Security Highlights

Leave the security To UsAll banks today are faced with the challenge of ensuring the privacy and protection of their valuable customer information. At the same time, customers continue to expect convenient and private access to their personal account information without compromising the security of that information. With this in mind, the developers at Voice Access have worked hard to build a system that allows the bank to have total control and flexibility in controlling the security of the information available on the Voice Access Premier system.

The following are some important Premier features that give our banks more flexibility in enforcing their security procedures, and to better satisfy the requirements of bank regulators.

EnrollmentSecurity is at the financial institution’s discretion. The bank can decide if new accounts are automatically accessible, or if bank personnel must activate accounts at the customer's request.

ExpirationThe bank can configure the time period a new account remains accessible before a PIN is set. If the customer does not setup their PIN in this time period, the system will automatically disable that customer's accounts. Dormant accounts can be automatically disabled if they have not been accessed for a specified time period.

Funds Transfer ConfirmationA confirmation number is presented to the caller on all funds transfer requests and printed on the funds transfer reports.
