• The URL in the address bar must start with https:// and a valid digital certificate is issued to the site.
• Always take care when you are using a computer for financial transactions in public places such as Internet cafes, educational institutions, libraries, airports, and hotels, etc.Do not respond if you are prompted to save your login details.
• Never ever leave your computer unattended when you are connected to any Internet banking site. Make sure that you logout of the site fully after you finish your Internet banking session.

Don't Use unprotected computer/laptop at cybercafe for Internet Banking:

• Always assume that a computer that you do not control like in cyber cafes is unsafe for you to use for sensitive activities such as online banking.
• Be careful about using internet banking from PCs other than your own, such as those at internet cafes, which may not have up-to-date virus protection installed.
• If you want additional protection when using unfamiliar computers, set up an additional login with restricted access. You can set up and change Additional Logins under the 'Security' tab.
• Access of sensitive sites in Public Systems  can be dangerous, so don’t leave the PC unattended after keying in information while transacting on the website.
• Avoid accessing your bank accounts online at cyber cafes or on a shared system or public computer. Also, avoid locations that offer online connections through wireless networks (Wi-Fi), where privacy and security are minimal.
