Scams worth knowing

Phishing emails and texts

Messages that look like they are from EqualBank, asking for your details or password. We will never ask for your password by email.

Calls that push

Someone claiming to be from us, pressing you to share details or send money. Hang up and call us back on our real number.

Identity theft

Your stolen details used to open accounts or buy things in your name. Check your credit report often.

Card skimming

Hidden devices on cash machines and card readers that copy your card. Give the reader a quick check and cover your PIN.

Software that snoops

Programs that record what you type or steal your logins. Keep your devices updated and use trusted antivirus tools.

Offers too good to be true

Promises of returns that cannot be real. If it sounds too good, check with us first.

Small habits, real protection

Use strong, separate passwords

Aim for 12 characters or more, and never reuse the same one across sites.

Switch on two-step checks

An extra check adds a wall between you and anyone trying to get in.

Look in often

Glance at your accounts regularly and turn on instant alerts for every transaction.

Skip public Wi-Fi

Never log into your account on public Wi-Fi. Use your phone data or a VPN instead.

Keep everything updated

Update your device, browser and app regularly to get the latest safety fixes.
