Digital Banking Tips
Imagine this…you’re at your child’s soccer game when you realize that you haven’t paid the cable bill. You have that fleeting moment of panic thinking about the late fees that could come your way. That is where your digital banking comes in to be the hero. With a few taps on your phone, you’ve paid the cable bill and are back to watching soccer just as the team scores the winning goal.
Digital banking encompasses mobile and online banking, plus all the tools that come with them. In today’s world, it is hard to imagine not having your financial information readily available. From viewing accounts to setting up transfers, digital banking has many uses.

While these features are all available within digital banking, it’s important for customers to understand how to safely do your banking online.
Here are a few tips when using digital banking to help keep your account safe:
Avoid Using Public Wifi
Public WiFi gives hackers easier access to your computer or phone. Instead, utilize WiFi networks that are password protected. This makes it more difficult for criminals to get your information.
Create Strong Passwords
We all have dozens of passwords for all kinds of accounts. It’s easy to want to use the same password across multiple accounts, however, this should be avoided. Choose a strong, unique password for your digital banking. Pennian requires a certain number of characters with a mixture of letters, numbers, and special symbols.
Monitor Your Accounts
The best way to be aware of what’s happening in your bank account is by monitoring it regularly. With mobile banking, it’s easy to log in and check your account on the go. Look for anything that seems out of place. If you suspect fraud on your account, call the Bank immediately.
Following these tips will help you keep your account safe from cyber criminals!
