How Cathay Bank protects your information

Cathay Bank recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of our customers’ personal financial information. Our goal is to maintain the trust and confidence of our customers when handling their personal information, as well as that of our prior customers, and other individual consumers who obtain or request a financial product or service from us. We only collect and use the information we need to deliver the high level of customer service you have come to expect, including informing you about products, services and other opportunities that may be of benefit to you.

Keeping your banking experience safe

Cathay Bank reviews and approves the use of different browsers to ensure that they meet the bank's strict security standards. In addition to browser requirements, passwords and other safety features, Cathay Bank uses other methods to help ensure that your banking experience on the Internet is safe and secure. We have a precise authentication process to ensure that when you request information on your account, only you receive the information. Cathay Bank's systems are protected by what's called a "firewall," allowing entry only to those who are authorized. For digital identity verification, we have a Cathay Bank digital server certificate by DigiCert that your browser uses each time you sign on to protect the communication from your computer to Cathay Bank’s systems. Cathay Bank will never request confidential information from customers via email or pop-up windows.
