How do I protect my checking account?
- Secure your checkbooks and avoid leaving blank checks anywhere.
- Keep your Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) to yourself to avoid other people from accessing your account and to protect yourself from identity theft.
- Other than your PIN, it is also relevant to keep your account numbers private. Do not give it out to strangers and to people you don’t trust.
- Check your monthly statements to identify errors that you or the bank may have incurred.
- Make sure that all you have written are correct before signing and issuing the check.
- Don’t write checks with insufficient funds. You may be charged for a fee or worst, you could even go to jail!
