Secure login procedure

• Check if your anti-virus software and firewall are active.
• Enter the address of CitiDirect login page (https://portal.citidirect.com/) manually in your web browser address bar, or add it to your “Bookmarks” (“Favourites”). Never search for the login page in the web browser search’s engine, because among search results there might be false login pages created by fraudsters.
• Before you start logging in make sure you are on the correct, secure login page. Your browser must show a locked padlock in the address bar, which means that the connection is encrypted. The site address must start with "https."
• The https://portal.citidirect.com site is secured with a security certificate issued by Symantec.
• Before you log in to the service check if the certificate is valid and verify its issuer.

  How can I check that the certificate is valid?
