Among these threats, phishing scams are one of the most common, involving fraudulent attempts to steal sensitive information such as bank account details, passwords, and even personal identification numbers. These scams are often disguised as legitimate communications from trusted institutions, making them difficult to detect. 

However, there are effective steps you can take to stay ahead of these scams such as activating your digital token within your digital banking’s app. This adds an extra layer of security, making it harder for scammers to access your accounts.
