Increased Authentication for Wainwright Credit Union internetBANKING users

Your internet banking experience became more secure with the implementation of an enhanced security feature called Increased Authentication.

What is Increased Authentication and why did we implement it?

Security is the # 1 reason people don’t trust banking online because on the internet, a hacker’s main targets are the bank accounts of online banking customers like you. Wainwright Credit Union is proactively helping members like you protect your identity, and your money, when you log in to internetBANKING simply by increasing your authentication. Increased Authentication is the world’s leading authentication solution for online banking – the one to which the industry standard is measured. It’s one more level of online banking security to help prevent unauthorized access to your accounts.

What does Increased Authentication do for you?
