Account Security Principles

Protecting your mobile money account is of utmost importance, and it starts with keeping your secret code and personal information confidential. Never share your secret code, or any other personal details with anyone. Ensure that your secret code is strong and unique, avoiding easily guessable information like your year of birth or consecutive numbers. Remember, a strong secret code acts as a crucial barrier against unauthorised access to your account.

Additionally, the safety of your mobile device is also of great importance. Always keep your device locked using a passcode to prevent unauthorised use. This action establishes an additional layer of security for your account, further enhancing protection.

Adopting strict security measures for both your account and mobile device guarantees a safe and seamless mobile money experience.

Stay vigilant against scammers, as criminals may attempt to trick you into revealing sensitive information. It is important to be aware of common scamming techniques and take necessary precautions to protect your mobile money account.

1. First and foremost, remember that the service providers will never ask for your secret code or any other personal details via phone calls, sms, or email. If you receive any communication requesting such information, treat it as suspicious and refrain from responding or providing any data.

2. Be cautious of calls, messages, or emails that seem unusual or unexpected. Scammers often employ tactics such as urgency, false promises, and lies to manipulate unsuspecting individuals. They may use sophisticated methods to make their communications appear genuine, such as pretending to be an employee of the service providers, creating fake websites or imitating official logos and branding.

3. When in doubt, it is always advisable to directly contact the official helpline of your mobile money service. They can verify the legitimacy of any communication you receive and provide guidance on how to proceed.

By staying alert, being cautious of suspicious requests, and seeking assistance from trusted sources, you can effectively protect yourself against scams and maintain the security of your account. Your vigilance is crucial in safeguarding your financial well-being.

We encourage you to monitor your mobile money account for any signs of unusual activity. Regularly reviewing your transaction history is essential to promptly identify any unauthorized transactions and take necessary action to protect your account.

If you notice any discrepancies or come across any suspicious activity, do not hesitate to report it to your service providers helpline immediately. Timely reporting and action can help prevent potential financial losses and safeguard the security of your account.

In addition to reviewing your transaction history, stay vigilant for any unexpected changes in your account information or settings. If you notice any modifications that you did not initiate, such as changes to your contact details or security settings, it could be an indication of unauthorized access. In such cases, contact your service providers helpline immediately to report the issue and seek assistance in securing your account.

By consistently monitoring your account, promptly identifying and reporting any discrepancies or suspicious activities, you play an active role in maintaining the security of your mobile money account. Your diligence and attention to detail will go a long way in ensuring the integrity of your financial transactions and protecting your hard-earned money.

Remember, maintaining the security of your mobile money account is paramount to safeguarding your financial well-being. By implementing the measures outlined in this guide, such as keeping your secret code confidential, staying vigilant against scams, and regularly monitoring your account, you can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access and potential financial losses.
