Online Fraud Awareness

As your online presence grows, it’s important your security grows too. There are ways to stay safe online and protect your financial information from eager hackers and cybercriminals. Here are our recommendations:

Be Password Smart

  • Use a different and strong password every time
  • Create a strong password using a combination of letters (upper and lowercase), numbers, and special characters
  • Avoid using easily guessable information like birthdays or names
  • Change your password regularly and avoid reusing passwords across different services

Security Tips for Your Smartphone

  • Keep your smartphone locked and software updated
  • Use up-to-date antivirus software to protect against malware and other online threats
  • Always log out after completing your internet banking session, especially when using a shared or public device
  • Activate 2FA for added security, requiring both a password and a unique code (usually sent to your phone) to log in
  • Be careful when connecting to public Wi-Fi hotspots and unprotected free internet – this is the perfect playground for cybercrimes. Virtual Private Networks.

Keep Financial Details to Yourself

  • Never share your bank account details, passwords, or PINs with anyone, including bank employees.
    Financial institutions will never ask for your password via email or phone.

Monitor Your Account Regularly
