When using Mobile Banking, there are things you can do to protect your accounts and sensitive information.
- Never give out your Online Banking password
- Memorize you username and password. Never store it on your mobile phone or write it down on a piece of paper that you carry with you.
- Choose passwords that would not be easy for others to guess. This includes information that could be found on social sites or public information, such as your name or a family member name, phone number, birthday or pet name.
- Establish a security code (sometimes called a passcode) to access your mobile phone. This locks your phone after it's been idle for a while and won't allow anyone to access it who doesn't have the code.
