What is Enhanced Security?
Enhanced Security is an additional security measure established by the National Bank of Canada when accessing the Internet Banking Solutions. It allows you to register your computers and link them to your user code. When you open a session from a computer that has not been registered, the system will ask that you confirm your identity by answering one of the three personal identification questions that you created in your profile. This assures us that you are the one accessing your own file.
Enhanced Security is an added layer of security to protect your online financial transactions. We will provide you with a series of multiple-choice questions and ask you to select four of them to answer. In various transaction situations, you may be asked one of your “personal security challenge” multiple-choice questions to gain or maintain access to your account.
Enhanced Security is a new, online security feature that is now a standard part of your Internet Banking sign-in experience. As part of our ongoing commitment to help protect you against identify theft and fraud, Enhanced Security helps prevent unauthorized access to your accounts while reassuring you that you’re at the valid Peoples State Bank website. Enhanced Security consists of three parts: an image, an pass phrase, and three challenge questions that are secrets between you and Peoples State Bank. All three parts help protect you, whether you’re signing in to Internet Banking from your own computer, or from somewhere else (such as work or a public library).
