Banking is an aspect of life that affects most people whether they are involved with businesses, investments or even if you simply have your wages deposited into your account. In today’s internet age, its importance is only growing and so is having safe and secure protection measures in place for someone’s money!

With that in mind, it is astounding how many people use very simple pass codes for their banking and personal information. I was surprised to learn that 11% of the population uses the code # 1234 for their banking information. Someone has worked quite hard for their money and then disregarded important security measures by using a code that anyone can guess.

Also, please do not tell your PIN code to anyone including family and friends. The entire purpose of it is to provide security and telling others defeats the intention.

Please avoid using anything which is easy to remember. If you an easily recall it, chances are that someone else can too. Avoid using birth years and “feel good” codes such as 5683 (i.e. LOVE).
