Free Wi-Fi is convenient. Giving scammers a shot at your financial information? Not so much.
Whether you’re at a coffee shop, airport, hotel, or anywhere else using public Wi-Fi, think twice before logging into your banking accounts.
A few simple habits can help keep your information safer:
• Avoid accessing online or mobile banking over public Wi-Fi
• Use your cellular/mobile data when possible
• If it can wait, handle sensitive transactions on a trusted network
• If you do access an account, make sure you’re completely logged out when you’re finished.
A little caution can go a long way in protecting your money and personal information.
Stay connected. Stay alert. Stay secure.
