The State Bank of India is a 211-year-old organisation, which has been re-inventing itself continuously to meet all its customer’s needs. The Bank has been rolling out products continuously to meet every need of their customers. All the products have received good response from customers. The State Bank of India owns a position in the patronage extended by their customers and markets.
In today's IT driven business environment, all the needs of customers are met through technology products. In this context, it is their duty to provide ‘Awareness’ on sole usage of IT products rolled out by banks. Customer safety is the bank’s prime responsibility. In this direction, I would like to share certain tips on how to safely use IT relating to various channels:
While using Debit Cards –
Take utmost care of your ATM PIN; do not share it with anyone; keep changing it at regular intervals; also do not write your ATM PIN in any place.
Keep the PIN a little complex and not as 1212, 4545,1112, as guessable ones.
Never give your card to waiters at Restaurants. Go by yourself to the Payment Counter and get the card swiped in your presence.
While doing "online" transactions, be sure about the Security of the Internet Connection. To the extent possible, do not use Public WIFI or other Free WIFI.
Do not get enticed by free offers and swipe/part with your Card data.
Do not share "mother's maiden name”, “your pet’s name” kind of vital information given by you as answers for security questions" for resetting of passwords.
Use ON/OFF facility provided for managing Debit Card’s international usage.
Be aware as Banks never call you asking for any sensitive data. Malicious actors may either entice you or threaten you and ask for sensitive information. Please exercise caution in respect of all telephone calls if they are leading to information involving your financial transactions.
As to "VISHING” for any sensitive data- malicious actors may either entice you or threaten you and ask for sensitive information. Please exercise caution in respect of all telephone calls if they are leading to information involving your financial transactions.
While using INTERNET BANKING Channel -
Keep your User ID and Password confidential; do not share it with any one; keep a STRONG PASSWORD - unfortunately, many people select simple passwords that are easy to remember, which are also easy for the cyber criminals to crack; Change the Password periodically; keep your login and profile passwords distinct from each other; do not use INB using insecure internet, like Public Wi-Fi or any Free Wi-Fi in Coffee shops, Airports, etc.; execute all your financial transactions on secure channels only.
Register your mobile number in the Bank accounts for SMS Alerts.
Do not keep more than required limits for beneficiaries for money transfer. Never share OTP/CVV and Password with anyone. Logout property and immediately on completion of your session /task.
Check your statements and transaction history regularly.
When we use the road say for driving, for walking, following safety measures has become a routine for all of us. In the same manner, while using Computers and information technology, SAFE USAGE OF l.T. should become an integral part of our life. In this manner, we would be able to protect ourselves and not be vulnerable to any fraudulent acts.
