Security Tips

The best way to defend you/yourself against financial fraud is to know how criminals operate. The more you know, the less likely you are to become a victim.

Cyber criminals are using more sophisticated methods to steal your information. Follow our tips to stay protected.

• Access online banking sites by typing the URL directly into the address bar. Be aware of pop-ups as they may indicate you have malware on your computer.
• Do not divulge your User ID and password to anyone at any time for any reason.
• Do not save your User ID and password on the computer. Do not use the “save and remember the password” feature in your computer/browser.
• Change your password on a regular basis and ensure your password is difficult for others to guess.
• Immediately change your password if you think it has been compromised.
• Do not type your password while anyone is watching. Make sure there is no one near you or who could look over your shoulder to see what you are typing.
• Do not let anyone have access to your personal details. Make sure to give out sensitive information (e.g., bank account numbers, home address, contact numbers, email address, etc.) only to trusted parties.
• Don’t use the same password for internet banking that you use for other online accounts.
• Don’t use public computers to do your banking, including those at libraries, Internet cafes and schools.
• Never use un-secure public wireless hotspots e.g. airports, hotels, conferences to exchange passwords and sensitive information over the internet.
• Do not reveal sensitive information such as your online banking password; card PINs or token codes to any third party.
• Be cautious of “spoofed” emails which may trick you to click on a link and access a bogus website to capture your personal and confidential information. Signal Capital Trust Plc will never email you and ask you to click on a link to go to Signal Capital Trust Plc‘s website.
