7 savvy steps to safer mobile banking

Create a device password

Go to your phone's settings menu, and configure the device so each time the phone is turned on, your password must be entered to access information. Use the password feature on the phone when it comes out of the power-saving mode as well.

When your phone is locked, it's more difficult for a thief to get your personal banking information. Also this helps protect you, if you ever lose your phone.
