All three banks on this page have overdone their
homepage education efforts, especially Nationwide.
Intellegent Finance/Halifax PLC
Nationwide
NatWest
NatWest has been hit hard, even taking the
unprecedented step of briefly shutting down online
banking during a Dec. 10 phishing attack.
Co-operative Bank
http://www.co-operativebank.co.uk/
Royal Bank of Scotland
First Direct (existing customer homepage)
Like Citibank.com, First Direct includes a small
homepage link.
Smile http://www.smile.co.uk/
Smile’s news item about email fraud is an
homepage response to the problem.
United States
Citibank
Citibank’s anti-phishing education efforts are
the best we’ve seen.
Chase
Chase was the onlybank with two warnings
on its home page.
Chase recently posted a 14-page PDF document entitled “Chase Identity
Theft Kit” which includes tips for prevention as well as detailed
instructions and worksheets for victims. Any bank could use FTC resources to
develop a similar kit at a minimal cost
(a great college intern holiday project), refer to the FTC’s 37-page booklet
“When Bad Things Happen to Your Good Name”, www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/credit/idtheft.pdf
FleetBoston
US Bank
U.S. Bank posts its fraud warning only on its online banking login page. It’s good placement, but it’s not likely to be seen by many users. The bank should also send the warning to online banking customers via email.
