Banking Security Tips
- Memorize your Personal Identification Number (PIN) and other security information and destroy the notification immediately.
- Do not write your PIN down or keep it in your wallet or purse.
- Do not solicit help from third parties. When in need of help, please call the Bank helpline
- Do not use easy-to-guess dates, numbers or passwords such as your birthday as the PIN or password.
- Change your PIN or password regularly.
- Sign up for SMS alerts to enable you cross check and confirm your transactions.
Emails/ Data/ Links/SMS from Unknown Sources
- Always delete spam messages.
- Be aware of the potential for fraudulent SMS messages. The Bank will never request or invite customers to log on to its mobile banking service via an SMS message.
- To avoid spyware, always act with caution when installing any third-party software onto your mobile phone. Do not install pirated software or software from unknown sources.
- Do not open attachments or links from unknown sources; this protects your handset from being infected by viruses
Unauthorized Access
- Do not share your mobile banking PIN with anyone.
- Do not share your mobile phone with untrustworthy people.
- Do not leave your mobile phone unattended during an open mobile banking session.
- Avoid performing transactions or applications in public places. This helps in minimizing the risk of security threats such as “shoulder surfing” of mobile banking credentials.
- Keep your mobile phone in an auto lock mode to provide additional protection.
- Do not log on to the mobile banking application from a mobile phone that is shared with other people, as it may be difficult to ensure the mobile phone is free of hackers or spyware.
