Use the tips below to help reduce fraud risk and spot issues early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-1-create-strong-unique-passwords-and-update-them-regularly\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Create strong, unique passwords and update them regularly<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strong passwords make it harder for criminals to guess or reuse stolen credentials from other sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Go long:<\/strong> Use 12+ characters when possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use a passphrase:<\/strong> Combine unrelated words with numbers\/symbols (for example: <em>River!Lamp7Cloud#Market<\/em>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make it unique:<\/strong> Don\u2019t reuse passwords from email, shopping, or social media.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Update when it matters:<\/strong> Change your password if you suspect it was exposed or if you\u2019ve reused it anywhere else.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consider a password manager:<\/strong> It can generate and store strong, unique passwords.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-2-never-share-usernames-passwords-or-other-login-credentials\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Never share usernames, passwords, or other login credentials<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No legitimate bank representative will ask for your password, PIN, or one-time verification code. Sharing those details can give someone direct access to your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Common scam tactics include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Urgent messages claiming that unauthorized transactions will be debited from your account or that your account will be locked unless you \u201cverify\u201d your information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Links that send you to a look-alike login page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Requests for verification codes \u201cto confirm your identity\u201d, prevent unauthorized transactions, or restore access to your online banking account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Safer habits:<\/strong> Don\u2019t click on unexpected links. Instead, open the Amerant app or type the website address yourself. If you\u2019re unsure whether a request is real, contact Amerant using the official contact options in the app or website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-3-enable-biometrics-for-secure-logins\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Enable biometrics for secure logins<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fingerprint or facial recognition can make it harder for someone else to access your account, especially if your phone is lost or stolen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Turn on Face ID\/Touch ID (or your device\u2019s equivalent) and set a strong device passcode.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enable biometrics for the Amerant mobile app if your settings allow it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t share your device passcode or let others add their biometric profile to your device.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-4-avoid-using-public-wi-fi-networks-for-banking-activity\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks for banking activity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Public Wi-Fi networks (such as those in airports, hotels, or coffee shops) may be unsecured or spoofed, making it easier for criminals to intercept your information or redirect you to fake sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>When banking on-the-go:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use your cellular connection or a personal hot spot when possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid logging in on shared\/public computers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always sign out when you\u2019re done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-5-set-up-your-alerts-and-notifications\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Set up your alerts and notifications<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alerts help you catch suspicious activity faster so you can respond sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Helpful alerts to consider include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Login alerts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Large or unusual transaction alerts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transfers, bill payments, or new payee alerts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Profile changes (email, phone number, address)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Review your alert settings periodically so they match how you use your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-6-protect-your-devices-with-security-software\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Protect your devices with security software<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your security is only as strong as the device you bank on. Basic device hygiene goes a long way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Keep systems updated:<\/strong> Install operating system and app updates promptly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use reputable security tools:<\/strong> Use antivirus\/anti-malware on computers and built-in mobile protections on phones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lock your screen:<\/strong> Use a strong passcode plus biometrics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Download apps safely:<\/strong> Use official app stores and avoid \u201ctoo-good-to-be-true\u201d downloads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Remove what you don\u2019t use:<\/strong> Delete unused apps and browser extensions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-banking-with-amerant\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Banking with Amerant<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Online banking safety comes down to a few consistent habits: strong passwords, never sharing credentials, using biometrics, avoiding public Wi-Fi, turning on alerts, and keeping devices protected and up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you notice suspicious activity or think you\u2019ve been targeted by a scam, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amerantbank.com\/contact-us\/#tab-0-tabcontent\">contact Amerant Bank through our toll-free number<\/a> or by using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amerantbank.com\/products\/personal\/digital-services\/mobile-banking\/\">Amerant Mobile app<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Online banking is convenient, but it also means protecting your login, devices, and connections.
