Using sophisticated patent-pending technology, TraceAssure not only authenticates your site but actually lists your credit union's name, thereby ensuring that your members truly know they're at your real website.  Free and very easy for members to install in their web browser of choice, the TraceAssure toolbar is an excellent first line of defense against fraud, identity theft, and phishing or website spoofing attacks.

Step 1: It takes less then five minutes to register your website's domain and give your members the protection they need. Simply fill out an online form to begin registering your domain.  You'll need your website's IP address, domain name, the email address through which your domain is registered, and basic name and address contact information.  To get started, visit Trace Security's TraceAssure information page.

Step 2: Once you have registered your site and been verified and approved by Trace Security's technicians, you'll be given instructions about how to add the TraceAssure Enabled image to your website to let members know they're protected.  The image contains a link to the free TraceAssure Toolbar browser extension that works with Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and other popular browsers, so even if you can't immediately tell your members about this new protection, Trace Security will do it for you.

Step 3: Take advantage of the opportunity to show your members how committed to their financial security your credit union is by getting the word out right away.  Trace Security has been in the news a lot lately, so chances are your members might know about them already.   Don't delay - there will be a major announcement about this program at next week's GAC and the rush from other credit unions may delay your registration.
