Save & Invest is committed to online security
Save & Invest has always considered the protection of sensitive information to be a foundation of customer trust and sound business practice. We employ extensive physical, electronic and procedural controls, and we regularly adapt these controls to respond to changing requirements and advances in technology.
While you will never see the majority of our security programs, Save & Invest understands the importance of keeping your personal information and investments secure;
For your protection, no matter through which channel you choose to conduct business with us, we verify your identity before granting you access to your accounts. Our goal is to ensure that our customers have secure access to their accounts, that we provide account information only to authorised individuals and that the account information is accurate.
When you sign up for online access with Save & Invest you are assigned various security credentials. You will use these to access your accounts. This information is encrypted during transmission to protect it from third parties and will remain a secret as long as you do not disclose it.
Save & Invest's system will automatically log you off after a set period of inactivity. This reduces the risk that others could access your information from your unattended computer should you step away.
Save & Invest's computer systems are protected by firewalls which block unauthorised entry. Firewalls are selective barriers which permit only specific types of traffic (transactions) through to our systems.
From the point that account information leaves your computer until it enters Save & Invest's systems, all online activity involving personal or sensitive information is encrypted.
Save & Invest employs some of the strongest methods of encryption commercially available for use on the Web today. You can recognise when a website is using encryption by the address (URL) for the page. Page addresses that begin with 'https://' are using encryption. The 's' stands for 'secured'.
