1. Lock your phone: Locking your phone makes it difficult for thieves to access your banking app.

2 Lock your sim card: If your phone is locked, a thief can remove the sim card and put it in another phone, using ussd to steal your money. If you lock your sim card, it becomes useless to thieves.

3. Stop putting your ATM card at the back cover of your phone. That's double tragedy if your phone lands in the hand of a thief.

4. Block your bank account when at risk: If your phone is missing, or you start getting debit alerts because of theft, block your account. You can borrow your neighbour's phone and use ussd to block your bank account no.

5. Stop sharing your ATM card/banking pin with others.

Even with all these, Nigerian hackers will still break in your account and get the money, because our banking system is too poros and weak.
Best thing to do, after applying all the op recommend, is limit the amount you can transfer at a time with your bank app to the minimum, use your ATM for larger transfers and try not to lose your phone.

Just lock ur sim card by creating a pin for it and Incase of lost of phone, just dial *966*911# on anybody's phone. Automatically your account would be on PND and as such no baga can debit ur account until you visit ur bank for lift.

My new year resolution was “no more alcohol”

Today is the 19th day of the year, I don drink almost 6 dozens of beer so far. We try again in 2025.

WTF.

A bank is a place that'll lend you money as long as you can prove you don't need it. As depressing as that may sound, if you think no one cares if you're alive try missing one payment in a loan app! grin
