Security Center
Your security is our top priority.
At Beal Bank USA, maintaining the integrity of your financial assets and personal data is our foundational priority. This security center provides helpful protocols to reinforce your personal risk management in an increasingly sophisticated digital landscape.
Internet Safety
When in doubt, don’t click!
Phishing emails can be very sophisticated and may look just like they are coming from a familiar bank, online retailer or financial institution. Instead, they trick consumers into clicking on links, providing personal banking information, and infecting computers with criminal viruses. Beal Bank USA will never send you any unsolicited emails and will never send any email asking you to provide your personal account details.
In general, avoid clicking on links embedded in emails; instead type in the URL into your internet browser.
Do your homework
The FDIC provides valuable information about the assets of all FDIC-insured banks. With this free information, you can objectively compare your banking institutions. Go to the FDIC website at http://fdic.gov/bank and look for Uniform Bank Performance Report.
Keep viruses away
Research anti-virus software and install one on your computer. Use it regularly to scan your computer for viruses.
Keep your personal information private
Whenever you are banking or shopping online, protect your login information including user names, passwords and personal identification numbers. Don’t use information that is easy to guess or find publicly, including middle names, maiden names, street addresses, etc.
Clear your history
Regularly clear your internet browser history, to protect yourself against spyware and viruses that search there for sensitive information about you and your transactions.
