A new resource for Seniors.

 

In Barbados, August is a month of great cultural and historical significance. As a time to honour the contribution of Seniors to our Country, we have also dedicated August 2020 as “Seniors Month”.  

To celebrate, we have launched a new Information Hub for Seniors called Bank with Confidence. This tool will help to guide you through all of the possibilities Digital Banking has to offer.

The Information Hub will help Seniors feel more comfortable banking at home. It includes;

  • OnLine Banking tips;
  • Information on understanding the safety and security of OnLine Banking;
  • Step-by-step guides, and more.

I urge all of our Customers to go online and view the Tools. The resource is available on bb.scotiabank.com and will be especially useful as customers continue to navigate the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.

About the Seniors Centre:

  • Our Bank with Confidence Digital Hub helps Seniors learn the basics of Digital Banking.
  • Digital options are available for your everyday banking needs, such as accessing account statements (e-statements), checking your account balance and account history, paying bills, transferring money between accounts and sending money to other local banks using Scotia OnLine Banking or the Scotia Caribbean Mobile App.
  •  Once you’ve registered for Scotia OnLine Banking, you’re automatically signed up for Scotiabank Alerts. This means you get real time Alert messages, based on your preferences, for every transaction on your account(s).

Enhanced security

  • The Scotia Caribbean App offers multiple layers of security including support for Fingerprint and Face Recognition Sign-in (depending on your device and OS).
  • Signing-in to Scotia OnLine is safer and more secure – a verification code will be sent to your valid email address, each time you sign in.

As one of the most vulnerable groups in our Community at this time, we’re committed to helping Seniors complete their banking outside of Branches, reducing touch points, and allowing Seniors to bank at home and stay safe.
