Digital & Online Safety: A Safety Reminder

A few good habits worth keeping close by when it comes to digital & online safety.

Why this matters

A stolen password, an out-of-date app, or one careless click on a fake link can hand a scammer everything they need to get into your accounts or your money.

How to do it

Use a different, memorable password for every important account, install update notifications when they appear instead of dismissing them, and only enter banking details on a website address you typed yourself — never one you followed from a link.

Quick recap

• Use a different password for each account — don't use the same one for online banking and social media.
• A memorable phrase with a number and symbol added makes a strong password. Never share it with anyone, even someone who says they're from your bank.
• Only do online banking through your bank's official app or verified website — never over public WiFi at a shop or restaurant.
