Last updated July 23, 2024
ANB prioritizes the security of your digital banking accounts and provides robust measures to protect your financial information. This guide outlines key security practices and measures to ensure the safety of your online and mobile banking activities.
Protecting Your Digital Banking Accounts
Here are some essential steps to safeguard your digital banking accounts:
- Choose Strong Passwords: Create strong and unique passwords for your online banking accounts. A strong password should be at least 12 characters long and include a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using common words or personal information that can be easily guessed.
- Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Enable 2FA for an extra layer of security. This will require you to enter a verification code sent to your mobile phone or email in addition to your password when logging in or performing sensitive transactions.
- Be Aware of Phishing Attempts: Be cautious of suspicious emails or websites that appear to be from ANB but request your login credentials or personal information. Never click on links or open attachments from unknown sources. Always visit the official ANB website (www.anb.com.sa) directly to access your online banking account.
- Secure Your Devices: Use strong passwords or fingerprint recognition to protect your smartphone or computer. Keep your operating system and software applications updated to benefit from the latest security patches. Avoid accessing your online banking accounts from public Wi-Fi networks, as these connections may not be secure.
- Review Account Activity: Regularly review your account activity statements and look for any unusual transactions. Report any suspicious activity to ANB customer service immediately.
- Don't Share Personal Information: Never provide your username, password, or other personal information to anyone over the phone, email, or on social media.
- Use Secure Browsers: Use a reputable web browser that has strong security features. Check for "https" in the address bar, which indicates a secure connection.
- Beware of Malware: Protect your devices from malware by installing reputable antivirus software and keeping it updated. Be cautious about downloading files from unknown sources or clicking on suspicious links.
- Keep Software Updated: Ensure that your operating system and financial software are updated to the latest versions, as updates often include security patches to address vulnerabilities.
By following these security practices, you can protect your ANB digital banking accounts and maintain the confidentiality of your financial information. If you have any questions or concerns regarding security, contact ANB customer service for assistance.
