Online Client Fund Service security
How can I make sure that only I can access my accounts?
To access your accounts you’ll have to enter your access number, User ID, and confidential Client Fund Service password. You must make sure that your password is known ONLY to you, and that you change it regularly. Your password must contain a combination of letters and numbers, and should be difficult for people to guess.
Our NetGuard service is a digital token that provides an extra layer of security for Client Fund Service. It's a free service that works with your existing Internet Banking access number and password to ensure that you, and only you, can access your account details online.
What can I do to maximise security?
- Read our Client Fund Service terms and conditions PDF 237KB and follow the recommendations set out in the technical requirements.
- Never leave your computer unattended while logged on to Client Fund Service.
- Always log out when you have finished your banking session.
