Q: How can I keep my mobile device secure?
A: Here are 10 tips to protect your mobile device

1. Use the passcode lock on your smartphone and other devices. This will make it more difficult for thieves to access your information if your device is lost or stolen.
2. Log out completely when you finish a mobile banking session.
3. Protect your phone from viruses and malicious software, or malware, just like you do for your computer by installing mobile security software.
4. Use caution when downloading apps. Apps can contain malicious software, worms, and viruses. Beware of apps that ask for unnecessary “permissions.”
5. Download the updates for your phone and mobile apps.
6. Avoid storing sensitive information like passwords or a social security number on your mobile device.
7. Tell your financial institution immediately if you change your phone number or lose your mobile device.
8. Be aware of shoulder surfers. The most basic form of information theft is observation. Be aware of your surroundings especially when you’re punching in sensitive information.
9. Wipe your mobile device before you donate, sell or trade it using specialized software or using the manufacturer’s recommended technique. Some software allows you to wipe your device remotely if it is lost or stolen.
10. Report any suspected fraud to your bank immediately.

Other Reminders:

• Do not attempt to deposit a check received by text or email. These checks are fraudulent and will not be accepted for deposit. Learn how to spot, avoid, and report fake check scams with this information from the FTC.  
• The endorsement on the back of the check needs to match the payee on the front of the check, in addition to “FNB Mobile Deposit”.
• Payee on check MUST be on the account chosen for the mobile deposit. If check is payable to more than one party, both parties MUST be owners on the account. If both payees are not listed on the account, then both payees need to deposit the item at one of our locations so they can be properly identified.
• You must have a physical check for Mobile Deposit. Images from a computer screen or email attachments are not legitimate checks.
