Security for checking features
Your security is our top priority. Here are just a few of the ways we have your back.
Active fraud monitoring
We closely monitor your Cash Account and work to make sure only you can access it.
If we suspect anything fraudulent, we’ll immediately alert you and place a temporary restriction on your checking features.
You can lift the restriction in a couple of minutes in the Wealthfront app by re-verifying your identity.
Two-factor verification
This extra layer of security helps ensure that only you can log in to your account.
If you log in on a new device, we'll text you a verification code to verify it’s you. We'll also ask for verification every six months to be safe.
App-specific passwords
You can set up an app-specific password to securely link Wealthfront to another website or app (i.e. Mint or Turbotax) without needing to use your actual Wealthfront password.
Lock your debit card
You can lock your Wealthfront debit card to help prevent unauthorized purchases or withdrawals.
Dedicated customer support
When you need answers or support, we’re here for you. Our Help Center and blog make it easy to get quick answers on your own. And if you need to speak to a real, live human, we’re just a phone call or email away.
