Digital Banking the Secure Way

Authored By: Bridget Staffileno, VP Brand Engagement on 6/16/2025

 

Online and mobile banking makes life easier, but it also means staying sharp when it comes to your online security. At Jolt, we’re all about giving you control and confidence. So here's how you can keep your digital banking experience smart, secure, and stress-free.

Here’s what you need to know, and do, to stay ahead of digital threats. 

Use Strong, Unique Passwords

It sounds simple, but it’s your first line of defense. Avoid using names, birthdates, or easy-to-guess combinations.

Tip: Use a passphrase or mix of symbols, numbers, and words. Better yet, use a password manager to generate and store complex passwords safely.

Turn On Two-Factor Authentication

Think of this as double-locking your front door. With two-factor authentication, even if someone guesses your password, they still can’t get in without a second code.

How to do it: Activate it in your Jolt digital banking settings, it’s quick, easy, and gives you extra peace of mind.

Watch for Suspicious Activity

If a transaction doesn’t look familiar, don’t brush it off. Set up real-time alerts in your mobile app so you’re notified of every purchase, login, or money movement.

Pro tip: Review your transaction history weekly, it only takes a minute and can catch fraud fast.

Don’t Use Public Wi-Fi for Banking

Free airport or coffee shop Wi-Fi? Great for scrolling. Not so great for sensitive activity.

Best practice: Use a secure, private connection whenever accessing your banking info, or enable a VPN if you’re on the go.

Know what Jolt Will and Won’t Ask

Jolt will never call, text, or email asking for your digital banking password, Social Security number, or full account info. If you get a message that feels off, pause, and give us a call right away.

We’ve Got Your Back 24/7

Jolt’s digital banking comes packed with built-in safety features like card controls, fraud detection, and secure logins. But our best feature? Human support. Our team is here when you need us, with real people who care.

Bank smart. Bank safe. And bank with confidence because Jolt is always in your corner.
