How Bank of America SiteKey Works for Online Banking Security

SiteKey at Bank of America

What is SiteKey?

The SiteKey security feature is an additional layer of identity verification for signing in to Online Banking.

SiteKey protects you from identity theft and fraud in 2 ways:

  • You know it's really us - when you see your SiteKey, you can be certain you're at the valid Online Banking website at Bank of America, and not a fraudulent look-alike site. Only enter your Passcode when you see the SiteKey image and image title you selected.
  • We know it's really you - we display your SiteKey when we recognize you as the true owner of your account. If you don't sign in from the computer you told us to recognize, we'll ask a challenge question.1

Your SiteKey consists of 3 parts:

  • A unique image you choose
  • Your image title - the unique phrase you create to accompany your SiteKey image
  • 3 challenge questions only you know the answers to - we'll ask them if you don't sign in from the computer you told us to recognize1
