Protecting Your Information            

At Arab Bank, keeping your personal and financial information secure is our top priority. We are committed to maintaining secure effective methods when collecting, using and exchanging your information.

We deploy and maintain security controls and procedures that are constantly monitored and reviewed to ensure they are relevant and operating effectively. Our approach focuses on prevention, detection and correction at different channels.

We work continuously to ensure ongoing compliance with all central bank’s regulations and alignment with best practices (i. e. ISO/ ISMS, ITIL & COBIT) as applicable to the Bank’s business model, and to be PCI compliant where and as required.

How to Protect Yourself:

In addition to using strong authentication methods (below), please do not release information that could be used to compromise your account. Regardless of the type of information requested, you are advised to:

  • Assess and determine the reasonableness of the request, and ask yourself how critical the requested information for the specific service.
  • Verify the requestor’s identity by requesting precise information (e.g. last name, first name, department, direct manager name) and if you are unsure of anything, kindly contact us to inquire about the provided country contact information.

If you receive a suspicious e-mail or SMS message that appears to be from Arab Bank, please do the following:

  • Do not respond to the message or click on any of its links.
  • Report to the bank immediately via the phone number or e-mail that is specific to your country.

Arab Bank will never ask for your secure credentials (such as user name, password, PIN, One Time Password (OTP)).

Passwords and Authentication:

Protect your accounts and identity by securing your credentials (user ID & passwords) and authentication methods (e.g. token & one- time password(s) (OTP)). These are the ways systems verify that you are who you claim to be. If your password is compromised, a person knowing your credentials can have access to your account(s) (e.g. transfer funds).

Tip: Arab Bank’s online banking services support this security feature. Please consider using this security feature that generates a strong authentication method.

Use a strong password and token for optimal security. Call our Customer Care Center for more information.

  • keep your computer or mobile device software updated.
  • Download mobile apps from reputable sources
  • Install and keep your anti-virus software up-to-date.
  • Lock your computer or phone when not in use.
  • Avoid installing applications from unknown sources.

  • Share your authentication credentials, bank cards or PIN (ATM or customer Care center).
  • Write your password down.
  • Use default passwords, names and dictionary words, even in different languages.

Create and Use Strong Passwords Only

Passwords should be strong so they are not easily guessed or cracked (i.e. at least (8) characters long, upper/lower case letters, and include numbers and special characters).

Tip: Use a pass-phrase to remember your password.

(e.g. The phrase: “Would you like 3 scoops of ice cream?” forms a strong password “Wul3$oIc?”).

Common attacks

Social Engineering

“Social Engineering” refers to the practice of manipulating people to circumvent security systems and conduct fraud. This technique involves obtaining information people would not normally reveal to strangers.

Social engineering can take a variety of forms (e.g. telephone, e-mail, written mail, fax or instant messaging).

Phishing

Phishing is a type of social engineering attack often used to steal user data, including login credentials and credit card numbers. It occurs when an attacker masquerades as a trusted entity.

Phishing messages can come from a growing number of sources, including: e-mails, phone calls, social media messages and text messages. Victims can often be tricked into clicking the malicious link, or opening the malicious attachment.

E-Mail and SMS Spoofing

“Spoofing ” is when an e-mail or SMS message appears to have originated from one source when it was actually sent from another.

For example:

A scammer contacts a company pretending to be a financial institution/vendor, claiming that their bank account number has changed, so that subsequent payments will then unknowingly be routed to a fraudulent account.

Identity Theft

Identity theft is a type of fraud where a thief uses your personal information, such as your national ID / social security number or bank account number, to open accounts or initiate transactions using your name. Criminals may approach you pretending that they are a representative of the bank. For this reason, please verify the identity of an individual or entity prior to responding, either verbal or electronic, to requests, for personal or banking related information.

Tips to Safeguard Your Information

  • Only enter debit/credit card and personal information when it involves a transaction you initiate and only on websites you trust.
  • Always use a secure website or authentic mobile application when submitting debit/credit card numbers, financial or personal information online.
  • Update your phone number by notifying the bank as soon as you change it to ensure you receive instant notifications for any conducted transactions on your account(s).
  • Regularly monitor your account activities to promptly detect fraudulent transactions.
  • Avoid accessing your online banking services in open, public areas like internet cafes.
  • Secure your mobile phone and immediately report to us if you lose it or suspect any unauthorized access.
  • Shred all documents containing personal information, such as bank statements, unused checks and deposit slips.
