Are my online banking transactions secure?


  1. Check your bank’s website. Look for a website security statement, or contact your bank’s customer service department if one is not available.
  2. Monitor your bank statements regularly. Make sure to check each transaction you make is correct and that no unknown transactions are listed.
  3. Ensure your Wi-Fi is secure. Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks for online banking if possible. Use a secure internet connection with up-to-date encryption.
  4. Install a firewall. Firewalls can help protect against threats from malicious websites, hackers, and viruses. Consider setting up antivirus software as well.
  5. Pick strong passwords. When setting up your online banking account, choose a strong password that is hard to guess.
  6. Be aware of scams. Do not disclose any confidential information such as your bank details or passwords. Never follow links sent to you in emails or SMS.
  7. Use two-factor authentication. Enable two-factor authentication, if your bank offers it, to add an extra layer of security to your online banking.
