Online banking has arrived to solve many daily problems. If you don’t have time to go to the bank to make a payment or a transaction, you can use your mobile application to perform these tasks. However, there are certain security breaches that might put our private information in the hands of third parties.

Cybercriminals are exploiting vulnerabilities to steal account information, personal data, and money. This is due to several factors, including the increased use of online banking services and the increasing sophistication of cybercriminals’ methods.

6 tips to protect your bank accounts

1. Use strong passwords: A strong password is the first line of defense once morest online attacks. Use unique and complex passwords for all your accounts and change these passwords regularly.

2. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): 2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second factor of authentication, such as a code sent to your mobile phone, in addition to your password.

3. Watch your personal information: Do not share your banking information through emails, SMS or phone calls. Banks will never ask you to share personal or financial information in this way.

4. Keep your system and software updated: Software patches and updates often include security fixes, so it’s vital to keep your system and all your programs up to date.

5. Use a secure connection: Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks when accessing your online banking accounts. These networks can be insecure and might be exploited by cybercriminals.

6. Make sure the website is secure: Before entering your data on a website, verify that the URL begins with “https”. The “s” means that the website uses a secure protocol.
