Bell Security Customers to Transition to API This Fall — What You Need to Know
On October 1, 2025, Bell will officially withdraw from the Canadian security industry, transferring all residential and business accounts to API. For Bell customers, this change will happen automatically unless the customer proactively chooses another provider.
When it comes to something as critical as protecting your home or business, the transfer provides an opportunity for customers to review their security needs and options.
What’s Happening with Bell Canada Security?
- Bell Security is ending operations in Canada this fall.
- On October 1, 2025, all Bell security accounts will be transferred to API.
Why This Matters for Bell Security Customers
Security isn’t just another service like internet or phone — it’s about peace of mind. The upcoming transfer of your account is an ideal time for customers to review and compare security services based on factors such as:
- Monitoring quality and response times
- Customization for system upgrades
- Pricing and contracts
Bell’s Track Record in Residential Security
Bell’s history shows a pattern of entering and exiting the residential security market without long-term commitment.
- In 2008, Bell launched a home monitoring service but exited within a year, refunding customers.
- In 2017, Bell acquired AlarmForce, adding more than 100,000 subscribers. Within months, however, it sold off nearly 40% of those customers in Western Canada to Telus.
- Now in 2025, Bell is once again leaving residential security, transferring accounts to API.
For customers, this history has meant inconsistent service, limited communication, and the realization that security has never been a telecom’s core focus.
