Each function supports clarity, administrative control, and accountability across treasury operations.
Security Practices
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.
Multi-Factor Authentication
Required for login and high-risk activities to reduce unauthorized access.
Dual Control
One initiator and up to three approvers for maximum oversight.
Positive Pay
Monitors check and ACH activity with optional payee verification.
Audit Trails
Every transaction and approval action logged for review.
Authentication Methods
FIDO2 Security Keys
Physical USB or NFC devices that use public-key cryptography to authenticate the user and ensure 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.
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.
Mobile and Cross-Device Access
Mobile access is available through the Chain Bridge Bank, N.A. Treasury Management app. Authorized users may download the app from the App Store for Apple devices or Google Play for Android devices, and use supported functions across desktop and mobile devices.
Users who prefer browser-based access may open the Treasury Management Progressive Web App (PWA) from a mobile browser or via QR code. Do not log in to Treasury Management from the Bank’s homepage on your device to set up the progressive web app.

The mobile experience is secured with the same layered controls as the desktop platform, including two-step verification, secure tokens, and out-of-band authentication for payment approvals.
Client Verification and Cybersecurity Awareness
Treasury clients should remain alert to phishing, smishing, and spoofing attempts that target commercial credentials or approvals.
Always confirm that communications originate from chainbridgebank.com, and note that Chain Bridge Bank, N.A. will never request passwords or one-time passcodes by phone, email, text, or any other means.
If you receive a suspicious message, contact your Relationship Officer directly, or verify it using the Bank’s official phone number (703-748-2005) or the Get in Touch page.
Maintaining verification practices and client vigilance are integral components of effective treasury risk management.
