If fraudulent activity is detected, we will immediately freeze the affected accounts and work with you to resolve the issue and recover any lost funds.

Two-Factor Authentication

Enhanced security for accessing your accounts through multiple verification steps.

  • Something you have (mobile device or token)

Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring two different types of identification before granting access to your accounts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Security Information

  • What should I do if I suspect fraudulent activity on my account?

    If you suspect fraudulent activity on your account, contact our 24/7 security hotline immediately at +1 (212) 555 0100. We will freeze the affected accounts, investigate the suspicious transactions, and work with you to resolve the issue. Under our Zero Liability policy, you will not be held responsible for unauthorized transactions that are reported promptly.

  • How does two-factor authentication work?

    Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your accounts by requiring two different types of identification before granting access. After entering your password (something you know), you'll need to provide a second factor such as a code sent to your mobile device (something you have) or a biometric scan (something you are). This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access even if your password is compromised.

  • How can I tell if an email from the bank is legitimate?

    Legitimate emails from Citi Exchequers Bank will always address you by name and never ask for sensitive information like passwords or PINs. We will never send attachments that require you to enable macros. Always check that the sender's email address ends with @citiexchequers.com. If you're unsure about an email's authenticity, contact us directly at +1 (212) 555 0100 or visit a branch to verify. Never click on links in suspicious emails - instead, type our website address directly into your browser.

  • What security measures protect my debit and credit cards?

    Our debit and credit cards feature multiple layers of protection including EMV chip technology, contactless payment security, and real-time fraud monitoring. Each card is protected by Zero Liability for unauthorized transactions when reported promptly. We also offer transaction alerts via text or email to help you monitor your account activity. Our cards are compliant with PCI DSS standards and feature advanced encryption to protect your data during transactions.

  • How does online banking encryption work?

    Our online banking platform uses 256-bit SSL encryption, the same level of security used by government agencies and financial institutions worldwide. This encryption scrambles your data during transmission, making it unreadable to unauthorized parties. We also employ additional security measures including secure socket layers, digital certificates, and firewalls to protect your information. All data is stored in encrypted format on our secure servers with multiple backup systems.

  • What should I do to protect my account when using public Wi-Fi?

    When using public Wi-Fi, we recommend using your mobile device's cellular data connection instead of public networks for banking activities. If you must use public Wi-Fi, ensure you connect to a secured network that requires a password. Always use our official mobile app or website (https://www.citiexchequers.com) and verify the secure connection (look for "https://" and a lock icon in your browser). Enable two-factor authentication for an extra layer of security, and avoid saving login credentials on public or shared devices.
