Cybersecurity commitment

We’re committed to your security and financial well-being

Our assurance to you. In the unlikely event that cyber activity breaches our security measures, we will reimburse you for losses in your Raymond James accounts due to the unauthorized access to a Raymond James system caused by us.*

As a firm that puts clients above all else, we want you to have the highest level of confidence in doing business with your advisor and Raymond James.

*This reimbursement may only include direct losses in your domestic Raymond James fee-based advisory or commission-based brokerage accounts managed by RJA and RJFS financial advisors arising out of unauthorized online access to a Raymond James system to the extent you comply with your client responsibilities set forth herein. We will determine the type and amount of any reimbursement, including whether to replace the assets in your account. We do not cover indirect losses, such as taxes, legal fees, investment losses or other consequential, incidental, special, or punitive damages. We may not compensate you for losses for which you are reimbursed, or eligible for reimbursement, through other coverage, such as an insurance provider. This reimbursement requires you to tell us of any unauthorized access to your account no more than 60 days from the date Raymond James notified you of the transaction and to comply with our requests and procedures during the review of your reimbursement. We may ask you to cooperate with us in connection with any investigation, to take steps to protect against further losses, and to sign documents in connection with any reimbursement. We reserve the right to not reimburse your losses if you have not complied with any of the foregoing. This supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, or agreements. There is nothing herein intended to limit any right conferred under Regulation E, for applicable transactions.

Cybersecurity is our top priority

At Raymond James, we deploy multiple cybersecurity measures and privacy safeguards to monitor and defend Raymond James systems.

Security is a partnership.

Complying with these preventive measures help protect your accounts and ensure your eligibility for reimbursement

  1. Review statements: Check for unauthorized account activity and report suspicious transactions immediately related to the suspected activity by calling Raymond James Client Services at 800.647.7378.
  2. Assist in investigations: Help us investigate and address any unauthorized activity in your account.
  3. Safeguard information: Protect your login details, including username and passwords, and do not share them with any third parties (including aggregators). Sharing your information, including through suspicious emails, implies authorization of that person’s activities.

Additionally, secure your assets and personal information by:

Updating software: Install the latest updates and use security software on your computers and mobile devices. Security software includes antivirus, firewalls and encryption. Always wipe data before selling or disposing of devices.

Using wireless networks with caution: Avoid accessing sensitive websites on public Wi-Fi or when away from home.

Creating strong passwords: Use complex, unique passwords that contain a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters. Always enable multi-factor authentication. Do not share your passwords.

Opting in for electronic statements: Enroll in online document deliver through Raymond James Client Access to receive your statements electronically.

Staying alert: Never open attachments or click on links in suspicious emails or text messages or from senders you don’t recognize. Limit the personal information you share on social media.

Beware of scammers: Familiarize yourself with popular scam techniques, such as criminals posing as representatives of reputable companies such as your bank or claiming your computer is infected with a virus to gain access to your personal information. Misspellings and grammar mistakes are often a red flag.

Manage data sensibly: Shred sensitive documents before disposal.
