At Scotiabank, we're committed to providing you with a secure and protected environment and have several safeguards in place for Scotiabank Internet Banking.
Account Access
To access your Scotiabank accounts you'll need your ScotiaCard number and Scotiabank Internet Banking password, which are unique to you. Without them, no one can log into your account. Also, whenever you use Scotiabank Internet Banking you'll receive a reference number after every completed transaction. Keep this number on file in case you have future questions about a transaction.
Encryption Security
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a security encryption method used by high-security Internet browsers from Microsoft1 and Netscape.1 SSL has become an industry standard due to its widespread use by banks and retailers who offer transactional services on the Internet.
Scotiabank Internet Banking uses SSL. As information passes between your computer and the bank's computers it is encrypted, or "scrambled," which prevents others from being able to read or tamper with your account activity.
With SSL, you can securely access Scotiabank Internet Banking from any computer with an Internet connection and an approved browser. This is especially convenient if you wish to bank online from more than one computer – such as from home and from work.
