How can I keep my mobile wallet secure?
Take these steps to help keep your mobile wallet secure:
- Update your mobile device software regularly. This strengthens security, removes bugs, and improves how it functions
- Lock your mobile device with a strong password when you’re not using it. If your mobile device gets lost or stolen, this makes it more difficult for someone to access your information
- Keep an eye on your devices. Never leave your mobile device unattended in public. If your phone is lost or stolen, contact your mobile wallet provider to have your cards removed from your account
- Download your mobile wallet from a trusted website or app store to avoid scams
