Staying safe from scams and fraud

Fraud knowledge hub

Fraud is when suspicious activities happen without your knowledge. Safeguarding your personal information and devices are essential steps to help protect yourself from potential fraud.

Businesses can also be targeted by criminals. As a business owner, it’s important to implement effective risk management practices and systems, ensuring both protection for your business and your customers.

3 steps to remember

  • Stop - don't give money or personal information to anyone if you're unsure.
  • Think - ask yourself, could the message or call be a fake?
  • Protect - act quickly if something feels wrong.

How we're protecting you

Protecting you 24/7

As soon as a suspect transaction is detected by Bendigo Bank 24/7 fraud monitoring, we will try to contact you to verify the transaction.

Multi-factor authentication

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security measure that requires two or more proofs of identity to verify a user. Asking for additional details to confirm your identity provides greater security compared to a password alone, making it harder for criminals to access your accounts or information.

Secure online shopping

Mastercard Identity Check, Visa Secure and eftpos Secure are free services that protect your card against unauthorised transactions, giving you confidence when shopping online with your Bendigo Bank debit or credit card.

Banking safely online support

Bendigo Bank’s Banking Safely Online sessions enable one-on-one connections between the Bank and our customers to help grow digital capability, confidence, and security.
