Security tips

Keeping your PIN and Password secure

• Memorise your PIN/password - never write it down anywhere.
• Never disclose your PIN/password to any other person, including any additional cardholders, family members, bank staff or Police. Bank staff or Police will never ask for this information.
• Do not choose a PIN/password that is easily associated with you eg. your birth date, phone number or parts of your card number.
• Use a long random password that would be difficult for anyone else to guess.
• Don't let anyone else see your PIN when you enter it at an ATM or EFTPOS terminal. This is called "shoulder surfing" and is the most common form of PIN disclosure.
• Never respond to an email or phone call asking for your PIN or password.
