We always require an ID and password to access your accounts. You can also help maintain the security of your banking information by following the suggestions in the Individual Security Enhancements section. (Click on the Security link in our footer.)

Identity theft occurs when someone obtains your personal information (Social Security Number, date of birth, etc.) and then uses it to fraudulently apply for credit or open a new bank account, seriously jeopardizing both your financial health and your credit standing.

Threat actors use a variety of techniques to gather email addresses- websites, newsgroups, guesswork, and list trading.

  • If you believe you’ve received a Comerica-branded phish, smishor vish communication, reach out to Comerica directly.  Forward the email, take a snapshot of the text, or forward the voicemail of the suspicious communication
  • Do not share personal information, click links, or open attachments in unsolicited.
  • Go to the Web address you know to be accurate and confirm that the sites you are viewing are secure—shown by a padlock in the bottom right corner or “https” at the beginning of the Web address. Also, make sure your computer’s security software is current and that you have downloaded the most recent updates.

The credit bureau you call is required to contact the other two.

Encryption: Comerica Web Bill Pay uses 256-bit encryption to make your information unreadable as it passes over the Internet.

When you use your card, an authorization first verifies that you have sufficient funds in your account to cover the transaction. Then, when the transaction is approved, a hold or a temporary authorization is placed on the funds in your account. The hold instantly reduces the amount you can spend on your card, to prevent overdrafts. The amount that is left available for spending is called your available balance.

Hotels, restaurants and car rental agencies may place a temporary authorization or hold that is an estimate of the final bill. This policy is imposed by some merchants, not by Comerica. When the transaction posts to your account, the merchant will only take the exact amount of the purchase. Restaurant purchases usually match the correct amount in a day or two. For hotels and car rentals, the merchant is expected to finalize the posting within 6 days from the date of the transaction.

Contact our Card Service team at 800.572.6620 to submit a claim.
