National Safety Month

Cybersecurity Tips for Safer Online Banking 

June is National Safety Month, and it’s a good reminder that staying safe isn’t just about the physical world. Online safety matters just as much—especially when it comes to your finances. 

At Primis, we’re focused on helping you protect what matters most. Online fraud continues to rise, but there are simple steps you can take to stay ahead. 

Here are five habits worth building. 

1. Strengthen Your Passwords 

Start with the basics: use longer, more complex passwords that mix letters, numbers and symbols. Skip anything personal or easy to guess. 

Consider using a password manager to keep track of everything securely. It makes life easier—and safer. 

2. Add Two-Factor Authentication 

This one’s easy to set up and offers a big boost in protection. Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second layer of security to your accounts, usually a code sent to your phone or email. 

It’s one of the most effective ways to block unauthorized access. 

3. Stay Alert for Scams 

Phishing emails and scam texts are getting harder to spot. They often look legit and may ask you to click a link, confirm your login or share private info. 

Don’t take the bait. If something feels off, close the message and contact the company directly—especially when it comes to your bank accounts. 

4. Keep Software Updated 

Running updates might feel like a chore, but they’re there for a reason. Updates patch security flaws that hackers love to exploit. 

Turn on automatic updates where you can. It’s one of the simplest ways to protect your devices. 

5. Check Your Accounts Often 

Set aside time each week to review your account activity. Even a quick glance can help you spot transactions you don’t recognize. 

The sooner you catch something, the faster we can step in to help.
