Digital Banking: Greater Security
Digital banking security is the practice of protecting your accounts and transactions through tools like Face ID, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and trusted apps.
Neglecting your digital banking security can lead to:
- Stolen credentials: Hackers can use your login details to access accounts and make fraudulent transactions.
- Financial losses: Unauthorized transfers or stolen funds can cause severe personal or business damage.
- Legal consequences: You may face disputes or investigations over compromised accounts.
Example:
A customer fell for a phishing email and unknowingly gave away their online banking password. Because Face ID was enabled on their app, the criminals could not log in from another device, preventing unauthorized access.
- Use apps that support multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Enable transaction notifications and alerts
- Avoid accessing accounts on public devices
- Never share personal data through calls or messages
- Don’t respond to suspicious calls
- Keep your banking apps updated regularly
- Use only trusted, official channels
