Making business banking
online safer for you.
At BBVA Compass, your privacy and protection are important to us. That’s why with BBVA Compass BusinessClass OnlineSM we incorporate some of the latest identification technology available with BBVA Compass Site IDSM.
What is BBVA Compass Site ID?
BBVA Compass Site ID is an online security feature that incorporates some of the latest identification technology available. This layer of security further protects you from identity theft and fraud because:
- It helps us identify that it's you signing on to BBVA Compass BusinessClass Online.
- At the same time, you know it's BBVA Compass and not a fraudulent Web site based on the information you select with BBVA Compass Site ID.
You set up your own Site ID by:
- Choose an image.
- Create a short phrase to associate with that image.
- Answer three security questions that can be used to identify you in the future.
You then choose to have BBVA Compass Site ID register the computer you're on. That way we will recognize it as a trusted computer for you in the future.
Your Site ID image, phrase and security questions help you verify that you're on the BBVA Compass Web site and help us verify that it's you signing on. For example, in the future, if the image and phrase you selected didn't appear on your Password screen, you would know that you should not enter your password, as you could be on a fraudulent Web site.
How does BBVA Compass Site ID work?
BBVA Compass Site ID breaks the
sign-on
process into three actions:
- Only your Nickname/User ID is submitted on the BBVA Compass BusinessClass Sign On screen.
- Site ID then verifies that you have designated the computer you are using as a trusted computer.
- When you're using a trusted computer, we show your BBVA Compass Site ID image and phrase on a Password screen.
If we don't recognize the computer you're on, we ask one of your security questions to verify your identity. When you answer correctly, you'll see the Password screen with your personal Site ID image and phrase.
Your Site ID image, phrase and security questions help you verify that you're on the BBVA Compass Web site and help us verify that it's you signing on. For example, in the future, if the image and phrase you selected didn't appear on your Password screen, you would know that you should not enter your password, as you could be on a fraudulent Web site.
