Notify your financial institution that you have finished e-banking so that your session can be terminated securely.
The most important points to remember:
- Terminate your e-banking session correctly via the function provided for it (usually indicated by the terms “log off”, “log out” or “exit”).
- Please clear your browser cache every time you log out of any e-banking sessions.
Terminate your e-banking session securely
When you have finished your e-banking, don’t simply close the website or browser or switch your device off straight away. Instead, please terminate your e-banking session correctly via the function provided for it (usually indicated by the terms “log off”, “log out” or “exit”).
This notifies your financial institution that you have finished your e-banking session, so the connection is terminated properly. When logging in the next time, users will then once again be asked for identification.
Delete your browser history
A variety of data (texts, images, etc.) are stored temporarily on your device while surfing the Internet - i.e. also while e-banking. These could offer certain opportunities for attack. You should therefore remove these temporarily stored data after you have finished e-banking, and please clear your so-called “browser history” every time you log out of any e-banking sessions.
Alternatively, you can also open a so-called incognito or private mode window in your browser before logging in, which will ensure no data are stored in the first place.
