(password and pin) for financial transactions. We would like our customers also to be aware of the risks involved and take appropriate measures to secure their online banking.

• Beware of spam emails which may contain a virus or have a link to a fraudulent website designed similar to
  that of the bank. The intention could be to compromise your confidential data like login-id, password, pin, etc.
• Keep confidential the personal details like login id, password and pin.

Change the password and pin on a frequent basis. Do not disclose them even to the employees of the Bank

• Use a combination of alphabets and numbers for your password.
• Use Virtual Keyboard provided for entering your password for security
• Check the web-site address in the browser. It should be that of the Bank (http://www.iobnet.co.in).

This check is very essential as there could be surrogate sites with similar names, which can capture the users’ id and password
Phishing Alert
• The modus operandi followed by the fraudsters is to send an email which claims to be from your bank.
  It does not mean that your e-mail address, name, or any other information has been taken from our systems.
  It may ask for your security details or it may ask you to follow a link to a site where you will be asked to provide your
  security details like login-id, password or pin
• Clicking on this link takes you to a fake site, which though looks like your banks site,is operated by a fraudster.
  Fraudulent e-mails and websites can be very convincing.

Treat all unsolicited emails with caution and never click on links from such emails and enter any personal information.
If you receive any email asking you to enter your ebanking password/PIN etc, do not open the
link or give your login id / password / PIN lest the same may be misused.
We do not send emails to customers asking for their login id, password or PIN
• If you get any message that seem like they are coming from Indian Overseas Bank seeking confidential information be
