Rapport Software

Rapport is lightweight security software designed to protect confidential data, such as account credentials, from being stolen by malicious software (malware) and via phishing. To achieve this goal, the software encrypts keystrokes from the keyboard to the browser and locks down the browser as well as communication. The software is compatible with Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X and can be downloaded free of charge. Financial Institutions are also offering this software free with a view to making online banking safer for customers.

Various banks are currently distributing the software to their customers via internet banking services. Banks promoting the software include HSBC, NatWest, The Royal Bank of Scotland, CIBC^[1], Ulster Bank, First Direct, Alliance and Leicester, The Standard Bank of South Africa BMO - Bank of Montreal^[2].

The software is compatible with the following browsers:

In May 2009, NatWest and The Royal Bank of Scotland were the first of the UK's High Street Banks to offer Rapport to its customers.

In February 2010, HSBC followed suit offering free copies of Rapport to its customers.^[3]
