Secure Email FAQ This section will answer commonly asked questions about the Scotiabank Secure Email System

August 20, 2012 23

1. Why is Scotiabank sending me secure e-mails?

Scotiabank is regulated and ethically obligated to protect information about our clients and business dealings from accidental or intentional exposure. E-mail has become a common and efficient means of communication and the type of information flowing is increasingly confidential as more customers use email to supply instructions of financial consequence and generally communicate confidential information. E-mail has similarly grown with business partners, displacing couriers and even file-transfer applications as a means of communicating information to conduct the Bank’s business. Those who work directly with customers are already seeing confidential information sent to us openly in email and will generally reply without removing those details in order to efficiently serve the customer. Even in these cases where a customer exposes their own information to the internet via email, our regulatory and ethical responsibility remains; we must ensure that the Bank’s actions do not expose customer information. The Secure E-mail system is managed by the Bank and the information remains on our systems, accessed securely by our customers and partners, who may copy details to their own systems but in that process, expose nothing to Internet systems and potential abuse.

2. I cannot remember my password? Who do they contact?

You will need to contact the Scotiabank employee that sent you the Secure Email. Once the Scotiabank employee is notified they can initiate a password reset on your behalf. Once the password reset is initiated you will receive an email with instructions on how to complete your password reset. For more information please reference the section “Secure Email Password Recovery”

3. I cannot view the secure e-mail I received over a month ago, what happened to the message?

Secure e-mails will be held for viewing for 30 days before deletion so please save any content or attachments you wish to keep. Please contact the sender if you need to have the information resent to you.

August 20, 2012 24

4. Can I receive attachments through the Secure Email System? Yes attachments can be received through the Secure Email system.
