Managing your account effectively and maintaining its security is a shared responsibility between you and StatedBankERS. Here are detailed guidelines to help ensure your account remains secure and your banking experience is smooth:

• Password Security: Use a strong, unique password for your account that includes a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using easily guessable information such as birthdays or common words. Change your password regularly and do not share it with anyone.
• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): We strongly recommend enabling two-factor authentication for an added layer of security. 2FA requires a second form of identification, such as a code sent to your mobile phone, in addition to your password when logging in.
• Secure Devices: Ensure that the devices you use to access your account are secure. Install and update antivirus software, use a firewall, and keep your operating system and applications up to date to protect against vulnerabilities.
• Monitor Account Activity: Regularly review your account statements and transaction history to ensure all activity is authorized. Report any suspicious or unauthorized transactions to StatedBankERS immediately.
• Logout After Use: Always log out of your account when you have finished your session, especially when using a shared or public computer. This helps prevent unauthorized access to your account.
• Personal Information Protection: Be cautious about sharing personal information online. StatedBankERS will never ask for your password, PIN, or other sensitive information via email or phone. If you receive a suspicious request, contact us directly to verify its authenticity.
