There are several steps that we have taken to ensure a secure environment before you can sign-on to Scotia OnLine®. In addition to providing a protected environment, we require you to have the following to sign-on to Scotia OnLine:

• a ScotiaCard™, which is your unique identifier when dealing with us,
• a password, selected by you;
• a supported 128-bit browser.

There are also three additional features of our sign-on page that you should be aware of: our Alerts System, Express Sign-on feature, and Safe Computing Practices.

Alerts System

We may communicate important information to you directly on the Scotia OnLine Sign-on page.

Urgent, time sensitive information will be denoted by a red exclamation mark within a circle. Other important messages that are not considered urgent will be conveyed by a blue "i" within the circle. When you see these symbols, please be sure to read the notice and follow any recommended instructions.

Express Sign-on Feature

This handy feature allows you to securely save your ScotiaCard number on your computer so that you do not need to have your ScotiaCard with you or enter this information each time you want to sign-on. If you use this feature, your card number is stored in encrypted and masked formats so that it cannot be read by others. This feature will not save your password.

If you are using a public access computer or a shared computer with other individuals, it is recommended that you do not use the Express Sign-on feature.

For more information, please see our Express Sign-on page.
