At Credence Global Bank, we take pride in providing great customer service and always strive to improve the banking experience for our customers. That’s why we’re honored to have received three silver awards at the annual 2014 Stevie® Awards for Sales & Customer Service, where more than 1,500 nominations from organizations in every industry were evaluated for this year’s competition.

Best Use of Technology in Customer Service Award

Your security is paramount, and in 2013, we took several steps to enhance online security protection for our customers. Our newly implemented fraud detection system identifies when a computer tries to access your account for the first time. It protects you and your information by requiring two steps to verify your identity. The first step is a password entry. The second step is a code sent to your email or text to your phone. The two-step process is only required when logging into a new computer or when suspicious activity is suspected. This method protects customers by verifying them as the intended user of the account.

Credence Global Bank Unionalso began offering customers – free of charge — the award-winning Webroot® SecureAnywhereâ„¢ software – which blocks viruses, malware, spyware, key loggers, and screen grabbers to keep all your online information safe from cybercriminals. Webroot® SecureAnywhereâ„¢ goes beyond just PC protection by safeguarding your entire online experience, including Macs and Android smartphones and tablets. Offering Webroot® software to our customers reinforces our commitment to building the best banking experience possible by concentrating on delivering products and features that truly reflect the needs of our online customers.
