Before You Sign-On

There are several steps that we have taken to ensure a secure environment before you can sign-on to Scotia OnLine. In addition to providing a protected environment, we require you to have the following to sign-on to Scotia OnLine:

  • a ScotiaCard or a Scotiabank Credit Card, which is your unique identifier when dealing with us,
  • a password, selected by you;
  • a supported 128-bit browser.

Remember My Card Feature

This handy feature allows you to securely save your ScotiaCard number on your computer so that you do not need to have your ScotiaCard with you or enter this information each time you want to sign-on. If you use this feature, your card number is stored in encrypted and masked formats so that others cannot read it. This feature will not save your password.

If you are using a public access computer or a shared computer with other individuals, it is recommended that you do not use the Remember My Card feature.
