To complement the security features, systems, and best practices implemented by EqB, we encourage you to adopt the following security guidelines in our joint responsibility to offer the most protection for your banking transactions.

1. Internet Products and Services

   1. Secure Login ID and Password or PIN

      • Do not disclose Login ID and Password or PIN
      • Do not store Login ID and Password or PIN on the computer.
      • Regularly change password or PIN and avoid using easy-to-guess passwords such as names or birthdays. Password should be a combination of characters (uppercase and lowercase) and numbers and should be at least 6 digits in length.

   2. Keep personal information private.

      • Do not disclose personal information such as address, mother’s maiden name, telephone number, social security number, bank account number or e-mail address — unless the one collecting the information is reliable and trustworthy.

   3. Keep records of online transactions.

      • Regularly check transaction history details and statements to make sure that there are no unauthorized transactions.
      • Review and reconcile monthly credit card and bank statements for any errors or unauthorized transactions promptly and thoroughly.
      • Check e-mail for contacts by merchants with whom one is doing business. Merchants may send important information about transaction histories. Immediately notify the bank if there are unauthorized entries or transactions in the account.

   4. Check for the right and secure website.

      • Before doing any online transactions or sending personal information, make sure that correct website has been accessed. Beware of bogus or “look alike” websites which are designed to deceive consumers.
      • Check if the website is “secure” by checking the Universal Resource Locators (URLs) which should begin with “https” and a closed padlock icon on the status bar in the browser is displayed. To confirm authenticity of the site, double-click on the lock icon to display security certificate information of the site.
      • Always enter the URL of the website directly into the web browser.
      • Avoid being re-directed to the website, or hyperlink to it from a website that may not be as secure.
      • If possible, use software that encrypts or scrambles the information when sending sensitive information or performing e-banking transactions online.

   5. Protect personal computer from hackers, viruses and malicious programs.

      • Install a personal firewall and a reputable anti-virus program to protect personal computer from virus attacks or malicious programs.
      • Ensure that the anti-virus program is updated and runs at all times.
      • Always keep the operating system and the web browser updated with the latest security patches, in order to protect against weaknesses or vulnerabilities.
      • Always check with an updated anti-virus program when downloading a program or opening an attachment to ensure that it does not contain any virus.
      • Install updated scanner software to detect and eliminate malicious programs capable of capturing personal or financial information online.
      • Never download any file or software from sites or sources, which are not familiar or hyperlinks sent by strangers. Opening such files could expose the system to a computer virus that could hijack personal information, including password or PIN.

   6. Do not leave computer unattended when logged-in.

      • Log-off from the internet banking site when computer is unattended, even if it is for a short while.
      • Always remember to log-off when e-banking transactions have been completed.
      • Clear the memory cache and transaction history after logging out from the website to remove account information. This would avoid incidents of the stored information being retrieved by unwanted parties.

   7. Check the site’s privacy policy and disclosures.

      • Read and understand website disclosures specifically on refund, shipping, account debit/credit policies and other bank terms and conditions.
      • Before providing any personal financial information to a website, determine how the information will be used or shared with others.
      • Check the site’s statements about the security provided for the information divulged.
      • Some websites’ disclosures are easier to find than others — look at the bottom of the home page, on order forms or in the “About” or “FAQs” section of a site. If the customer is not comfortable with the policy, consider doing business elsewhere.

   8. Other internet security measures:

      • Do not send any personal information particularly password or PIN via ordinary e-mail.
      • Do no open other browser windows while banking online.
      • Avoid using shared or public personal computers in conducting ebanking transactions.
      • Disable the “file and printer sharing” feature on the operating system if conducting banking transactions online.
      • Contact the banking institution to discuss security concerns and remedies to any online e-banking account issues.

2. Other Electronic Products

   1. Automated Teller Machine (ATM) and debit cards

      • Use ATMs that are familiar or that are in well-lit locations where one feels comfortable. If the machine is poorly lit or is in a hidden area, use another ATM.
      • Have card ready before approaching the ATM. Avoid having to go through the wallet or purse to find the card.
      • Do not use ATMs that appear to have been tampered with or otherwise altered. Report such condition to the bank.
      • Memorize ATM personal identification number (PIN) and never disclose it with anyone. Do not keep those numbers or passwords in the wallet or purse. Never write them on the cards themselves. And avoid using easily available personal information like a birthday, nickname, mother’s maiden name or consecutive numbers.
      • Be mindful of “shoulder surfers” when using ATMs. Stand close to the ATM and shield the keypad with hand when keying in the PIN and transaction amount.
      • If the ATM is not working correctly, cancel the transaction and use a different ATM. If possible, report the problem to the bank.
      • Carefully secure card and cash in the wallet, handbag, or pocket before leaving the ATM.
      • Do not leave the receipt behind. Compare ATM receipts to monthly statement. It is the best way to guard against fraud and it makes record-keeping easier.
      • Do not let other people use your card. If card is lost or stolen, report the incident immediately to the bank.

   2. Credit cards

      • Never disclose credit card information to anyone. The fraudulent use of credit cards is not limited to the loss or theft of actual credit cards. A capable criminal only needs to know the credit card number to fraudulently make numerous charges against the account.
      • Endorse or sign all credit cards as soon as they are received from the bank.
      • Like ATM card PINs, secure credit card PINs. Do not keep those numbers or passwords in the wallet or purse and never write them on the cards themselves.
      • Photocopy both the front and back of all credit cards and keep the copies in a safe and secure location. This will facilitate in the immediate cancellation of the card if lost or stolen.
      • Carry only the minimum number of credit cards actually needed and never leave them unattended.
      • Never allow credit card to use as reference (credit card number) or as an identification card.
      • Never give your credit card account number over the telephone unless dealing with a reputable company or institution.
      • When using credit cards, keep a constant eye on the card and the one handling it. Be aware of the “swipe and theft” scam using card skimmers. A skimmer is a machine that records the information from the magnetic stripe on a credit card to be downloaded onto a personal computer later. The card can be swiped on a skimmer by a dishonest person and that data can then be used to make duplicate copies of the credit card.
      • Do not leave documents like bills, bank and credit card statements in an unsecure place since these documents have direct access to credit card and/or deposit account information. Consider shredding sensitive documents rather than simply throwing them away. (Some people will go through the garbage to find this information).
      • Notify the bank in advance of a change in address.
      • Open billing statements promptly and reconcile card amounts each month.
      • Do not let other people use your card. If card is lost or stolen, report the incident immediately to the bank.

   3. Mobile Banking

      • Do not disclose your Mobile Banking Pin (MPIN) to anyone.
      • Regularly change the MPIN.
      • Do not let other people use your mobile phone enrolled in a mobile banking service. If the phone is lost or stolen, report the incident immediately to the bank.
      • Be vigilant. Refrain from doing mobile banking transactions in a place where you observe the presence of “shoulder surfers.”
      • Keep a copy of the transaction reference number provided by the Bank whenever you perform a mobile banking transaction as evidence that the specific transaction was actually executed.

Disclaimer: These security tips are mere suggestions to Clients and in no way constitute any representation that adherence thereto will prevent any breach of Client’s confidential information.

Owning at least one credit card is becoming essential in today’s lifestyle as it allows consumers to enjoy perks and deals that come with their use and provides emergency tool when an unexpected expense comes along.

Credit cards, or plastics, are also helpful in financial management because it allows individuals to keep track of their expenses. However, some cardholders are still unaware on how to best manage and pay down their debts, resulting in serious default on their cards.

Recently, the Credit Card Association of the Philippines (CCAP) gave pragmatic advice on how one should use their cards responsibly.

Clik here to view.

“Maintain your credit card in good standing by paying the total outstanding balance – or at the very least, the minimum amount due – on or before the due date,” said Alex Ilagan, Executive Director and Spokesperson for the CCAP.

Ilagan clarified that finance charges are only imposed when balances are not settled in full on due dates, thus underscoring the importance of checking statements of account for transaction details and due dates.

“Always pay your bills on time to avoid penalties. Remember, you will not be charged of any interest if you settle your balance in full on or before your due date. When paying by check or through any ATM, you also have to take into consideration the three-day clearing window,” Ilagan further noted.

If the cardholder ran up a total bill of R1,000 during the month but decides to pay only R999, the cardholder could be charged interest on the whole R1,000 because of the R1 deficit.

CCAP also would like to offer this simple mantra for the rest of the year: “Charge your credit card with things that you can afford and eventually pay for.” Ilagan also added, “Remember that making a list in advance and setting a budget will save you from payment worries.”

In settling card bills and to avoid incurring any late payment charges, Ilagan also suggests to pay direct debit from the cardholder’s bank account. In this way, consumers are assured that bills payment will be facilitated in a timely manner.

Ilagan also reminds cardholders to spend within their credit limit to avoid additional charges.

FRAUD

Along with responsible credit card management, the CCAP also urged the public to be vigilant against unscrupulous individuals or emails that inquire about sensitive information regarding the cardholder.

Ilagan explains banks will never ask for sensitive information such as your complete credit card number through emails, phone calls or text message, unless the cardholder is the one contacting the bank.

For this reason, CCAP outlined several warning signs cardholders should look for, in identifying whether someone is attempting to takeover their account.

By knowing the red-flags, cardholders can avoid becoming victims, Ilagan said.

While account takeover fraud is most common in financial institutions, there are also reported cases whereas this type of fraudulent act has happened in accounts used to purchase goods and services, or store and access classified data.

According to Ilagan account takeover fraud comes in various forms of identity theft.

“Account takeover fraud is when a fraudster obtains an individual’s personal information through various means. Using this information, the fraudster will pose as the cardholder and make fraudulent transactions,” Ilagan said.

To obtain sensitive information of the cardholder, the fraudster may call and pretend to be a bank employee and offer you a card upgrade, lifetime annual fee waiver or credit limit increase in exchange for your active card. Once the unsuspecting cardholder agrees, the fraudsters will send a messenger to pick up the card from the former’s address – then use the card afterwards.

Syndicates may also use spoof websites and email addresses that appear to be from trustworthy sources. Once a cardholder inputs his details into hoax websites, the sensitive information would then be used.

“They will try to trick you into providing your personal information such as passwords, your address, and credit card information. Commonly spoofed companies include well-known international financial institutions,” Ilagan said.

But what does a phishing email look like? According to CCAP, for the most part false emails have spelling and grammatical errors, sensationalized subjects as well as web links spelled out, and not as a hyperlink.

Phishing emails also routinely contain supposed threats that the cardholder’s account will be cancelled or closed if they do not respond with the confidential information being asked for, and at times have attachments ending in “.exe.” Always be wary of file attachments in emails, as they could potentially compromise the security of your computer.

Spoofed websites, on the other hand, are unsecure website addresses that do not have a lock logo is in the browser’s status bar—which indicates whether or not the site’s identity has been verified. At times the bank’s URL is also incorrect or slightly different from the official website.

“Be careful of emails and websites asking for confidential information such as passwords even if it is threatening to disable your account should you not provide certain information. Be sure to call your bank to confirm the authenticity of the request,” Ilagan said.

Likewise, the CCAP official said cardholders should be aware of the bank’s website privacy policy and never submit confidential information through forms embedded in email messages.

“It would be best to open a new browser window and type the URL directly. Be sure to check the address bar to make sure you are on the right website. For additional security, cardholders may download anti-phishing software from established anti-virus providers to block fake websites,” Ilagan said.

Should any cardholder receive calls or emails regarding the above stated matter, CCAP urges the public to verify first with their banks and check the authenticity of the offer.
