In this lesson
Security for digital banking in Canada is part of Digital Banking. This preview shows how Banking connects to everyday family decisions such as earning, saving, spending choices, goals, approvals, or parent-guided money conversations inside Progress Penguin.
Today’s money mission
Imagine this: Aiden sets up online banking for the first time in Canada. The app asks: 'Enable biometric login?' and 'Set up transaction alerts?' Which settings actually protect them — and which are just convenient?
What you need to know
In Canada, secure your banking apps with a unique PIN, enable transaction alerts, and never share one-time passwords (OTPs) with anyone.
Real-life example
Aiden compares two accounts at a Toronto bank: one with no monthly fee but limited ATM access, one with a CA$10/month fee but unlimited transactions. At Aiden's spending level, the fee-free account saves CA$120/year. In Canada, switching accounts is easy — but most people never compare.
