As a leading financial institution in Guyana, Scotiabank is committed to protecting your finances and personal information. We take pride in implementing robust security measures to prevent unauthorized access to your accounts and ensure that your transactions are secure and protected.
Digital Banking Security Guarantee
Our digital banking security guarantee ensures that your accounts and financial information are kept safe and secure. We use strong encryption within web browsers (256-bit in updated browsers, 128-bit minimum) to prevent others from being able to read or tamper with your account activity. Mobile transactions are also processed behind our firewalls, using strong encryption (256-bit in updated devices, 128-bit minimum).
Additional Security Measures
We maintain equipment such as:
- Firewalls
- Intrusion protection systems
These measures help prevent and detect unauthorized access to internal systems and maintain the safety of your information.
Enhanced Security Features
To further protect you, we have implemented various security enhancements, including:
Session Timeouts
If you are away from online banking for more than 10 minutes, your session will be interrupted, requiring you to sign back in with your password.
Timestamp
We display the date and time of your last online visit whenever you log in to online banking as an extra level of security protection.
Scotia Fraud Alerts
We will alert you of any unusual account activity, so you don’t have to worry about fraudulent purchases on your ScotiaCard debit card and Scotiabank credit card.
Masking Account Numbers
We also mask partially the numbers in your account with asterisks, making it difficult for others to see the full number.
Preventing Fraud at ATMs
We take great pride in ensuring that online and telephone banking is as safe and secure as possible. To prevent fraud at our automated teller machines (ATMs), we have introduced numerous safety features.
Credit and Debit Card Security
We also have measures in place to prevent fraud with credit and debit cards, ensuring that your transactions are secure and protected.
