Choose strong unique passwords
Combining lower-case and capital letters, numbers, and allowed symbols. If you tend to use the same password for all websites, consider choosing a unique one for your banking purposes.
Use multiple authentication factors
Double or even triple authentication procedures may sound too long and obnoxious. And yet, it’s an extra layer of security. If you add biometrics into the equation, your finances may remain untouched even when your phone is stolen.
Avoid public Wi-fi
Public networks are more susceptible to breaches and less protected than private ones. If you need to access your bank account in a public place, use a VPN or a cell phone Internet connection.
Use trusted apps
Mobile banking apps are generally safer to use than bank’s websites. In particular, due to the possibility of biometric authentication. However, this is true only when you use a 100% genuine app.
