Rapport is a connection or relationship with someone else. It can be considered as a state of harmonious understanding with another individual or group. Building rapport is the process of developing that connection with someone else. Sometimes rapport happens naturally.

Rapport forms the basis of meaningful, close and harmonious relationships between people. It’s the sense of connection that you get when you meet someone you like and trust, and whose point of view you understand. It’s the bond that forms when you discover that you share one another’s values and priorities in life.

You can log in perfectly safely without running Trusteer Rapport. The only benefit it could give is spotting a potential phishing site that was masquerading as your bank – but plenty of other tools, including most modern browsers, can do this anyway (see below).

When Rapport is working, it should show an IBM Security Trusteer Rapport icon on the top left corner of your browser’s address bar. The icon should either be green or gray in color. When you visit a page protected by Rapport, the icon should turn green as shown below.

We strongly recommend that you do not uninstall Rapport. If you are experiencing difficulties with Rapport, submit a support request at https://ibm.com/support/trusteer. While a problem is being resolved, you can stop Rapport browser protection without uninstalling.

Rapport is started and the Console opens. If the pop-up window did not open, restart your browser. To check that the issue is resolved, go back to the Chrome browser and refresh the page by reloading it. On your browser, click the menu icon, then More Tools and select Extensions.

Trusteer Rapport is security software advertised as an additional layer of security to anti-virus software. It is designed to protect confidential data, such as account credentials, from being stolen by malicious software (malware) and via phishing.

Rapport strengthens your online security by ‘locking down’ the connection between your computer, keyboard and Santander Online Banking. It helps stop your data going to counterfeit sites, so you can be safe in the knowledge that only you are transacting on your account.

If you go to your bank’s website only via a saved bookmark that you created or use the mobile app that your bank offers, I don’t think installing Rapport is necessary. On one hand, installing antivirus software provides you with an extra layer of protection as Mac-specific exploits are discovered by security firms.
