Mobile banking app security
In Turkish: Mobil bankacılık uygulaması güvenliği
Using your bank's official app safely: a strong screen lock, device updates, notifications on, and never giving codes to anyone.
The official app is usually the safest way to bank, because it is tied to your phone and can ask for your fingerprint, face or PIN. Get it only from the official store, and open it yourself instead of through links in messages.
What weakens it is the phone: no screen lock, old software, a remote-control app installed at a caller's request, or approvals given on a login you did not start. If the app asks you to approve something you did not do, say no.
What to do
- Keep the phone updated and locked, and use the app's own fingerprint or PIN.
- Do not approve a login or transfer prompt you did not start.
- Never install remote-control apps while on the phone with "the bank".
