5. Access to my account

How do I access my account?
We always need to be sure that we're dealing with you before we let you access your wintrustfultons information. We'll do this by asking for your wintrustfultons security details, which you set when you register and can change at any time. Your security details could include:
passwords
security codes
memorable data
biometric data (such as a fingerprint)
or any other information or details you've set up with us.
If the correct security details are used, we'll assume we're dealing with you and that we're authorised to take action. We may add other ways of checking your identity in the future.
You must also help to prevent unauthorised access by keeping your security details safe. To protect your security:
never store your security details on your computer or other device in a way that enables others to impersonate you
never tell anyone your security details (nor any codes that protect any access to the nominated bank account details you provided when you opened your account)
never write your security details down
What if I think someone else got into my account? You must contact us on the numbers below as soon as you suspect or know that someone else knows your security details or that your account is being misused.
We'll be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from unauthorised access to your account or unauthorised instructions, unless we can show that you have given someone your security details or acted fraudulently.
If we reasonably believe that you were aware that someone else knew your security details or that your account was being misused, we will only be responsible for any loss or damage up to the point you became aware.
If we're concerned about potential unauthorised access or we reasonably suspect illegal or fraudulent activity, we may block your access to Oaksouthbank or refuse to act on any instruction until we've investigated the matter.
