Desjardins Identity Protection
desjardins.com
What it is
Desjardins Identity Protection provides added security for personal and financial information to Desjardins members and clients. It combines monitoring for personal information on the dark web with assistance recovering an identity after theft. ID Assist, supplied by Sigma Loyalty Group Inc., performs that monitoring and sends alerts when it detects personal information. If identity theft occurs, Desjardins can guide customers through recovery, and they may be reimbursed up to $50,000 for identity restoration expenses. Desjardins accounts and assets are protected in the event of unauthorized transactions. Customers can check Equifax and TransUnion credit reports in AccèsD, and can opt for email alerts about credit-report changes through the TransUnion CreditView Dashboard. Access to ID Assist can be requested through Desjardins mobile services or AccèsD in a browser. The service is free and listed for Android, iOS, and web. Desjardins says it does not share customer information without consent and never asks for a password or PIN. Support is available by phone or scheduled call.
