In Bankline we have a range of security features to put you in control and protect your business from fraud and cyber attacks:

Dual control features let you decide when two or more users will be needed to approve payments and changes to your profile

Adding as many accounts as you like, including accounts for your other businesses
Setting your own payment limits that reflect the needs of your business
