Online banking is nice and convenient. But it does come with certain risks. Just as you hear of people being robbed at ATMs, or having their cards cloned, so online accounts are also a point of vulnerability.

Follow these 8 tips and you can minimise the risks to your finances and bank safely online:

• Choose an account with two factor authentication
• Create a strong password.
• Avoid clicking through unknown emails.
• Access your accounts from a secure location.
• Always log out when you are done.
• Set up account notifications (if available).
• Monitor your accounts regularly.
