How secure is online enrollment?
When you apply for online banking products and services, you provide personal information that is necessary for us to process your application. To ensure that your information remains confidential, it is sent to us in a “secure session”. The exchange of information over the Internet is encrypted. This means the information is scrambled in such a way that it cannot be read by anyone other than you and Comerica. This is accomplished by using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. Secure Sockets Layer protects your information through a browser like Netscape Navigator® or Microsoft Internet Explorer®, that supports 128-bit encryption. The browser actually does all the encryption and Secure Sockets Layer works for you, behind the scenes. You know it is working when you see the key or the lock (in the locked position) appear on your browser window. If you’d like to learn more about Comerica’s security measures, click on the “Security” link located in the footer of each of our web pages.
