ATH Móvil takes high-level security measures to protect your information and keep it safe from the moment you access the app and throughout the entire transaction process.
Encryption and Protection
All our systems are protected by firewalls that are constantly updated to block unwanted incoming connections to our network.
All the information that travels across our systems is stored in secure servers and is automatically encrypted with the high-level, 256-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption protocol. This encryption process keeps third parties from reading or modifying your information, guarantees the safety of your transactions, and safeguards your personal and financial data.
