Online

To protect the integrity of the information you send when you make transactions on our sites, we have set up several security measures:

  • Secure login procedure
  • 2-step verification on AccèsD
  • 128-bit encryption
  • Secure session management
  • Digital certificates
  • Firewall
  • Real-time fraud detection

The rules governing our online transactional services reflect the highest standards of the financial industry and comply with the Act Respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector.

All transactions conducted as part of our online transactional services are encrypted during secure-environment sessions to protect the confidentiality of data exchanged between the Desjardins mainframe and the browser used with your computer. To use these services, you must have the latest version of Microsoft Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Safari.

By phone

In addition to our standard verification measures, we also offer you a voice authentication service, which lets us confirm your identity quickly and safely.

This service, which is available when you call specific advisors, uses biometric voice recognition to prevent others from connecting to your accounts and stealing your identity.
