Multifactor Authentication: For added security we offer multifactor authentication for business clients. This further secures online and mobile accounts by prompting clients for another form of verification, such as a onetime numeric security code, prior to completing wires and ACH transactions. Enabling multifactor authentication is one of the most effective methods to protect your accounts. 

Monitoring Accounts and Transactions
Monitoring clients’ accounts and transactions complement our secure solutions and alerting capabilities. We monitor transactions to detect abnormal or suspicious events such as clients accessing kearnybank.com from different countries. As needed, actions are taken to protect the account. For example, disabling an online account access until clients confirm recent activity.

Detecting Fake Websites, Apps and More
Criminals can easily create fake websites, mobile apps, social media profiles and email accounts. To protect the bank and our clients we monitor the web to detect these impersonations. Once identified, we work with partners to take down the impersonations.

Securing Communications
Clients often exchange sensitive information with our bank. To make the exchange secure and convenient we use a secure website. Once registered, you can securely attach many files in different formats and receive alerts when files are added or downloaded by the bank.

Training Employees
Each employee protects our bank and our clients. With this in mind, every employee completes security and fraud training annually. Topics include email phishing, ransomware, passwords, secure document disposal, suspicious phone calls and many more. To reinforce important training concepts we conduct various assessments including monthly email phishing assessments, network penetration tests and ongoing security audits. Employees are also alerted to new cyber threats and the measures they can take to combat these threats. Educating Our Clients and

Communities
Cyber criminals target companies of all sizes, government agencies and municipalities as well as families and friends. To help protect our clients and communities we host cybersecurity and fraud seminars. During these meetings we share experiences, discuss trends and exchange recommendations to combat cyber threats.
