SafeWeb® Remote Banking Insurance is available to financial institutions that offer customers on-line remote banking services. SafeWeb provides insurance for individual bank customers that are utilizing bank-from-home computer services, commonly known as PC, internet, home or remote banking services. The SafeWeb policy insures such customers against unauthorized transactions in their accounts that occur through remote banking systems. Under applicable banking regulations, home banking customers can be personally liable in certain circumstances for loss arising from unauthorized transactions in their accounts. The SafeWeb policy can be written on a master policy holder basis with coverage applying to the home banking customers of a specified financial institution.
