Do my banking apps work with FuzeVPN?

Yes, your banking apps work with FuzeVPN. If your bank asks for an extra check, such as a 3-D Secure code, choose a location in your country to avoid it.

What to do

  1. Location in your country

    Does your bank ask for an extra check, such as a 3-D Secure code? Choose a location in your country to avoid it. Your bank may simply ask for one if the connection seems to come from another country.

  2. List of locations

    Find a location in your country in the Locations section of the home page. The country shown for each one is the country of its exit IP address.

  3. Country on the same continent

    No location in your country? Choose a location in a country on the same continent. If your bank asks for a check, simply confirm it.

  4. Choose the location

    In the app or the extension, choose this location, then connect. In the extension, choose it yourself rather than the “Automatic” option: that option picks the location that responded best recently.

  5. Excluded site

    In the browser, you can also exclude your bank’s site in the extension. Open “Settings → Browser protection → Excluded sites”, then turn on “Enable exceptions”. Enter the site in “Domain or URL”, then click “Add site”.

  6. Configuration file

    Using a configuration file, for example on iPhone, iPad or Mac? Each file always connects to its own location. Create one for a location in your country, or on the same continent, in the Devices section of your account.

  7. Old file

    The new file counts as one device. Delete the old file in your account if you no longer use it, to free up its place.

Why it happens

  • The connection seems to come from another country. With the VPN, the bank sees the exit IP address of the chosen location’s server. The country of this location is the country of that address.

Do my banking transactions stay protected with the VPN?

With the VPN, banking content stays encrypted all the way to your bank, thanks to HTTPS, the encryption used by secure web pages.

On hotel Wi-Fi, for example, the network sees only a connection to the VPN. It does not see the page content.

The VPN server relays the connection without being able to read this content. To learn more, read our guide on VPNs and HTTPS.
