  • Never disclose via text message or email any banking details (account numbers, passwords) or any combination of sensitive information like your driver’s licence number or birth date that could be used in ID theft. Be wary of downloading files if you don’t trust the sender
  • If you lose your mobile device or change your mobile phone number call an Internet Banking specialist on 13 22 66 or logon to Internet Banking and update your contact details
  • Do not hack or modify your mobile device as this can leave your device open to infection from a virus or Trojan.
  • Sign out after each Mobile Banking session.
  • Register for Secure Code, this service sends a unique code to your mobile phone or nominated landline telephone to authenticate certain types of Internet Banking transactions

Remember mobile banking applications or “apps” that let you monitor your finances and conduct certain transactions are increasing in popularity. Be cautious of those apps that request you store your banking log in details within them.
