Protecting your financial identity

Protect Your Password

Passwords should be your best-kept secrets

Passwords are used to authenticate your identity. A lost or leaked password can result in the misuse of your personal information, bank account information, and social contacts and correspondence.

Do

  • Change your passwords regularly
  • If you suspect that your Internet Banking / Mobile Banking password has been compromised, change it immediately and report the incident to the Bank.
  • Disable Auto Complete or Remember Password options in the Internet Browser while accessing Internet Banking systems.
  • Always close the Internet Browser window once you have logged out of the Internet Banking site.

Don’t

  • Use ADCB Internet/Mobile Banking username, PIN, password and/or One-Time Password (OTP) on non-ADCB apps/websites.
  • Use ADCB Internet/Mobile Banking username, PIN, password and/or One-Time Password (OTP) for registering to non-ADCB apps or services. Using ADCB Internet/Mobile Banking username, PIN, password and/or One-Time Password (OTP) on non-ADCB apps/website may end up in sharing your credential, personal information and transaction details with unauthorized parties.
  • Disclose your PIN or password to anyone else, including Bank staff. (Note: We will NEVER ask for these details).
  • Use your birth date or name as your PIN or password. Internet Passwords should be alpha numeric e.g. pencil37.
  • Store passwords on your computer.
