BMO Mobile Banking security is 100% guaranteed by the BMO Online Banking Guarantee for personal banking customers. However, there are a few things you can do to help minimize fraud and protect your information.
Password-protect your mobile device – Many new mobile devices have built-in password protection. Enabling this option will protect your device if it is ever lost or stolen.
Never store confidential information on your mobile device - Keep personal confidential information like a password, SIN, or your PIN off your device. You can rest assured that with BMO Mobile Banking, no confidential information is ever stored on your mobile device.
Report a lost or stolen mobile device immediately - If your mobile device is ever lost or stolen, alert your mobile service provider as soon as possible.
Don't hack or modify your mobile device - Modifying the software on your device can leave you vulnerable to viruses and spyware. Protect your device by using it only in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Disable Bluetooth when not in use - While Bluetooth makes it easy to talk hands-free, hackers can take advantage of the always-on, always-discoverable setting. Limit your exposure by disabling Bluetooth when it is not actively transmitting information or switch your Bluetooth device to hidden mode.
