In many of my previous articles, I have talked about how you can carry out a proper online transaction with your card and other payment alternatives. In this article, I want to tell you some of the major online transaction checklists that you need to consider when it comes to making transactions online. Follow me as we are going to look at that in this article.
Here are some of the checklists…
- Never respond to unsolicited email offers or respond to information.
- Use browser filters that warn about reported phishing sites and block access to the address
- Register for the bank mobile SMS alert service to get an alert whenever there is any transaction on your account.
- Protect yourself from identity theft
- Always check the address bar for the correct URL
- Always check the website certificate, SSL padlock, and https.
- Regularly update your operating system and other installed applications
- Ensure that you have the latest browser installed on your system
- Ensure that you are connected to a secured network when using a wireless network.
- Regularly scan your system for viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, key loggers, and other malware using updated anti-virus software.
- Use strong passwords for all online transactions and keep them changing at regular intervals.
- Use a virtual keyboard to enter sensitive information.
- Do not perform online transactions from public systems.
- Always completely log off after performing an online transaction.
