Multifactor Authentication
At The Halstead Bank, your online security has always been a top priority. As such your online and mobile banking experiences have a security service called Enhanced Login Security. This security service is free, easy, and most importantly, gives you extra protection from credential exposure, fraud, and identity theft.
Our service employs multifactor authentication to keep your confidential information safe, and it conforms with the latest regulatory guidelines. If you are logging in with your username and password for the first time or on a device we don't recognize, then we will send a one-time passcode via voice call or text message to a phone that you have pre-registered with us in advance.
Enhanced Login Security allows you to register your computer, tablet, or mobile device too. This technology will identify you as the true "owner" of your accounts by recognizing not only your username and password but your computer or other devices as well. For example, if we don't recognize your computer because you've logged in from a public computer or one you haven't used before, we will send a one-time passcode via voice call or text message as an additional line of defense to prevent unauthorized access. When prompted, simply enter the one-time passcode to complete the log-in process
With Enhanced Login Security, you will be protected on whatever computer or device you are using, whether you are at home or on the go.
This security process provides a safe and easy-to-use means of reducing your risk of credential exposure by using mutiple sources to confirm that it's really you logging in to your account.
Note: We do not send emails or text messages or make unsolicited phone calls requesting user information. In the event of suspicious or other information security related events please contact us at (316) 830-2226 and ask for the Bank's Compliace Officer or Operations Officer.
