Safeguarding the integrity of our clients' accounts is a top priority for us. We continually monitor accounts using a combination of technology, people and processes to protect our customers, their assets and their data.
Our practice is to reinstate a client’s TIAA account in full if there is a loss that is determined to be the result of unauthorized activity through no fault of the client. At the same time, it is important that clients safeguard their account information by following common security practices as outlined below. If there are indicators that a loss is attributable to client negligence, further investigation may be required before we can make a determination regarding restitution.
