Mobile Banking Security Tips
Using your mobile device to manage your account is convenient and saves you time, but you do need to make sure it is secure. Below are a few tips to keep your banking safeguarded.
- Treat your mobile device or tablet just like your debit card. If it is lost or stolen and you have not protected it properly, your information may be at risk. Always store your phone in a safe place.
- Only download and install Crossroads Bank apps from Google Play Store and Apple App store.
- Always lock your device. If your device has a locking feature, such as a tracing pattern or inserting a PIN, be sure to use it. It might slow you down each time BUT the extra security may be enough to keep someone from accessing your account before you can report it missing or stolen.
- Don't share your user id or password with anyone.
- DO NOT use public or unprotected WIFI to perform any banking transaction even checking a balance. Public connections such as hotels, restaurants are not very secure. Always use your phone or tablet's network.
- Always log out of mobile banking or your banking app when you are not using it.
- Delete text message with account information once you have read it.
If you have any questions about security features available on your phone, please contact your mobile carrier service. If you have a question concerning Crossroads Bank mobile banking or our banking apps call 1-800-947-8382.
