe/secure.

Hope this helps!
