Due to an increase in fraudulent activity, especially on bank account data, UCPath is implementing additional measures to protect employee data at the end of July. Employees should have their bank account number ready any time they want to view or update their self-service direct deposit information in UCPath, as they will need to validate their account number.

This new account number challenge step will only appear if an employee wants to view or change their direct deposit information. It will appear after the security questions.

• Employees will need to enter one full active account number tied to their direct deposit.
• The system allows up to three attempts to enter an active account number correctly. After the third unsuccessful attempt, employees must try again the next day.

UCPath will also send email notifications this week about this new requirement.
