## Safe Online Banking Setup for Seniors for Wisconsin businesses

Safe Online Banking Setup for Seniors from Wisconsin Tech Shop: Online banking set up safely: the real bank app installed, passkeys or two-step sign-in, alerts on, risky payment apps limited and a clear rule that the bank never asks for codes or gift cards. We work with businesses throughout Wisconsin, including Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Appleton, Kenosha, Eau Claire, La Crosse, Wausau and the Northwoods. Pricing typically starts at $150, and most projects take 1 day.

### What's included

- The bank’s real app installed and bookmarked
- Passkeys or two-step sign-in turned on
- Transaction alerts for the senior and a family member
- Zelle, Venmo and wire limits reviewed
- Practice spotting fake bank calls and texts

What this can look like

A Manitowoc widow now pays bills from her bank’s app with a fingerprint, and knows that a “bank” caller asking for a code is a scammer.

Illustrative example of a typical project.

## Who it's for

Adult children and grandchildren looking out for a parent, seniors who are tired of scam calls and emails, caregivers, and senior living communities, churches and senior centers.

## How it works

1. **Family call:** We talk with the family (and the senior) about who they hear from, what has gone wrong before and how much help they want.
2. **Trusted lists:** Together we build the lists of trusted people, businesses and numbers: family, friends, doctors, pharmacy, bank and church.
3. **Set up and practice:** We install and configure everything, then practice with the senior until it feels easy, with large print and simple steps.
4. **Family stays in the loop:** The family gets alerts and an easy way to approve new contacts, and we handle changes whenever they’re needed.

## Safe Online Banking Setup for Seniors FAQs

### Is Zelle safe for seniors?

Zelle and similar apps work like cash, and money sent to a scammer is usually gone. We lower limits or remove the feature if it isn’t needed.

### Do you log in to their bank?

No. They sign in themselves while we guide them; we never need or store banking passwords.

### Will Mom still get email from new people she wants to hear from?

Yes. Anyone can be added to her approved list in seconds, by her or by a family member, and their email shows up from then on.

### Does call screening block doctors and pharmacies?

Not if they’re on the approved list, and we add them at setup. Unknown callers can be asked to say who they are, so a new doctor’s office can still get through or leave a message.
