Benefits of IdentityIQ

Let’s take a closer look at how IdentityIQ protects its members:

Dark Web and Internet Monitoring

IdentityIQ surveils the dark web and the internet to help ensure your private information doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. If we detect any of your data in unauthorized places, we alert you in real-time and give you a quick action plan to help protect yourself.

SSN Monitoring

IdentityIQ 24/7 Social Security number monitoring helps provide constant protection and helps detect risks to your identity. Unlike other monitoring services that only contact you when your SSN is used with a wrong address or name, IdentityIQ helps ensures you are never left in the dark by alerting you when your SSN is used.

Family Protection

You have the option to extend your member benefits to your immediate family. The IdentityIQ family plan covers expenses such as legal fees, lost wages, and other costs associated with identity theft. This protection allows you to focus on what truly matters – your family’s well-being.

Utility Payment Reporting

IdentityIQ goes the extra mile by reporting your utility payments to major credit bureaus. This means your on-time payments for utilities like electricity, water, or gas can work in your favor, helping improve your credit history.

Rent Payment Reporting

Similar to the utility reporting feature, IdentityIQ rent payment reporting can turn your on-time rent payments into a credit tradeline. We can also report up to 24 months of your past rent payments. This can help raise your credit scores, providing tangible financial benefits.

Identity Theft Insurance and Restoration

IdentityIQ offers peace of mind with a safety net of up to $1 million in identity theft insurance and restoration services, underwritten by AIG. In the case of identity theft, an IdentityIQ dedicated case manager based in the United States can guide you through a personalized action plan to help restore your identity and mitigate damages.

VPN and Antivirus

IdentityIQ gives you access to Bitdefender® Total Security VPN and antivirus software to enhance your online security. You can confidently browse the web with robust protection against online threats without compromising your device’s performance.

However, in the modern world, protecting your identity and finances is no longer a luxury; it is a necessity.
