Thanks to the advancement in the world of communication, banking has become easier than ever. All the major banks in the world have introduced mobile banking, which ensures a hassle-free experience every time you want to glance at your monthly statements. Internet banking, UPI, mobile banking and others have definitely made life easier for us. But people who are not yet fully confident in modern cybersecurity are still skeptical about taking the plunge.

As you might expect, hackers have been busy breaking into the cyber vaults of all the major banks, often resorting to cunning phishing attacks to obtain sensitive information from users. Fortunately, if you know where to click and learn to spot malicious sites, online banking on Android won’t feel like rocket science. In this section, we’ll try to teach you all the basics of identifying dodgy sites and help you bank safely on your Android device.

As mentioned earlier, hackers and scammers use phishing to obtain sensitive information from users. They usually send emails that look authentic, lure users into following the attached link; create websites that are almost identical to the original, ask users to enter their login details, and finally save the data in a form.

The first logical step would be to not click on any emails that appear to be 'phishy' and only use online banking directly through your bank's registered, official website.
