How to protect yourself

Fraud can come in many forms but there are simple steps you can take to protect yourself.

  • Keep your contact details up to date so we can let you know if we notice any suspicious transactions on your accounts
  • Don’t volunteer personal information that isn’t necessary
  • Destroy your personal information, don’t just throw it away – opportunistic criminals have no qualms about going through your rubbish
  • If you’ve lost your card, think it may have been stolen or think someone may have discovered your PIN, report it immediately
  • Never give your card details to someone over the phone unless you initiated the call and you know the company is reputable
  • Don’t disclose your card PIN to anyone – that includes family members, police or bank staff
  • Never send money overseas to people you don’t know
  • Keep your home computer virus protection software up to date
  • Be aware that "free trials" can lead to subscriptions
  • Check your account, be mindful of unfamiliar transactions, even if they're smaller amounts
