An identity verification alert came through and Shanna provided exquisite service - she was thorough, patient and knowledgeable. Since I had no relationships with the bank that performed the ID check, Shanna helped me first contact the bank to ensure no applications were in process. Seeing none (thank God), she also helped me decide whether or not to freeze my credit. I was hesitant but after she explained what that entailed I decided to do the freezes. I am so glad I did! It has brought me great peace of mind. I am so glad I have a membership with Aura and especially for representatives like Shanna! She prevented a potential identity theft and the major hardship that would have caused. Thank you!

I called, had a polite and articulate person immediately answer, and was fully supported as we phoned and dealt with the credit card company together. She (Shanna) stayed on the line after the resolution to help me freeze my credit files from predators, all the while giving me very helpful tips and advice. I have already recommended Aura to my family and friends. It's definitely worth every penny!

It was nice to talk to ONE person (instead of being passed around from one person to another) who immediately understood the situation and what the next steps were to resolve my case.

I was able to immediately contact my credit card company to stop the transaction. They've also been great about removing my name from databases so I no longer have an email box full of unsolicited messages.

Read moreAfter being a victim of identity theft when my social security card got "lost" in the mail, my credit was ruined. It's taken me years to build it back up. Once I did, I signed up with Aura to protect it. I have nothing but positive things to say about Aura. The alerts I get when I open a new account lets me know that they are monitoring 24/7. And the customer service agents are awesome. I can sleep better knowing that my accounts are protected with Aura.

Why Aura might not be right for you
We might not be the perfect fit — and that’s okay! Even with thousands of 5-star reviews, we know we’re not for everyone.
You might be better off with an alternative if:
You’re looking for a dedicated password manager, VPN, or antivirus protection.
Aura is an all-in-one solution that includes tools to protect you against online threats, such as hacking, malware, and phishing attacks. However, some dedicated tools may include deeper functionality.
You want to see everything on your child’s phone.
Aura’s family plan includes screen time limits, internet history reports, app and website blocking, and more. However, Aura won’t give you access to your child’s texts, emails, and private messages.
You’re looking for help rebuilding your credit.
Aura monitors your financial accounts and helps protect you against fraud with three-bureau credit monitoring, fast fraud alerts, one-click credit lock, and bank account monitoring. Aura doesn’t provide financial advice, simulators, or other tools for actively rebuilding your credit.
You’re concerned about the monthly cost of Aura.
Aura brings everything you need to stay safe online into a single, easy-to-use app. If you’d like to sign up for Aura but are concerned about the monthly cost give us a call at 844-203-4727.
