Our security measures
| Secure sign in | To access online banking or set up access through our mobile banking app, you will always have to enter your User ID, password and characters from your memorable information to access your accounts. |
| Automatic sign out | We will automatically sign you out after several minutes of inactivity in case you forget to sign out or you leave your device unattended. |
| Fraud detection systems | We monitor your accounts for unusual and suspicious behaviour. |
| Account locking | We’ll lock your account after a number of incorrect sign in attempts in case fraudsters are trying to guess your details. |

| Technology |
All RCI Bank UK websites are secure - you can check this by looking at the address in the top of your browser. Our web address should begin with https:// rather than the usual http:// and you can also tell this by the padlock symbol in the bottom right hand corner of your web browser. On top of this, any information you submit online is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption. Your browser scrambles the information, which is later unscrambled when it gets to us, and it can’t be read along the way. The latest browsers have this built in and it is automatically enabled unless you turn it off. To prevent problems viewing secure sites like ours, it’s always a good idea update to the latest version of your browser. |
As always, if you have any concerns about your security, please get in touch with us.
