AIB will never ...

Text you with a link asking you to login to your account on mobile or online banking.

Ask you to transfer money to any safe or third party accounts.

Ask you for a One Time Passcode (OTP), card reader codes or Digipsass codes when we contact you.

Ask you to download software or request remote access to your accounts.

Ask you to not login to your account for a few days “until we fix a problem”.

Stay safe

Take these steps before making any financial decisions or giving any personal information to anyone:

Stop
Think and ask yourself - What? Who? Why? Do I feel rushed to act?

Assess
Make sure the person contacting you is genuine.

Factcheck
Check if the information you’re being given is real. Banks won’t ask you to provide all of your login details or tell you to not login for a few days.
