Protecting Your Investment Accounts with Added Security

In an era of rising cybercrime, protecting your financial assets online has never been more important. To enhance security, Netwealth will soon require all clients using the online portal or mobile app to enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)—a trusted security measure already in place for advisers.

Who is Affected?

This change only impacts clients who access their accounts online or via the mobile app. Clients who do not use online banking or mobile platforms will not be affected and can continue receiving updates through their adviser, email, or post as usual.

What is MFA and Why is it Important?

MFA is a simple yet highly effective security measure that prevents unauthorized access to your account. It requires a second verification step—a one-time code from an authenticator app like Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator—alongside your password. This added layer of security dramatically reduces the risk of fraud and unauthorized account access.

How Will It Work?

Once MFA is activated for a client, the next time they log in with their username and password, they will be prompted to set up MFA. They can choose to authenticate each login or opt to “remember this device” for 30 days to reduce frequent re-authentication.

When is This Happening?

You will receive advance notice before MFA is activated for your account. The rollout will happen gradually over the coming months, with full implementation expected by December.
