Cash Assist
If you work as a cash handler, you may want to try out the U.S. Currency Education Program's Cash Assist Mobile app. This app gives helpful guidance on authenticating Federal Reserve notes*.
​
Features include a "Denomination Detector" which utilizes your device's camera to identify the bill you're authenticating, and displays key security features on genuine currency to look for as part of your authentication process. ​
The app also offers a "Tilt Check Simulator" which is an interactive feature that reveals how security features on banknotes function while in motion.
​
Cash Assist is a helpful tool to stay updated on the latest security features of U.S. currency, and is available for free on the Apple App Store for iOs and the Google Play Store for Android devices.

Verified by Visa
Verified by Visa is a free program developed to help ensure that payments for online transactions are made by the cardholder. The aim is to make online purchases as safe, quick, and easy as the purchases you make in stores.
​
Whenever you're shopping online, keep an eye out for the Visa Secure badge. If the online store has this badge, it means your online purchase with that merchant is secured with Visa. Verified by Visa is a program that helps confirm your identity during your checkout process.
