Online Security Tips

At Prodous Bank, we are committed to safeguarding your online banking experience. Follow these essential security tips to protect your account and personal information from online threats.

1. Use Strong and Unique Passwords

Create strong passwords that are at least 8-12 characters long, incorporating a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using easily guessed information like your name, birth date, or common words. For enhanced security, avoid reusing passwords across multiple sites.

2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Whenever possible, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your account for an extra layer of security. This requires a second form of verification, such as a text message or authentication app, each time you log in, making it more difficult for unauthorized users to access your account.

3. Beware of Phishing Attacks

Be cautious of unsolicited emails, text messages, or phone calls requesting personal or financial information. Prodous Bank will never ask you for your password, PIN, or security questions. Verify the source before clicking on any links or downloading attachments.

4. Monitor Your Account Regularly

Regularly review your account activity for any unauthorized transactions. Contact Prodous Bank immediately if you notice suspicious activity. Setting up account alerts can help you stay informed about changes to your account in real-time.

5. Update Your Devices and Software

Keep your devices, operating systems, and apps updated to protect against security vulnerabilities. Install reputable antivirus and anti-malware software and activate firewalls to help safeguard your personal information.

6. Avoid Public Wi-Fi for Banking

Refrain from accessing your online banking account on public or unsecured Wi-Fi networks, as they are more vulnerable to attacks. If necessary, use a virtual private network (VPN) to encrypt your connection when accessing your bank account from a public network.

7. Log Out After Each Session

Always log out of your account when you finish your online banking session, especially on shared or public devices. Simply closing the browser may not securely log you out, so be sure to click "Log Out" or the equivalent option in your account.

8. Enable Account Alerts

Set up account alerts via email or SMS to receive notifications of any account activity. These alerts can help you detect unauthorized transactions quickly, allowing you to take action to secure your account if needed.

9. Use Secure Browsers and Verify Website Authenticity

Always access the Prodous Bank website through a secure browser and verify that the URL begins with “https://” and displays a padlock icon. Avoid accessing your account through unknown links or search engines, as they may lead to phishing sites.

10. Report Suspicious Activity

If you notice any unusual activity or suspect your account may be compromised, contact Prodous Bank immediately. Our support team is available to assist you in safeguarding your account and taking corrective measures if necessary.

Your security is our priority at Prodous Bank. By following these best practices, you can help protect your personal information and enjoy a safe online banking experience.
