| ◎ | Risks of Internet Banking | ||
| While Internet Banking can bring you more convenience in terms of faster and easier access to your bank account(s), there are inherent risks that you need to be aware of. Due to the open nature of the Internet, web-based systems such as Internet Banking are inherently subject to risks such as those related to virus attacks, hacking, unauthorized access and fraudulent transactions. | |||
| While FCB has put in place the necessary security practices and measures to safeguard against these risks, in order to ensure the safety of Internet Banking transactions, you, as the end-user, also need to take necessary procedures to safeguard your account information. | |||
