Extensive sections of the banks website are dedicated to educating clients on the various types of attacks and best practices, and have been in place for years. These new offerings further enable clients to control their exposure to the perils in the online and card space.
Heartland BancCorp chairman, president and CEO G. Scott McComb said: "This area is a moving target. Cyber security, counter measures, and malware detection are on the front lines of transactional and payments landscape worldwide. Any and all measures that can be taken, should be taken to mitigate risk."
IBM Security Trusteer Rapport is offered free of charge to Heartland Bank Online Banking clients and offers protection above and beyond what is possible with other anti-virus software.
Trusteer protects the client’s computer and mitigates financial malware infections as well as detects the malware installation process and breaks it, while keeping clients computers clean.
Card Valet is another exciting new notification and card security mobile app offered at Heartland. This smartphone app enables cardholders to control card usage and spending on the go by defining when, where and how their cards are used.
It allows card owners to safeguard their cards from fraud by turning cards on and off, proving real time transaction notification, and other customizable alerts. Clients even have the ability to establish spending limits, great for employers and parents.
