Online Banking Security

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).
