What We Do
Protect Your Money (You Earned It, After All)
Everyone’s trying to get you to spend money these days, whether it’s the commercials that promise to help you avoid identity theft at an outrageous fee or the scary “fraud protection” ones that blare into millions of living rooms every night.
We do things differently at HelloWallet. Most importantly, we are completely independent, unlike “free” sites out there that are effectively peddling products for banks.
We also make security a priority. Our executive team and advisory board include seasoned veterans in the online banking and security industries, including former and current executives from RSA Security, VeriSign, and the SANS Institute.
Bank Level Security
We are able to safely link to thousands of financial institutions using bank-level security technology and standards, including:
* 24/7 system logging and intrusion monitoring
* 24/7 physical security at our redundant Tier 1 data centers, including highly restricted access via biometric scanners, closed circuit TV monitors, and windowless facilities
* A minimum of 128-bit SSL encryption for all data communications
* A minimum of 256-bit encryption technology for all user data storage
* Using CashEdge, a worldwide leader in online banking technology, to safely store your bank usernames and passwords with 256-bit encryption
* Security measures that have passed review by online security firms (VeriSign, Veracode, others) and security experts
* Required financial and criminal background checks for all employees
In addition, HelloWallet is a read-only system, which means it only displays information about your accounts–no one can actually move or withdraw money within the system. It’s one of the most secure ways on the internet to see and analyze your money.
