Receiving & Sending Secure Messages
In today’s era of online communication, making sure we keep your personal information safe has never been more important. And thanks to cybercrime, sending that personal information through a traditional email could compromise your security. That’s why you may receive a “Secure Message” from our office. Instead of seeing a message from us when you open the email, you’ll get a link to a Raymond James page. There you enter your login information and can view the message and reply. Here’s a preview of what to expect:
2 Factor Authentication
Your security is a top priority for us. That’s why you can expect an extra layer of security on your Client Access account. It’s called Two Factor Authentication – or 2FA for short – and it helps us verify that it’s really you logging in to your account. Watch this video so you’ll know exactly what to expect as Raymond James adds this feature to all accounts in 2020.
How to Use e-Signature
We don’t have to sit down together every time there’s a document that needs your signature. Using e-Signature saves you time and allows us to send you documents wherever you are. Watch how it works and then get your mobile phone ready. You’ll need it for the first security step of the process when we send you a code to confirm your identity. Watch each step in the process and you’ll be ready to sign.
