First you have to login for digital transaction. This is password protected. So keep a password which is more difficult. Keep changing the password from time to time. Apart from this, do not share your user ID, password or PIN information with anyone. It is important to know here that the bank never asks you for user ID, password, PIN, CVV, OTP or card number information. Never store the User ID and Password on your computer, mobile or tab. It is better to keep the auto save or remember function disabled in your device.
Internet Security
Always pay attention to https while opening the bank’s website. Apart from this, avoid online transactions using Wi-Fi networks in public places. Always log out and close the browser if you are finished.
UPI Security
Always keep your mobile PIN and UPI PIN separate. Do not respond to any unknown UPI request. Always report suspicious requests. If any transaction has taken place without your knowledge, then deactivate the UPI service immediately.
Card security
Keep an eye on ATM machines or POS devices while transacting with debit or credit cards. Be careful while entering the PIN and keep the keypad covered. Do the transaction done through debit card only through online banking and make sure to check the authenticity of the one you are paying. Set a limit for the transactions done with the card.
Mobile banking
Always enable strong password and biometric permission for mobile banking. Do not share your mobile PIN with anyone. If you use biometric authentication then it will be better in terms of security. Avoid downloading unknown apps and using Wi-Fi networks in public places.
