safe banking online involves making good choices – decisions that will help
you avoid costly surprises or even scams.
This brochure offers information and tips to help you if you are thinking
about or already using online banking systems. We will tell you how to:
Confirm that an online bank is legitimate and that your deposits are insured
Keep your personal information private and secure
Understand your rights as a consumer

How to bank safely online
Never login to your bank website through a link in an email, even if the
email appears to have come from your bank. Type the web address in yourself.
 The
login pages of bank websites are secured through an encryption process, so a
locked padlock or unbroken key symbol should appear in your browser window
when accessing your bank site.
The beginning of your bank’s internet address will change from ‘http’ to
‘https’ when a secure connection is made.
Be wary of any unexpected or
suspicious looking pop-ups that appear during your online banking session.
Stop and think about the process
you normally go through to make a payment to someone – be suspicious if it
differs from the last time you used it.
Check the online banking security options your bank provides; some offer free
anti-virus and browser security software.
Check your bank statement regularly and contact your bank immediately if you
spot any transactions that you didn’t authorise.
When sending money via your online bank account, always double check the amount
you are sending as well as the account number and sort code you are sending it
to.
Fraudsters sometimes try to trick people into making a real payment by claiming
“it’s just a test”.
Make sure has your bank has your up-to-date contact details.
Never give anyone your login details in full either by email or over the phone –
your bank will never request these in this way.
Browsers often come with security features built in. Make sure they are
activated.
