Do's for Online banking

Do ensure that the online bank you're doing business with is covered by the competent authority who insures all savings accounts,current/checking accounts, and CD deposits up to a limit..
2
Do ensure that when you go to the online bank's website that you're on the real website. Believe it or not, Internet criminals have designed websites that appear to be similar to the banks website in hopes of tricking you into getting your personal information. You can confirm the genuineness by finding "a Lock" icon before your site address and also "https" as the first letters of your site instead of "http".

Do look over all your bank statements, credit card statements, etc., to be sure everything looks right and is legit. Talk to your bank immediately if you find any errors or see something that is questionable.
