Download verified apps only <\/h3>\n<p>Start at your bank\u2019s website and follow its link to the App Store or Google Play. Confirm the developer name and read reviews before downloading. Never download banking apps from open forums or third-party websites. <\/p>\n<p>\u2192 Compare banks with the best mobile apps.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Turn on multi-factor authentication<\/h3>\n<p>Two-step verification adds another wall between your account and hackers. It requires you to prove your identity with at least two pieces of information \u2014 typically a password plus a confirmation code sent to your phone. <\/p>\n<p>Even if your password is stolen, your phone verification code keeps thieves out. <\/p>\n<p>Learn how multi-factor authentication works.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Use strong, unique passwords <\/h3>\n<p>Mix upper- and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols \u2014 and never reuse passwords across accounts. Do not save your passwords in your browser \u2014 instead, use a reputable password manager. <\/p>\n<h3>4. Avoid public Wi-Fi<\/h3>\n<p>Free networks are easy for hackers to monitor. When in doubt, use your mobile data or a trusted home network.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Spot phishing and \u201csmishing\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Phishing emails often look legitimate, as if they are really from your bank. But they are designed to trick you into revealing personal information or downloading malware.  Smishing uses the same tactics via text messages.<\/p>\n<p>Read our advice on how to protect your bank account from hackers. <\/p>\n<h3>6. Set up account alerts <\/h3>\n<p>A quick notification from your bank about transactions on your account can help you detect potential fraudulent activity. Most banks offer customizable alerts via email, text or their app. <\/p>\n<p>Time matters with fraud \u2014 the faster you catch it, the better protected you are under Regulation E, which limits your liability if you report unauthorized transactions within two business days. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-banks-protect-customers\" data-position=\"4\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-4-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"How banks protect your accounts\" data-outcome=\"\">How banks protect your accounts <\/h2>\n<p>Banks and credit unions spend billions each year defending against cyber threats \u2014 and they\u2019re financially on the hook for most unauthorized transactions.<\/p>\n<p>Under Regulation E, your liability for electronic fraud is limited to $50 if reported within two business days, and up to $500 afterward.
