- Use a strong password
- Never share your password or one-time password (OTP)
- Avoid using public or shared computers
- Log out after each banking session
- Keep your contact details up to date
Remember that the bank will never ask for your password or OTP through email, SMS or phone calls.
Stay alert to scams
Fraudsters sometimes pretend to represent trusted organisations to try to obtain your personal or banking information. Be cautious if you receive messages or phone calls asking you to:
- Share your password or OTP
- Click on unfamiliar links
- Transfer money urgently
- Provide personal or banking information
If something does not seem right, do not respond immediately. Take a moment to verify the request through the bank’s official channels.
