Keeping Your Transactions Secure
As you embark on this online bill payment journey, we want to remind you to keep your financial details safe. Here are some safety tips:
Guard your login credentials: Make your 6-digit PIN strong, and do not share them with anyone. Avoid using your birthday, NRIC number, phone number or anything predictable.
Authenticate Websites and Apps: Always double-check if you are on the official website or app of your bank or eWallet provider. Spot that padlock icon in your browser's address bar and verify the website's domain spelling.
