Online Banking (Browser)

🖥️ Scruffy’s Digital Journy — Computer Banking (Browser)

Hi, I’m Scruffy. Christopher explained that computer banking is like opening a big vault from your desk. At first, I thought you had to phone the bank for everything. But Christopher reminded me: with your browser, you can manage money calmly and securely.

🌀 Step‑by‑Step: Using Online Banking in a Browser

1. Open Your Browser

   • Type your bank’s official web address directly.

   • Look for the padlock symbol (HTTPS).

2. Sign In Securely

   • Enter your username and password.

   • Use two‑step verification (SMS, authenticator app, or security key).

     
     

3. Check Your Accounts

   • View balances, statements, and transactions.

     
     

4. Make Payments or Transfers

   • Use the Payments/Transfers section.

   • Enter recipient details carefully.

   • Confirm before submitting.

     
     

5. Log Out Properly

   • Always click Log Out.

   • Close the browser window.

   • 
     

🔐 Scruffy’s Safety Rituals (Computer)

• Never click banking links in emails — type the address yourself.

• Use secure Wi‑Fi at home.

• Keep your browser updated.

• Write down confirmation numbers in your notebook (never passwords).

✨ Scruffy’s Reflection   At first, I thought banking online was risky. But Christopher reminded me: with a secure browser and two‑step verification, it becomes calm and predictable.

📞 Scruffy’s Banking Safety Reminder

• If you get a suspicious call, text, or email pretending to be from your bank:

  • Hang up immediately

  • Dial 159 — this connects you directly to your bank’s fraud team

  • Never call back on the number given in the suspicious message
