Desjardins Financial Security Independent Network recognizes the importance of maintaining security and guarding against the piracy of the information you exchange with us over the Internet.

All our employees must adhere to the strict confidentiality standards outlined in confidentiality statement, which we invite you to consult.
Please take a few moments to read about the steps we have taken to make your online activities safe.
What is a secure section?
The secure sections of our website use the SSL protocol. When confidential information such as your name, address or password is sent over the internet, the SSL protocol is used to make sure the information stays confidential and isn’t altered in any way during transmission. Because the information is encrypted, it can’t be read as it travels between your browser and our site. Firewalls are another security feature we offer. Information being sent over the Internet passes through a number of safety checkpoints between your computer and our systems. This prevents unauthorized access to our systems.
To benefit from the security offered by the SSL protocol, you need to use a 128-bit encryption browser, such as Internet Explorer versions 4.01 and up (for PCs) and 4.5 and up (for Macs).
