Safeguarding Your Finances: A Comprehensive Guide on How to Keep Your Account Secure

How to Keep Your Mobile Bank Account Secure

In today’s digital age, Fintech has revolutionized the way we manage our finances, offering unparalleled convenience and accessibility. With just a few taps, we can check our account balances, send money, and pay bills. However, this newfound ease comes with a crucial responsibility: securing your account from potential threats and vulnerabilities.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore essential tips and practices to empower you to secure your mobile account and protect your financial well-being.

Use Strong and Unique Passwords: Create a strong, unique password for your account. Avoid using easily guessable information such as birthdays or common words. Include a unique combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Regularly update your password to enhance security.

Keep Your App and Device Updated: Regularly update your mobile app and device operating system. Updates often include security patches and improvements, reducing the risk of vulnerabilities that could be exploited by cyber-criminals.

Secure Your Device: Implement security features on your mobile device, such as PIN codes, fingerprints, or facial recognition. Ensure that your device automatically locks after a period of inactivity. This will serve as an additional layer of protection in case your device falls into the wrong hands.

Monitor Your Account Regularly: Stay vigilant by regularly monitoring your account for any unauthorized or suspicious transactions. Contact our eGlobex customer service if you suspect any suspicious behaviour.

Secure Your Personal Information: Protect your personal information, such as account details and passwords, from prying eyes. Avoid saving sensitive information on your device, and never share your login credentials with anyone. Use a secure and private location to store important documents related to your account information.

Log Out After Each Session: Always log out of your account after each session, especially when using a shared or public device. This prevents unauthorized access in case your device is left unattended.

Educate Yourself on Security Features: Familiarize yourself with the security features provided by the app. Understand how to report suspicious behvaiour, and reach out to our customer service team to lock your account if needed.
