5 Smart Tips for Online Financial Safety

AAA Mid States
  1. Keep strong bank passwords that are different from your social media site passwords – and much harder to guess.
  2. Before making a purchase online, look for the symbol of a lock on the top of a web page. This encryption codes your debit or credit card information.
  3. Don’t sign in to your bank from a public computer like the library or a coffee house.
  4. Keep your anti-spyware and antivirus software up to date – and password protect your mobile device.
  5. Never respond to an email from what appears to be your bank requesting an update or confirm your confidential information. No legitimate bank or financial institution will ask you to send account information over email.
