Tips for secure eBanking
Here are some important tips for using eBanking safely:
- Use a strong password that is different from all your other online services. Combine upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters to create a strong password. Make sure it is at least 12 characters long for optimum security.
- Protect your computer and mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.) from unauthorised access and lock the screen when you are no longer active on the device.
- As a second authentication factor, use the authenticator system rather than SMS.
- Do not write down your password on an insecure form such as a Post-it note or a piece of paper.
- Get a password manager. A password manager saves encrypts all your passwords, leaving you with a single password to remember.
- Keep your mobile devices, computers and web browsers up to date.
