Block or deactivate your USSD profile

Never Expose your Personal banking details

Banking details should be confidential and should not be shared with anyone. Bank agents will never call you to disclose your debit card details to disburse or solve any account problem. Therefore, ignore any call or message requesting your account details. This is an efficient way to protect your bank account

Protect your Username and Password

Do not share your Username and password when you are using internet banking. Again, never use cheap words as your username and password because it is easier for scammers to remember them.

Do not store your details on your phone

Try to memorize the details to avoid exposing them.

Avoid unwanted Emails and Social media platforms

Do not subscribe to unwanted emails as well as unnecessary social media platforms. Fraudsters launch attacks using unknown links. This is because unknown links expose people’s personal details such as emails to the host. However, do not regard any email you did not subscribe to.

Never patronize too many POS agents

Never expose your debit card to too many POS agents. Try to have a trusted customer to ensure that your details are not copied
