Online or mobile banking is a process by which you can access your bank account via your computer’s browser, or a mobile app on your smartphone. You may check your balance, transfer money, and much more—all without having to go to a physical branch.
To keep your mobile bank account secure, you’ll need to follow a few simple guidelines. This includes locking your smartphone screen with a PIN code and regularly updating its software. Also, make sure to use only password-protected WiFi connections, deactivate your Bluetooth when possible, and only download apps from official app stores. Last, but certainly not least, vet finance providers thoroughly before using their services and make sure to choose a secure bank.
N26 is a fully licensed bank and employs a number of security measures to protect your account. These include 3D Secure by Mastercard for online payments, 2-factor authentication for logins, as well as adjustable, in-app security settings.
