Internet Banking Alert Tips:
If you use internet banking, you should be very cautious. A little carelessness can empty your account. Here are some important tips that you should always keep in mind:
1. Do not share password with anyone
Do not share your bank account password, PIN, or other sensitive information with anyone. Banks never ask you for this information.
2. Avoid Public Wi-Fi
Do not do internet banking using public Wi-Fi networks. These networks can be vulnerable to hackers.
3. Do not click on unknown links
If you get a suspicious link on any email, message or WhatsApp, do not click on it. It can be a phishing attack.
4. Use only the official website and mobile app
Always do internet banking from the official website and mobile app of the bank. Do not trust the link shown on Google or other search engines.
5. Create a strong password and keep changing it
Your password should be strong and contain letters, numbers and special symbols. Keep changing it regularly.
6. Use multi-factor authentication
If your bank gives the option of multi-factor authentication (such as OTP), then definitely activate it. This provides additional security to your account.
7. Keep banking alerts on
Keep your banking alerts like SMS and email notifications on so that you get immediate information about any activity in your account.
8. Beware of unknown calls
If someone calls you pretending to be a bank employee and asks for your OTP, password or other information, do not give it to him. This may be a fraud.
9. Check banking statements regularly
Check your account statements regularly. If you come to know of any suspicious transaction, contact your bank immediately.
10. Clear browser history and cache
If you use a public computer, do not forget to clear your browser history and cache.
Caution is safety
Internet banking is for your convenience, but it is your responsibility to use it with security. Follow these tips and stay safe.
Remember: A little caution can save you from big frauds.
