Keep Your Credentials Confidential

Your login credentials, including usernames, passwords, and PINs, are the keys to your financial kingdom.

  • Never share them with anyone
  • Avoid using easily guessable information such as birthdays or pet names as passwords
  • Create strong, unique passwords that combine letters, numbers, and special characters.
  • Don’t use same password for all your ATM  cards
  • Dont use easy to guess passwords like 12345, qwerty and password as passwords
  • Dont use anniversary dates as passwords
Regularly Monitor Your Account

Stay vigilant by regularly monitoring your bank accounts for any unauthorized transactions or suspicious activity. Set up alerts for unusual account activity to receive notifications immediately if any suspicious transactions occur and quickly notify your account officer or your Bank for immediate remedy.

Be Wary of Social Engineering Tactics

Cybercriminals may attempt to manipulate or deceive you through social engineering tactics, such as pretending to be a bank representative or a trusted individual. Always verify the identity of anyone requesting sensitive information or financial transactions, especially if it seems unusual or unexpected.
