Four digit number for security is not adequate and the banks know it. They should make at least six digits or better create a place for mixing digits with letters of the alphabet. For now they shouldn't talk about security, we are only enjoying some goodwill from criminals.

Few months into my job, I have realised that people still use their date of birth, 1234, 1111, 0000 and other easy-to-guess numbers as their security passwords for their ATM pin and mobile applications... Its totally bad. As a security expert, I advise people to desist from this habit in order to ensure that your money is safe. Most of the time, I feel angry when I hear a customer complaining that his or her money has been wiped away by fraudsters and when I simply ask them what sort of password they used to secure their ATM card or mobile app, you get the shocker of your life.


What you should do...

1. When trying to choose a password for your bank account, let it be something that can't be guessed. This is the first step in choosing a strong pin. Numbers like date of birth, 1234, 1111, 55555, 1975, 0000 is a total NO!

2. Never you allow anyone be so close to you when trying to withdraw at the ATM . based on experience, most Nigerians don't know how to conduct themselves when queuing up at the ATM. They will choose to gum themselves like sardines when trying to withdraw. In this note, anyone can spy on your pin, trail you and steal your ATM card... It happens.. Don't fall a victim. Please always ensure that no one is so closely behind you when using the ATM for security reasons.



3. Change your ATM pin and other login pins to your bank accounts frequently..

Oh yes. I say this all the time during my encounter with bank customers. Try to change your ATM pin once in every 3months or 6months as the case may be. Why should you do this? I will give you a story.

I used to work for a wicked boss years back and it happened that he sent me to withdraw for him occasionally, that means I know his ATM pin. If I were a wicked person, I could conive with his new employees to get his atm card number and Security number, voila!!! I am a rich man!!

In the light of this, I encourage all of us to adopt this habit of changing our security pins quarterly.


4. Trust no one


That she or he is your brother or your son or your nephew doesn't mean you should be relaxed and reveal these sensitive information to them. The bible says that the heart of man is wicked and also says that brother shall rise against brother. Be warned.

Forget all these jargons. These rules are for the 18th century.

The security of your money is your banks responsibility.

1. If someone lay hold of your atm card, your pin don't count.

2. If someone gets details of your card, you're in trouble.

3. If someone get hold of your phone, you're finished.

4. If someone has your phone and atm card at the same time for more than 5 minutes, you're totally finished.

My advice if you have money.

1. Set a limit to the amount you can withdraw with your card.

2. Disable your card from online purchase if you don't use the service.

3. Have a strong code for your phone and a 3rd party authentication for your mails.

4. Don't keep money for long in your current account. Don't apply for a card to your savings account.

5. Have your bankers details off the the sleeve. Be acquainted on how to stop a check, cancel or stop a transaction, in less than a minute.

6. Get a good phone. Use a good bank. Be smart.

Op you forgot to add those tht give their card details to unknown sitea...

Hmmm d day way some of those sites go claim say their sites have been hacked and database stolen
The site has nothing to do with your card. The site will redirect you to another payment channel like webpay or any other payment channel and you Input your details there. It's 100% secured
