FOLLOW THESE TIPS WHEN CREATING YOUR OWN PASSWORD
- Select a password that cannot be easily guessed by anyone else. Do not associate your password with anything personal such as birthdays, names, phone numbers or other familiar words. Do not use part of your User ID as the password
- Create a password with a combination of letters and numbers, use upper and lower case
- Memorize your password. Never write it down or reveal it to anyone. If you cannot remember the password, you should disguise the password and keep it in a safe place separate from your computer and account details of your bank or credit cards
- Remember no one should ever ask you for your password
- Change your password on a regular basis - e.g. every 30 days
- You can clear the cache and history from you Web browser. This feature is accessible from Internet Explorer’s tools menu
- Install virus detection software on your computer. This needs to be updated regularly to ensure that you have the latest protection
- To prevent viruses or other unwanted problems, do not open attachments from unknown or untrustworthy sources. Do not install pirated software
- Know everyone who uses your computer and limit unauthorized access
- Do not conduct any banking transactions in a public place (i.e. cyber cafe), as it is difficult to ensure such PCs are free of hacker programs (someone might be able to access your personal/account information)
- Verify that the Internet address is the genuine Web site by double clicking the "lock" icon at the bottom bar of the screen to check the validity of the security certificate
- Always remember to log off when you have completed your banking activities.
