Security You Can Trust
Keeping Your Account And Personal Information Secure
At Raymond James we believe that putting your needs first is the best way to ensure success. The integrity, strength and stability at the foundation of our firm offer the most important protection for your accounts. And we back our efforts with a pledge you can believe in.
Maintaining your security is a partnership
With a few preventive measures, including promptly reviewing your statements for any unauthorized account activity, you can help secure your assets and personal information.
Keep your equipment up to date
Install the latest updates and patches for your computers and mobile devices and use security software including antivirus, firewalls and encryption. And before selling or disposing of computers and mobile devices, wipe them of data.
Use public wireless networks with caution
Avoid visiting sensitive websites when away from home.
Use complex and unique passwords
Do not share your passwords and use a password that is a minimum of 16 characters in length.
Practice sensible data management
Shred sensitive documents when disposing of them.
Be alert to risks online
Never open attachments or click on links in suspicious emails or from senders you don’t recognize, and limit the personal information you share on social media websites.
Use multifactor authentication (MFA) wherever possible
In addition to entering a password, MFA is a second step in the login process and requires the user to enter a code sent to their phone prior to logging into the website.
Proactively enroll in credit monitoring
The use of a credit monitoring service will alert you immediately whenever a suspicious or unauthorized transition takes place on your account.
