How to keep my banking data safe online?

Whether shopping, banking or managing your inbox, here are some tips to keep you and your data safe in the digital space:

• Keep your N26 app and mobile OS updated with the latest bug fixes
• Use fingerprint scanning or facial recognition to log in
• Create strong passwords with letters, numbers and symbols - and never use the same one across multiple accounts
• Never post sensitive personal information online via social media platforms
• Be careful with public or shared WIFI connections - always choose secure WPA2 connections over WEP connections
• Choose email providers with security and spam filters and two-factor authentication like Gmail and Yahoo!
• Watch out for offers that are too good to be true - they probably are
• Shop only at trusted websites of well-known retailers
• Check that websites are secure - look for the lock by the URL and examine the credentials with a simple click
• Enable location tracking on your N26 app, so we can spot irregular transactions that may not have been made by you
