Is all my information secure and private?
Checkfree uses the latest technology to protect your personal financial information. They secure their web sites using SSL encryption. This ensures that your account numbers and personal data are never sent over the Internet unencrypted and therefore cannot be read by third party viewers. They also require a User ID and password to access your account. You can learn more about CheckFree's Privacy and Security policies here.
