Security practices
Layered security controls
Chain Bridge Bank, N.A. maintains layered security controls consistent with federal banking and industry standards. The Treasury Management platform emphasizes authentication, authorization, encryption, and transparent oversight to help organizations manage payments securely.
- I

Dual Control
One initiator and up to three approvers for maximum oversight.

Positive Pay

Authentication Methods
FIDO2 Security Keys. Physical USB or NFC devices that use public-key cryptography to authenticate the user and confirm the credential is bound to the Bank’s secure website. These hardware-based keys reduce exposure to phishing and credential-theft risks and are strongly recommended, especially for clients with high balances, large transaction volumes, or administrative access.
Passkeys. Password-free credentials stored on a trusted device or in an encrypted password manager. Passkeys use strong cryptographic authentication and can reduce exposure to certain phishing and credential-theft risks when properly implemented.
Authenticator Apps. Generate short-lived codes on a user’s device. These are stronger than text messages but can still be compromised if a code is shared with a fraudster.
SMS (Text) Codes. Supported for convenience but more susceptible to interception and social-engineering attacks.
Important notice
Chain Bridge Bank, N.A. will never ask you for your online banking credentials or any authentication codes sent by text, email, or authenticator app. Never share these codes with anyone.
While no system can eliminate all risk, these layered controls reinforce oversight, resilience, and operational integrity across treasury operations.
