Cybersecurity Habits for Safer Banking

Digital banking depends on keeping your devices and account access secure. A few consistent practices can reduce common risks and make suspicious activity easier to spot.

Protect your sign-in

Use a unique, strong password for each financial account.
Turn on multi-factor authentication when it is available.
Never share a password, PIN, or one-time verification code with someone who contacts you unexpectedly.
Use a trusted device and secure network when accessing financial accounts.

Pause before you click

Unexpected messages may imitate a bank, government agency, or familiar company. Avoid signing in through links in unsolicited texts or emails. Contact the organization through a trusted website or number you already have.

Keep devices current

Install operating system and browser updates, use screen locks, and remove apps you no longer trust. Review account activity and contact your financial institution promptly through an official channel if something looks unfamiliar.
