Welcome to the safe digital banking center. Protecting customers' personal and financial data is a priority for Byblos Bank Armenia. From transfers and payments to online shopping, safe banking means being informed, being vigilant, and using trusted tools to stay protected at every step. Below are practical tips, real-life examples, and simple steps to help ensure the protection of your personal and financial data at all times.
Principles of Digital Security
- Create reliable, unique passwords for online and mobile banking and avoid using the same password across different platforms.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA), especially for the email address associated with your bank accounts.
- Use trusted antivirus programs and only official mobile applications.
- Regularly update your devices' operating systems, applications, and browsers.
- When conducting financial transactions via online/mobile banking, avoid connecting to public Wi-Fi networks.
Remember: The bank will never ask for your password, card PIN, card number, or one-time codes (OTPs) received via SMS or email. If you receive such a request, report it to us immediately.
How to Protect Against Phishing
Phishing is a type of online fraud where cybercriminals impersonate bank employees or other trusted organizations to trick you into providing personal and financial information.
- Unexpected emails or messages claiming to be about accounts or requiring immediate action on other issues.
- Links that differ from the bank's official domain.
- Requests for your card PIN, passwords, or OTPs.
- Fake calls claiming to be from the bank or law enforcement demanding confidential information.
Safe Online and Mobile Banking
Download mobile applications only from official platforms (e.g., App Store, Play Store). Always update your browser, as the latest versions provide better protection against viruses and can detect fake websites.
