1Tips for Safer Online Banking
By and large, the internet has made the transfer
of information much faster, and our lives much
easier. Banking and transactions are no
exceptionover half of U.S. adults a use online
banking for their daily banking tasks. However,
while online banking is much faster nowadays, it
can be less secure than face-to-face banking if
you dont take the proper precautions. Use a
strong password (and disable automatic login) A
strong password for your online banking account
is your first line of defense. Avoid using
personal words or phrases, like your birth date
or your middle name. Instead, to create a strong
password, incorporate upper and lower case
characters, numbers, and punctuationand disable
your browsers ability to automatically log you
in every time you visit your banks site. If
possible, use two-factor authentication. Your
bank may send you a small device that generates a
unique and temporary code required as part of
your login credentials Keep your computer
up-to-date Operating systems like OSX and
Windows, as well as browsers like Safari and
Google Chrome will release regular updates that
fix potential security flaws that make it easier
for hackers to find or intercept your login
information. Keeping your computer, browser and
security software up-to-date will make your
browsing experience more secure. Dont trust
emails or text messages from your bank No
reputable financial institution will ever send
emails or text messages requiring you to submit
your login information. These emails are usually
phishing attacks trying to trick you into giving
your credentials away to hackers. Do not click
on any links or respond until you have verified
that the emails came from your bank. Instead,
always access your online bank account by typing
the address into your browser directly. Access
your accounts from secure WiFi (check for
https) While public Wi-Fi networks are convenient
and accessible, they are often unencrypted,
making it easy for hackers to steal your login
information while you use online banking. When
possible, save online banking for when youre at
home, or use cellular data to access your banks
secure mobile app. Regularly monitor your
accounts One of the best methods to ensure that
your online banking is secure is to stay on top
of your finances. Checking your banking
information often will alert you to any
discrepancies or suspicious charges and make it
easier to pursue any action by alerting your bank
early on.
