CYBERSECURITY TIPS

1. Use Strong, Unique Passwords

Avoid using the same password across multiple accounts. Combine uppercase, lowercase, numbers, longer word and symbols or even better use facial recognition, fingerprint ID, or passkeys instead of traditional passwords.

2. Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Always activate MFA on your banking apps and email. It adds an extra layer of protection even if your password is compromised.

3. Beware of Phishing Scams

Don’t click on suspicious links in emails or texts claiming to be from your bank. Banks will never ask for sensitive info via email or SMS or call you in person.

4. Avoid Public Wi-Fi for Banking

Public networks are vulnerable to interception. Use a VPN or wait until you're on a secure, private connection.

5. Keep Devices and Apps Updated

Regular updates patch security vulnerabilities. Enable automatic updates for your phone, browser, and banking apps.

6. Monitor Your Accounts Frequently

Set up alerts for large or unusual transactions. Report suspicious activity to your bank immediately.

7. Install Antivirus and Anti-Malware Software

Protect your devices from malicious software that can steal your data or download software from reliable and trusted source. Keep your security software or antivirus up to date.

8. Be Cautious with Third-Party Apps

Only link your bank account to trusted, verified apps. Review app permissions and privacy policies before connecting.

9. Log Out After Each Session

Especially important on shared or public devices. Don’t rely on auto-login for sensitive accounts.

10. Stay Informed

Follow your bank’s official channels for security updates. Learn about the latest scams and how to avoid them.
