Mobile access to CashPro offers flexibility for treasury management while introducing unique security challenges. This guide provides essential security practices for protecting financial operations when accessing CashPro from smartphones and tablets.

Mobile App vs. Browser Security for CashPro Access

When using mobile devices for CashPro access, you have two main options: the dedicated mobile app or a mobile web browser. Each offers different security characteristics:

Security Comparison

  • CashPro Mobile App: Provides stronger security boundaries, app-level authentication including biometrics, secure credential storage, and custom session policies
  • Mobile Browser: Uses browser security model with limited isolation, standard MFA without biometrics, and browser-managed sessions

For most organizations, the dedicated mobile app offers stronger security for CashPro operations. However, browser access may be appropriate for environments with strict mobile app management policies.

Essential Device Security Requirements

All mobile devices used for CashPro access should implement these security measures:

  • Device Encryption: Enable full-device encryption
  • Strong Screen Lock: Implement PIN, pattern, password, or biometric locks
  • Current Operating System: Keep OS updated with security patches
  • Remote Wipe Capability: Enable for lost/stolen device protection
  • Secure Network Use: Avoid public Wi-Fi; use cellular data or VPNs

Important Security Warning

Never use jailbroken (iOS) or rooted (Android) devices for CashPro access. These modifications compromise core security protections and may allow unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Mobile App Security Best Practices

When using the CashPro mobile app, follow these security practices:

  1. Install Only from Official Sources: Download only from Apple App Store or Google Play
  2. Enable App-Level Authentication: Configure PIN or biometric protection in addition to device lock
  3. Set Appropriate Session Timeouts: Balance security and convenience
  4. Keep the App Updated: Promptly install security patches
  5. Close the App After Use: Don't leave it running in the background

Browser Security for CashPro Login

If accessing CashPro via mobile browser, implement these security measures:

  • Verify URLs: Always confirm you're on cashpro . bankofamerica . com before entering credentials
  • Check for HTTPS: Verify the secure connection indicator
  • Use Private Browsing: Consider incognito mode for financial sessions
  • Disable Password Saving: Never allow browsers to store CashPro credentials
  • Complete Sign-Out: Always use the application's sign-out function

Secure Authentication Practices

Follow these authentication best practices for mobile CashPro login:

  • Use Official Entry Points: Access CashPro only through verified paths
  • Implement the Strongest Available MFA: Use all available authentication factors
  • Be Alert for Phishing: Mobile screens make fraudulent sites harder to identify
  • When Using Biometrics: Register high-quality biometric data and maintain backup authentication methods

Transaction Security

When conducting financial transactions after CashPro login on mobile devices:

  • Require Secondary Verification: Implement additional authentication for sensitive transactions
  • Double-Check Details: Verify amounts and recipient information carefully on small screens
  • Consider Mobile-Specific Limits: Set lower transaction thresholds for mobile-initiated payments
  • Restrict Recipients: Limit mobile payments to pre-established, verified beneficiaries

Enterprise Management Considerations

Organizations should implement mobile device management (MDM), establish clear mobile usage policies, provide security training, and develop mobile-specific incident response procedures to maintain consistent security practices across all devices used for CashPro access.
