The most effective account security combines strong credentials, access controls, and alert habits. Credicorp accounts hold sensitive financial data about your company, so a few deliberate steps go a long way.
Use a strong, unique password
Choose a password that is at least 14 characters and is not reused on any other service. A password manager makes this straightforward. Avoid anything derived from your company name, director names, or easy keyboard sequences. Change your password immediately if you suspect it has been exposed.
Control who has access
Only grant portal access to individuals who genuinely need it. Review your authorised users periodically and remove accounts for staff who have left the business. If your account supports named users or role permissions, use them rather than sharing a single set of credentials across the team.
Stay alert to session and device security
Always log out after each session, particularly on shared or public devices. Avoid accessing your account over public Wi-Fi without a VPN. Keep the operating system and browser on any device you use for finance up to date; many breaches exploit known vulnerabilities in outdated software.
Monitor account activity
Review your account dashboard and any email notifications regularly. If you see a transaction, login, or change you do not recognise, contact us immediately through the details on our official website.
We lend only to UK limited companies and LLPs, and the loan is to the company with no director personal guarantee. As business finance outside the consumer-credit regime, it is not covered by the Financial Ombudsman Service or FSCS.
