We're all reliant on our banks to protect our day-to-day financial transactions, but they can only do so much. If someone gets access to your bank account or opens a credit card in your name, you'll have problems beyond getting your money back. In fact, this could be the first step of a multi-layered identity theft issue.

Problems like this happen to the best of us, and LifeLock is here to help limit the recovery burden as you work through identity theft. Here's how LifeLock's plans cover more ground than banks can.

The rundown

  • With dedicated restoration specialists, you'll have an expert who can handle stressful issues such as insurance coverage and scam reimbursement.
  • The more your finances grow, the more your risk may grow. LifeLock helps you keep an eye on your finances with AI-powered financial defense and personalized alerts.
  • As a pioneer in identity theft protection, LifeLock has the experience you need to handle a crisis.

Get a dedicated restoration specialist

Banks have your back, but they can't do everything. With LifeLock, you're never lost in the shuffle. If you are a victim of identity theft while with LifeLock, you'll be paired with a dedicated, U.S.-based restoration specialist. They'll be on your case from the very beginning to resolution. If they're unable to reinstate your identity to good standing, you'll have the current term of your subscription refunded.

Restrictions apply. Automatically renewing subscription required. See LifeLock.com/Guarantee for complete details

Scam reimbursement

One of the ways LifeLock sets itself apart from the basic protection offered by banks is concerning scams. Banks tend to reimburse losses from fraud, but scams are a different story. That isn't something some banks cover. LifeLock offers scam reimbursement up to $10K for eligible losses. Terms, conditions, exclusions, and eligibility requirements apply.

Multi-bureau monitoring

Getting one look at your credit is nice, but it might miss something. LifeLock's services offer multi-bureau monitoring, starting at two bureaus with the Core plan and monitoring all three major bureaus on the Advanced and Total plans. Getting a credit score alert is the first indication something is amiss. Don't ignore the warning signs. The faster you move, the less time scammers have to do damage.

AI-powered layer of defense

AI is particularly good at pattern recognition. LifeLock's AI-powered financial defense keeps an eye on your surface spending to track variables like unusual spending and unfamiliar merchants. If you're experiencing credit fraud, it will guide you through the next steps, ensuring you feel safe no matter the time of day. You get help the moment you need it.

LifeLock offers a legacy of protection

LifeLock has been around for over 20 years, and in that time, it's become one of the top identity theft protection services for a reason. Your protection is LifeLock's number-one goal. A bank's purpose is to keep your money secure. But LifeLock isn't only concerned about your money. Your identity is far more valuable than any individual transaction. With LifeLock, that's what you're securing.
