These are the ways following which you can do online banking safely.

Therefore, it becomes important for you to use extra strong security passwords. Your password must include combination of alphabets and letters. Also, you write down your password in a secure place, so that it’s not accessible to anyone easily. Experts advise not to share your account data on web or social networking site with unknown people. You are also advised not to use internet cafes for performing online transactions or internet banking. There is a greater chance of potential data theft at these places.

Similarly, there must be various emails appearing on your email ids on regular basis promising attractive deals, which seem impossible at the first look. You must not click on any link and enter your security details. On closer look, you will find these unsolicited mails carrying various spelling mistakes too.
