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.
Desktop Banking:
Online Security Guarantee
We will fully reimburse you in the unlikely event that you suffer direct financial losses due to unauthorised activity1 in your accounts through Scotia OnLine Financial Services2 provided you have met your security responsibilities.

While You Are Signed On
Within Scotia OnLine, we take additional steps to keep your information secure.
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 is a simple way to help prevent unauthorised account access and identity theft. Setup takes approximately five 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.
