Question

How to save my bank account details safe in smartphone?

Answer 1

• If your bank provides a mobile banking app, it’s best you install it right away and avoid accessing your bank account via your smartphone’s browser. Download the app only from your bank’s official website.

•  If, unfortunately, your bank only offers the home banking service – meaning, no mobile banking app – avoid accessing your bank account via your smartphone’s browser if you don’t have a mobile antivirus installed.

•  Don’t use public Wi-Fi networks for bank transactions and turn off your Bluetooth connection when not in use. These can be open windows for eavesdroppers intercepting your transaction or installing spyware and other malware on your smartphone.

•  Update your operating system and applications on your smartphone, including the browser, in order to avoid any malicious exploits of security holes in out-dates versions.

•  Install an effective mobile antivirus on your smartphone. You never know when the urgent need to transfer money may arise. And whichever mobile banking method you use, mobile antivirus and antiphishing tools are must haves. BullGuard Mobile Security 10 comes with such features and more.
