Bank safely online. Stay vigilant.

With the two biggest online shopping days - Black Friday and Cyber Monday - fast approaching, online-shopping security should be top of mind. Here are some tips to help you shop online safely:

• Never share your Nedbank ID username and password or card PIN with anyone over the phone, or enter it on a webpage you accessed through a link in an email or SMS.
• Be cautious of offers that sound too good to be true and type in web addresses yourself, rather than clicking on links in messages.
• Be cautious of new or unknown online retailers, especially if they offer goods at unrealistic discounts. If you are making a first-time purchase, do some research and check online reviews.
• Be careful of doing online shopping on public Wi-Fi or unsecured networks - fraudsters may be able to hack them.
• Always read your Approve-it messages carefully, decline the transaction if you didn't make it and remember to report the incident to Nedbank immediately on 0800 110 929.

By selecting I acknowledge, you confirm that you have read and understood this fraud prevention message. If you do not follow these precautions or if there is negligence on your part, your money may be lost permanently.
