Our Commitment to You

At Scotiabank, we're committed to keeping your accounts and financial information safe and secure, from the moment you sign on to Scotia OnLine to the time you sign out. As part of this commitment, we have instituted a number of security measures to help ensure the integrity of your transactions and your account information.

Multi Factor Authentication (MFA)

MFA is an extra layer of security, which ensures that only you can access your bank accounts. It's FREE and it is a simple way to help prevent unauthorized account access and identity theft. Setup takes approximately 5 minutes.

Mobile Banking

Our Mobile Security Guarantee

Our mobile banking services rely on high-security mechanisms to protect your privacy and financial information from login to logout. Transactions are processed behind our firewalls, 128-bit encryption is used throughout and user identity is verified through multiple factors. We've also designed our interfaces keeping in mind that you use your device in public places. Your account and credit card numbers are never displayed, account nicknames are available and sessions are automatically timed-out.
