Identity Theft Protection

Your Buckingham Private Investment Bank Mastercard Debit Card, Achieve Rewards Credit Card, Achieve Credit Card, and Access Credit Card all come with Mastercard ID Theft Protection to better safeguard you against possible identity theft and bring you security and peace of mind.¹ This is a complimentary service included with your Mastercard once activated.

Password Strategy

Our system is designed to limit the number of times an incorrect password can be submitted before your account is locked out. We also monitor and record bad log-in attempts to detect any suspicious activity, e.g., someone trying to guess your password. It's important to create a strong password and avoid using easy-to-guess information such as your birth date, name, address or phone number. Also, never share your password with anyone and make sure you change it periodically.

Additional Online Banking Security Features

These are other safeguards built into Online Banking.

Timeout: Your session times out after a period of inactivity to prevent others from accessing your account. We recommend that you always log out of your session before walking away from your computer.
Online Statements: Securely access digital versions of your account statement to remove paper copies of your statement circulating through the mail.
Check Images: View digital images of your checks online to help prevent fraud.
Alerts: Check-clear alerts, payment alerts and balance alerts help you monitor account activity to detect anything suspicious.
Alternate User ID: For added security, you can create a login other than your account number.
