Overview
Fort Knox is the world's first high-security savings account – an entirely new category designed for anyone who wants maximum protection for their savings.
Why we created Fort Knox
Bank fraud isn't some distant threat. It’s a pandemic that relentlessly targets every American consumer and business every single day through unsolicited texts, phishing emails, fake websites and malicious QR codes designed to steal identities and drain bank accounts.
Millions of Americans fall victim to fraud every year, collectively losing billions of dollars of their hard-
earned money because traditional bank security that relies on passwords, two-factor authentication and one-time codes fails to keep pace with increasingly sophisticated attacks.
Most banks try to balance convenience with security.
We don’t.
These banks focus on making it easier and faster to move your money at the expense of keeping it safe. They put the ability to rapidly transfer and drain your funds right next to your savings account behind the same weak security.
They enable payment apps, wire transfers and online banking features that prioritize speed over safety. Yet the faster and more convenient they make account access, funds transfers and payments, the less secure your money is.
While FDIC insurance protects account holders when their bank fails, there is often no protection when their bank's security fails.
The Platform
Unlike traditional banking platforms that bolt security on top of legacy systems, Fort Knox introduces an industry-first bank account architecture designed to prevent unauthorized access before it starts.
Its first product creates an entirely new category: the high-security savings account (HSSAs) for consumers – and, soon, for businesses – that fundamentally reimagines how banks protect their customers’ assets.
Built on patent-pending closed-loop banking architecture, Fort Knox requires a single, verified, externally linked account – which can be your existing checking account – to facilitate funds transfers, making it the only platform where fraudsters must defeat at least two banks' security measures to steal your funds.
This revolutionary approach combines next-generation identity verification from CLEAR® with customizable security controls and industry-first account protections to ensure your
savings stay yours.
