Risks Accompanied in Online Banking Transactions

Be informed, beware and be smart…Here are the risks accompanied in online banking transactions;

• Losing money from your online banking account is very possible.
• You bank account information can be shared easily.

Online banking transactions are risky. I said it because I encounter bad experience in online banking. Here’s the story;

1. I opened an online banking account with my preferred bank.
2. I used the email I used in my social media accounts.
3. I check balance regularly without clearing cookies afterwards.
4. I responded to email phishing.

Those are some of my mistakes. I am not saying opening an online banking account is a big mistake. The number 2, 3 and number 4 are the big mistakes.

Learn from these mistakes. Do not use the same email as if you are just creating a social media account. Always clear cookies, CTRL + SHFT + DEl can solve this problem. Lastly, beware of email phishing who are just collecting your bank account information.
