  • When would my coverage start?

    You will be eligible for coverage as soon as you enroll. While some features begin as soon as you enroll, for certain features to work, such as financial threshold and social media monitoring, you will need to enter your account information for us to begin monitoring.
  • Transition icon
  • What if my employment status changes?

    Good news! If you leave or retire from your current employer, you can continue your coverage without interruption (subject to applicable law and the plan’s terms and conditions). Although payroll deduction will no longer be available, you can opt for other payment methods such as direct bank account deduction, credit card billing or home billing. Higher rates may apply.

  • Why would I need Aura when my bank and/or credit card company offer a program?

    Aura invests considerable resources into developing and advancing identity theft technology, and spends hours learning how identity thieves work. This means that these identity protection services are far broader and more comprehensive than a bank or credit card, which is usually based only on credit. Not only do these services monitor it all, but also fully manage and restore your identity in the case of fraud, which means you do none of the legwork. Finally, an up to $5 million identity theft insurance policy means you don’t have to cover the costs of recovering your identity.1

  • Is it safe to give MetLife & Aura my sensitive information?

    MetLife & Aura comprehensive information security policy applies to all of its employees, consultants, contractors, and vendors:

    • Your information is stored solely in an encrypted data center on non-public networks behind firewalls using network address translation and address control lists
    • Security protocols enable only a limited number of professionals to access data on a need-to-know basis
    • All facilities utilize the latest security measures, as well as state-of-the-art surveillance and alarm systems

  • Is identity theft a concern for my children, too?

    Kids’ online identities can be a serious concern for parents. The family plan provides coverage for kids and teens of all ages, so you can help protect their personal data and give them a safe head start. 
  • bank statement icon
  • When I activate credit monitoring, will it impact my credit score?

    No, activating credit monitoring on your Aura account is considered a soft inquiry, which does not impact your credit score, as it is informational only and not a credit application. This is different from a hard inquiry, which occurs when you apply for credit. A hard inquiry can impact your credit score.
