- You should only access your Mashreq Bank online account website by
either typing it in carefully (and double-checking - many fake sites
rely on incorrectly typed URLs), or from a stored favorite on your
own personal computer (not a public computer).
- If you do not see https (not http) at the beginning of the URL AND
the padlock icon in the browser, there is a security problem.
Don't
enter
your
username
or password. Contact the bank (this applies to your online account,
not to information pages).
- Never reply to an email claiming to be from a bank that asks for
your username and/or password.
- Never click on a link in an email asking for any username or password
information.
- Be careful clicking on a bank link as the result of an internet search
(there are many fake and scam sites phishing for your online login
details).
- The external link for Mashreq Bank below takes
you to the Mashreq Bank home page and is there for information purposes
only. It should not be used for online account login. You should obtain
the correct link from official MashreqBank
information.
