Internet banking security tips

Whereas internet banking will save you long queues in the bank, you ought to know that there are other people who might want a piece of your money — for free.

  • For starters, make sure there’s no one physically eavesdropping you unless they are trusted people while you enter you login details. Whenever using the system, you are to receive an OTP via SMS or email, it is up to you to ensure that it is only you who is accessing your account and no one else.
  • Use strong passwords. Most likely the bank will give you a default strong password you can use to access your account, but am sure they have an option of letting you choose your own password. A secure password is one that has alphanumeric characters and special symbols. “12345678” or “davidokwii” is not a secure password. “d@ve1sK00l” is a secure password.
  • Do not use a public computer like the one at internet cafe, even a desktop at work or a borrowed laptop unless you really have to.
  • Always look out for the padlock symbol in the website URL. Symbols like an unbroken lock or key and a URL that begins with https:// mean that no one but you and the merchant can view your payment information.
  • This can seem trivial, but remember to logout from your account once you are done. If you don’t, it’s like walking out of your own house and leaving it wide open for anyone to freely enter.
