    How to prevent Phishing
    • Always be on your guard. Ensure you only open emails, attachments, and links from people you are sure you know.
    • Always pay attention to a website's URL. Hover over any links to see where they lead. Rather than click on suspicious links, always access the online banking portals you use from your respective banks’ verified authentic websites.
    • If you are unsure whether an email request is legitimate, try to verify it by contacting the company directly. Report suspected phishing emails to [email protected] or call us on 019065000
    • Ensure your devices are updated with the latest effective anti-virus and always keep your software updated. Make sure you keep your anti-virus software up to date.
    • Never reveal any of your personal or financial information (PINs, Passwords, Card Numbers, Security Questions etc) in an email, text or over the phone.
    • Always investigate and verify what you see. Fraudsters now find it easy to illegally apply the colors, logos, and header of an established organization to present emails in a way that make them look legitimate.
    • If, for any reason, you believe your payment card data or transactional details may have been compromised in a data breach, please contact us immediately for guidance.

    Password security tips for you

    Passwords represent the keys to your personal and account information. Care must be exercised in constructing and maintaining passwords. The following are some easy steps that you can take to protect yourself from having your personal information compromised.

    Dos.

    • Use at least eight (8) characters
    • Use both letters and numbers
    • Use special characters if possible (e.g ! @#&$)
    • Use Upper and lower case
    • Use combined or misspelled words
    • Change passwords periodically or when you suspect a compromise

    Don’ts.

    • Do not use names
    • Do not use personal information
    • Do not use dictionary words
    • Do not write it on a sticky note and paste it on your monitor
    • Do not keep it in a drawer or write it in your diary
    • Do not use the same password for several applications
    • Do not recycle old passwords
    • Do not send through mail or SMS
    • Do not disclose it to someone else

    Tips for secure internet
    transactions

    Internet transactions are fast and convenient. However, they are also more prone to security risks.
    At Interswitch, we place a priority on ensuring you enjoy utmost security and confidence when
    transacting online, especially via any of our transactional portals (Quickteller, MyVerveWorld).

    • Always log-out after using your bank’s Online Banking
    • Never write down or reveal your password.

    • Check for a padlock symbol and site certificate on any site on which you’re transacting
