You can reduce your risk of fraud by taking a few simple precautions.
Only approve payments or mandates from organisations you trust.
Never share passwords or security codes with anyone.
Be cautious if you're pressured to make urgent payments.
Verify any request to change payment details directly with the organisation.
Avoid sending money to someone you've only met online.
Check your bank statements regularly for unfamiliar transactions.
If something feels unusual or unexpected, pause and verify before proceeding. Legitimate organisations will never pressure you to act immediately.
