Reimbursement guarantee in case of fraud
Online banking with complete peace of mind
Our reimbursement guarantee in case of online fraud ensures that you’ll receive a full refund if an unauthorized, fraudulent banking transaction is processed through the LBC Digital online service.
Our commitment
Laurentian Bank has added a number of strict security measures to provide a highly secure banking environment, as evidenced by our implementation of a multi-factor authentication scheme. This scheme incorporates your PIN, your security questions, the use of encryption for online transactions and the automatic termination of your online banking session after a few minutes of inactivity. To allow you to carry out your online banking with complete peace of mind, Laurentian Bank is also providing a reimbursement guarantee if an unauthorized, fraudulent banking transaction is processed through the LBC Digital online banking service.
A shared responsibility
In order to benefit from the peace of mind offered by our reimbursement guarantee in case of fraud, you must take the following security measures:
