Robo-advisor Betterment disclosed a breach affecting ~1.4 million customers in January 2026.

What to do now

Steps that match what this notice says was exposed

Every step below is free and you do it yourself, and none of it depends on Betterment Robo-Advisor.

Tell your bank before you do anything else. Account and routing details are the fastest-moving of the fields in this notice. Call the number on the back of your card rather than any number in an email, and ask them to watch the account and reissue the card.

One more, whatever was exposed: a breach notice is a favourite disguise for a phishing email. If a message about this arrives, do not use its links — go to the company’s site yourself, or call the number on your statement.
