1.NEVER CLICK LINK
For your online bank use, refrain from clicking on a link sent to you, even if it looks authentic. Henk warns that this is a common way of trying to get your details under false pretences. Make sure that there is a small locked padlock symbol next to the web address. This means that the site is encrypted and is the universal symbol indicating it is secure.
2. PROTECT YOUR PIN
Look after your PIN as though it was the key to a safe. You should never write it down or store it somewhere such as in your phone. Also don’t be tempted to share your PIN.
3. KEEP AN EYE OUT AT THE ATM
Don’t draw money if the ATM has a blank screen and never force your card into an ATM slot. Immediately cancel your card if it is swallowed or if you even have a small suspicion that there might have been fraudulent activity.
