TIPS FOR SECURE ONLINE BANKING
Any organization or individual can become a target for cybercriminals. They are becoming increasingly skilled at tricking you into clicking suspicious links, downloading dangerous files, or logging into compromised social networks. Apply simple measures to protect your online banking information and avoid common cyberattacks.
STRONG PASSWORD
Preventing identity theft is essential. For this reason, it is recommended to use strong and unique passwords.
- Choose passwords that cannot be guessed easily. Avoid family names, birth dates, nicknames, and do not use the same password for multiple websites.
- Do not write down or publish your user IDs, passwords, or sensitive information anywhere.
- Change your passwords periodically and do not share them with anyone — not even with family members.
KEEP YOUR DEVICE SAFE AND SOFTWARE UPDATED
- Use antivirus and anti-malware programs and keep them updated.
- Regularly update your operating system and the applications on your device.
- Scan any software you download before installing it.
- Do not disable security controls on your phone — it may expose your device to risks.
SOCIAL ENGINEERING ATTACKS AND PREVENTION
Social engineering attacks attempt to trick you into revealing sensitive information or performing actions that can lead to fraud.
- If you have doubts about the authenticity of an email, message, or call that appears to be from ProCredit Bank, report it immediately: 0800 000 10, +373 22 27 07 07 or mda.pcb.antifraud@procredit-group.com.
- Be careful with downloaded files — they may look harmless, but some may be malicious.
STAY ALERT!
- Protect your phone or tablet with a password, fingerprint, or facial recognition.
- Regularly check your account activity and immediately report any suspicion.
- Avoid public Wi‑Fi networks for online banking and sending sensitive information.
- Regularly clear your browser cache after online banking sessions.
- Access ProBanking only by manually entering the official address — do not use links from emails.
- Keep your PINs and passwords safe and never share them with anyone.
- Beware of emails promising easy money — if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
- Ensure that antivirus, firewall, and automatic updates are enabled, and avoid using unknown computers.
ADDITIONAL PROACTIVE MEASURES
- Install apps only from official stores such as Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
- Always follow the terms and conditions of your bank.
- Be cautious of suspicious pop‑ups during online banking and contact the bank if you have doubts.
- Do not leave your computer unattended when logged into Internet Banking, and always log out properly when finished.
