Online banking has made it easy for you to carry out your personal or
business financial transaction without going to
bank and at your suitable time. This facility enables you to transfer money to other accounts, pay utility bills, applying for OD and setting up standing orders and checking your current balance alongside the status of any financial transaction made in your account. However, in order to maintain
safety and to avoid any misuse of your
Online account, it is necessary to follow some precautions ensuring that your money with bank is safe and your confidence on online banking is stable.
The first notable precaution is to use online banking through a safe computer, meaning that you use a secured PC which may be your own personal computer at home or your reliable office computer but avoid using a public place computer such as any hospital PC, public library PC or any
cyber café etc. The reasons may be that at various computers networks different temporary files are maintained and on various networks cookies are created while your visit other sites and it is also come to know that at various cyber cafes some types of hacking software are installed which maintain key logs and send information to other particular destination. Therefore good practice is to avoid using computers on such places while you are dealing with your precious information.
The next notable precaution deals with the selection of your password. It is firmly advised that a password MUST NOT be the easy word or a word which has any connection with you such as part of your name, your birth date, your home address, your phone number, your children or family member name, your office name, your pet name, your car number or model. Always make your password with a combination of letters and digits i.e. a good password may be cmb099asd643aas instead of cmbasdaas or 099643. A password should be intelligently made that you keep remember and type well but not easily guessed by others.
The next notable precaution is to keep your own personal computer free from any viruses and
spy worms or suspicious software as they may act similarly as any infected PC in cyber café. So you must update your anti
virus software and use frequently such reliable software which can detect and clean any spy worm arrived in your PC through internet.
Of course there may be some other precautions to consider while using online banking but above three basic precautions will certainly save your online account from misuse and your will enjoy the benefits of online banking without any difficulty and reservation.
