Authentication
Account authentication helps verify that the person attempting to access an account is an authorized user.
Banking Security
GTF Banking is designed with security controls throughout the digital banking experience. Learn how account protection works and what you can do to keep your information secure.
Protecting access to your banking account is a shared responsibility between GTF Banking and you.
A secure banking environment uses multiple controls rather than relying on a single layer of protection.
Account authentication helps verify that the person attempting to access an account is an authorized user.
Banking systems can use authorization and role-based controls to limit access to appropriate resources.
Sensitive information should be handled through appropriate application, database and infrastructure security controls.
Security monitoring and audit information can help identify unusual activity and support investigation.
Proper session management helps reduce the risk associated with unauthorized or unattended account access.
Secure development, configuration and operational practices help maintain the integrity of banking services.
Keep your banking credentials private and pay attention to unexpected requests for account information.
Follow these practices whenever you use digital banking services.
Do not give your password or authentication information to another person. Legitimate support personnel should not need your complete password.
Treat unexpected requests for banking details, passwords or verification codes with caution. Verify the request through an official channel.
Before entering credentials, confirm that you are using the official GTF Banking website or application.
Review transactions and account activity. If something looks unfamiliar, contact the bank through an official support channel.
Use device locks and keep operating systems, browsers and applications updated with available security updates.
Verification codes are intended for the account holder. Do not disclose them to people who ask for them unexpectedly.
If you believe your account or credentials may have been compromised, stop using the affected credentials and contact GTF Banking through an official support channel as soon as possible. Do not provide sensitive credentials through unexpected messages or unverified contacts.
Use secure account practices and stay informed about how to protect your banking information.
