Safeguarding your money

Tips for creating a strong password

Create a strong password by using a unique word or phrase that you will easily remember, but will be hard for others to guess. Your password should be a combination of numbers and both uppercase and lowercase letters, as well as symbols, such as an exclamation point or a question mark. The more complex your password is, the stronger it will be.

Need to reset your password?

You can reset your Scotiabank password online or from the mobile app. Remember not to reuse your Scotiabank password for other websites or apps or share it with anyone. Follow these steps to reset your password.

Sign up for InfoAlerts

Scotia InfoAlerts help you stay on top of your account activity. The service allows you to set up automatic emails or text messages to notify you of transactions on your bank accounts and credit cards the moment they happen.

You can set reminders for when your statement is ready, when cash is withdrawn, and for when your account balance falls below the amount you wish to keep on hand. Follow these steps to set up InfoAlerts.
